    fender undercoating question

    I would consider priming first a must....scrub down metal really well and then etch with metal conditioner then primer.... undercoating has alot of pinholes and it could get ugly pretty quickly since the undercoating has enough thickness to hold water in the pinholes up against the metal

    body holes/scoops

    holes are small enough to plug weld shut....cutting squares make alot more work and greatly increases chance of warping..............has anyone actually installed or watched someone install the side scoops? how is it done?

    body holes/scoops

    has anyone filled the holes left by the rocker chrome and the holes left by the "E" quarter molding? I'm assuming the procedure is weld-grind-bondo-sand-primer-sand-etc also has anyone installed the side scoops that go over where the "E" quarted moldings go?.... How is this done? I had a set...

    Stripping Paint

    heh, about a month ago I was in the same boat as you.... thought it would never end..... a little over a month later here I am and it hasnt ended (working on it 6hrs a day and 7days a week). I'm using a little bit of every thing so that it cuts down on the monotonay..sandblasting, chemical...

    Do I need an air comp. to change out valvesprings

    not much air flows by the valves when using the air compressor method..... what about using a foot powered bike pump? (with some creative plumbing) wouldnt flow much air but seems like it would be plenty to keep valve in position (make sure you keep it pressurized though)

    Feasibility of making a friend's (and my) exhaust? (ranting prologue)

    is it feasible to make air-tight welds with a MIG welder? I have one of the lincoln "weld-pak" units and it does great structural type welds but i've never been able to make anything airtight (pinholes everywhere).... alot of this might be my technique? any suggestions for airtight welding with...

    header selection

    ok I think I've decided on Tri-y's for the lower and mid-range torque, I can get a set of ceramic coated headers for 250$ from mustangs unlimited, seems pretty reasonable to me, anyone have any better deals? is the coating they use a real ceramic coating? (jet-hot not HTS)..................also...

    header selection

    ok I'm planning out my engine setup, decided to de-turbo it (my homemade setup was just too ghetto to have in the car after I'm finished restoring it, among other reasons) I had tri-ys in it before the turbo setup but was thinking about my header options: most likely going to have them (or order...

    Any gains in running an ignition box?

    if you do... it would be a good idea to carry some wire and wire tools in trunk.... my MSD 6A fried on me and I ended up using paperclips to make the original coil wire reach the coil again (I shortened it when I installed the coil wire in lead to ignition box)... was lucky I had them

    Tremec TKO

    check the actual coding of the mfg date (forget how the #s work exactly)... but I ended up with a '90 5.0 drivetrain once-upon-a-time that was unaltered and yet had an '89(weaker) T5 in it (must have been built early in the year)

    Protecting hidden areas

    in my seat platforms especially just by reaching finger through the bottom holes I can feel it's rusty but it's still solid enough that it wont need replacing, I suppose to really do I right I will end up taking them out.. if nothing else but for piece of mind, my hesitation there is that my...

    Spindels??

    if $$ is an issue, the granada swap is also a very popular method to consider, however they are single piston floating calipers... still beats the heck out of front drums but not up to par w/ the fixed 4 or more cylinder calipers that i've seen for the non-granada setups granada swap does...

    Protecting hidden areas

    I'm sure someone has run across this and possibly found a solution... how do you strip/clean/paint in hidden areas like in the seat supports, inside the smaller part of the shock tower, and to a lesser extent inside the rear quarters (I can get to them, it's just a pain)? so far all i've...

    Rotisserie restoration frustration

    $$$ was the issue as far as stripping... I'm happy to say though that in the past day or two I've made some real progress, dont know how exactly since I've worked the same but I guess that's just how it goes :) ....about 25% left to strip and now that I'm excited about it again I might have it...

    Rotisserie restoration frustration

    thanks guys, helps alot..... but I guess just seems like the stripping should be going faster?... I love the fabrication and reassembly though so once I get past stripping will be much much easier (not actually easier but alot more fun :) )

    Rotisserie restoration frustration

    ok, I'm probably just whining here..... but this is either the 2nd or 3rd week (lost track) that i've been going out to garage every day averaging 6hrs of stripping and I'm maaaaaayyyyybbbeeeee halfway done. for those results you would think I was using a toothbrush and toothpaste, but I've been...
