    So, my wife is wanting me to sell my car...

    +1 on window guide bushings. Not expensive, 5.0 resto has them. Once you find the bolt on the bottom of the door that holds the guide rod in place they are not horrible to change. If the windows are tinted use something to protect the tint (I used a file folder) while you wrestle the guide...

    need help before i throw it away lifter issue

    I know its a pain but you should pull the cam and inspect it. Right now you don't really know what caused the lifter to fail but its a 50/50 bet it also damaged the cam lobe. Since you have it down and the lifters already out its not that much more work to pull the cam. You'll hate yourself...

    21 year old rustproof removal

    I had decent luck with the airsol (sp?) spray bug and tar remover. Wd 40 may also work, as well as paint thinner etc. Lots of elbow grease and some good stiff brushes. Try cutting down the bristols on a 3 inch cheap paint brush. Good Luck

    SS Urethane vs. Base/Clear

    Not a bad price if you trust his work. You can sink several hundred just for paint and all the mixins, not to mention tools, spray gun etc that you need to do it yourself. Maybe you can help him, then you'll be part of the project, learn the process, be able to spend the extra time to take car...
