    Paint and Body Fox Body Painting 101

    Sounds good. The crappy part is you are only seeing a part of the cracks. They are more like spider cracks. That was just the area I sanded off. So, I got some work in front of me. the plan was to paint everything at once. Jambs and primered areas

    Current progress. Stripping down to metal is very tedious. Even then, some of the primer or sealer is still present here and there. Here is the rear bumper a rear I was talking about. These cracks are through the clear and paint and into the sealer or primer it look like. I handed sanded...

    So the new rear bumper has a few cracks like it Had been bumped a few times. I sanded it down but it looked like the cracks are pretty deep. They don't go all the way through the bumper. What can I use to fill the cracks in? Do I need to go down to the plastic and into the bumper to get rid of them?

    I bought that set off of amazon. It was a little cheaper at the time. So far I'm happy with it. The gauge it comes with is not a regulator. It's just a gauge which I thought was weird. No biggie though as I'm going to put a regulator on both guns so I can fine tune it. I will say I was a...

    I have a cart full of things like this. I need the cowl cover too and they come in a set with the lower moldings. Also getting the outer lower window trim and felt package as well as a few other things. LMR is going to be getting a large duke of my hard earned money soon enough. Going to try and...

    Paint and Body Fox Body Painting 101

    Finished taking a lot of trim off and to start working on both fenders. Arizona heat takes its toll on plastic and rubber. Both lower windshield trim pieces broke at the tabs. The rear bumper is pretty shot. Probably be better to grab one in decent condition and ditch the old one. Here is a pic...

    Body is solid just paint starting to flake. I'm just doing a pane at a time right now. Hope to have the fenders done this weekend. Once it is all primered I'll block it all at once then move on.

    The other issue is these damn decals I tried to peel them off but they are so old and nasty and have to be scrape or sanded off which goes into taking them down to metal. Of course the sides have two stripes too and bottom. You can see in the second photo how sun just ate these A pillars...

    This photo is just to show the clump of crap under that door molding. It was awesome. Going with new moldings anyways. In this photo you can kind of see where area toward the center of the roof has a line of paint chipping or missing. it has areas just like this on several areas due to...

    Dave, thanks for all the help. I figure I would ask my questions on here versus pm in case someone else has the same issues and so you don't have to post in two different spots. Thanks for the tips on laying a smoothing high build primer. I found that my pressure was too low and causing it to...

    Build Thread '83 T-top Coupe - Welding Holes in My Rear

    It's amazing the progress you have made on this in your spare time. I'm stripping my hood and it is taking longing than I would like but it seems like it is something you would do in a few minutes.

    Or did that get welded too? I wasn't sure if you were referring to the bolt hole area or the crack

    4 Post Lift Vs Quickjack

    I agree 4 post. Anyone know anything about that brand. I want something trustworthy if I'm going to be under it working. Or if I park another car under it.

    4 Post Lift Vs Quickjack

    Looking at a lift for the garage. My wife wanted to get me a quickjack. Looking at them they seem kind of pricey. For the one I'd want it is $1500. So I wanted to see what a 4post lift would be. I have a post tension slab garage floor so I can't drill into it. I found a few that are pretty close...
