    Best paint for Radiator top?

    Yes there is in chalkboard black, or gloss, or satin. Krylon Fusion is the best....it says no prep, but on your Mustang I would take the time to clean it up well, but it really bonds well, and is very durable. A lawn chair maybe you just spray it on with no prep, not a car. To save a lot of...

    Smooth fox engine compartment

    Get duct tape and stick it on the inner fender side then a touch of body fill........done. Another neat idea that works is just put rubber grommets in the holes or even small bolts, torx head bolts or screws look real cool.
