    Interior and Upholstery How to replace Door panel backing board

    Next was putting the bottom on. I didn’t have access to a staple gun that could do the 1” staples so I left them out. I may come back later and add them. But I flipped it over, got it lined up. Using the longest stapel I had on hand, I put one staple that would be covered by the speaker cover...

    Paint and Body Fox Body Painting 101

    Hey Dave. My tail lights and 3rd brake light are pretty dull. I’d like to shine them back up. I figured I’d sand them with 1000 grit and then some clear coat. They sell rattle can clear for plastic with uv protection. Think this would be fine or should I get some I can shoot from a gun.
