    All Cleaned Up... I Think I Keep It Around

    Thanks. It was going for a decent price and one of those "I couldn't pass up"

    I don't think you'll need to get rid of the gila hole. At least I doubt that is the problem that is spitting black stuff all over the back of the car. If that were the case, even with the turn downs you'd probably still have the problem as the exhaust will still flow up and put specks on the...

    All Cleaned Up... I Think I Keep It Around

    I bought this GT a few weeks ago. It was pretty dirty as far as the exterior goes. Interior needed a good wipe down. I washed it today but it will still need a good buffing to clean it up. All black interior that needs some love. Overdrive is gone but luckily I have a 4r70w in the garage...

    Adding Vin To Ecu

    2003 Mach 1 5 spd- I bought this car serval years ago. I went to get emissions testing this week and it failed due to the Vin missing the first three digits in the ecu. I've been to a Ford dealership three times now and they reflash the computer and it's still missing the first 3 numbers...

    Of course. But I'll need a plane ticket to this shindig to bring it to you. Also, a passenger seat to ride around in while I'm there.

    Where To Get A Decent Rebuild Kit 91 Aod.

    So I completely forgot I have a perfectly good 4r70w sitting in the garage that was for my 56 project. Apparently the internals will fit right into my aod and it's much improved The 56 has a aod as well so I don't need it any longer for that project

    I think it's awesome to see how far you've changed a traditionally ugly family truckster into a sweet machine.

    Plasma Cutter. My New Favorite Tool

    Just fired it up for the first time today. Cuts nice and smooth. I used a straight edge that has a groove which keeps it off the material. Soo much better than a cutting wheel. This is 18 ga. steel. I'm making a small box for my truck as a first project

    Removing Chrome

    I don't yet. I am waiting for your expertise in that area. I wanted to get a gallon of some filler for the body panels. Figure I'll at least go through that much on these big fenders. What brand do you recommend? I have a few paint supply houses near me. Figure I'll get some sealer and etching...

    Removing Chrome

    What about filler for any pits or dents in the chrome? Would a high build primer suffice.
