    Fabricating/Welding Exhaust

    i also have the hedman shorties, and 'flow tailpipes, and i fabed everything up myself. if you raise the tailpipes high enough, they will hit the valance in the right spot for the gt exit. you do, however need the gt hangers at the rear. the L shaped straps that go between the isolators and the...

    69-70 front fender nuts?

    if it is the same as a 65-66, (and it sounds like it is) you pull the fender out slightly,thread a bolt into the nut, and slide it up into the rocker, one end, and then the other... a little window butyl will also help hold it in place. i dont usually put them in until the fender goes on for the...

    took a ride today

    i took the pony out, and dusted off the cobwebs today. not too big of a deal for all you stangnetters in sunny california, or arizona, but northeastern ohio is usually frozen solid, with snow this time of the year. at 55 degrees today, it feels like spring!

    thats a 6 banger chunk, not doubt about that... i couldnt read the axle code, so its hard to tell what it says. is the front suspension the beefier, v8 stuff, or the puny 6 cylinder hardware?

    How Do You Use Cleco Fasteners

    there is a plier for taking the spring tension off of clecos... the tool grips the cleco around the body, and pushes down on the center pin. also, there are two different types of clecos... one for holding two pieces overlapped (you need a 1/8" hole drilled through the two) and another type that...

    Painting the Dash

    trim black is too flat, imho. krylon has a semi gloss black thats pretty good, but i used krylon appliance epoxy on all the black on my car. i found the more coats you laid down the more gloss you get. 2 coats worked well for interior parts, while underhood stuff got 4, for a nice...

    Recentering a rearend?

    the genesis laser alignment system can take measurements from a vehicle, and generate its own set of specs. the computer triangulates all the points you have targets hanging from, and will then display the out of tolerence areas on the screen. you can also save a set of specs from any vehicle...

    Recentering a rearend?

    my 65 is offset to the left... drivers quarter is about 3/8 inch closer than the passengers. the car took a mild shot to the drivers rear long ago, but still has factory sheetmetal. the impact didnt even damage the outer wheelhouse, let alone the frame rail, so i dont think a collision is the...

    Best solvent for parts washer?

    lacquer thinner (even wash thinner) is not the same as mineral spirits... 'spirits are only one step above common kerosene in the distillation process. thinner is a mixture of xylene, toulene, and sometimes acetone, that has a very low flash point, and as was mentioned earlier, evaporates...

    body work problems

    ive found the best was to shrink a dent is with a fair amount of heat, and a shrinking dolly. it has a serrated surface, mush like a meat tenderizer, and it gathers the backside of the metal, and makes it much easier to draw the metal back in, along with cutting down on the oilcan effect...

    Is stainless OK for restoration nuts & bolts?

    stainless fasteners would be a points deduction in a concours class. unless your car has ALL the correct belts, hoses, clamps, (i dont think there are many cars on this forum that falls into this catagory) i wouldnt sweat it. btw, for a little more bling, hit your bolt heads with a buffer, and...
