    New Floor Pans--Rust Resistor?

    Almost a hijack here (sorry), but if a guy had his car already media blasted and epoxy primered, could he use the POR 15, or Rust Bucket OVER the primer and not have to paint it?

    Military Guys In Here

    Hey boss, I'm an enlisted aviator (Aerial Gunner) USAF, AFSOC, on MH-53M Pave Lows. I would worry about the degree first. You could even use the Associates, join the Army and get your degree while in. We have pilots who were ***s (Former Army Guys) who excell in the USAF flying community...

    Aw ha, Historic changed the ol avitar!!! nice! That's not the Mrs is it? If so, sorry:) Anywho, what are these wedges you speak of, and how much does the pinion angle change? I know on 4 by 4 pickups with huge lift, this is a problem, but does it make a difference for a hot rod?

    What's the difference?

    Auto to manual coversion ???s

    I am building a 67 T/A coupe replica, and want the car era specific. Believe me, I lost a ton of sleep over the subject, expecially since the 351C was built up and ran low 11s at sea altitude. Oh well, now all I gotta find is a Top Loader....
