    Good Metal Adhesive

    Yup...see above quote: "I have used fiberglass patch on things before but nothing from "above" like this one is, im afraid that it will make a big mess. I thought about finding a rubber plug that would fit, but the edges are too irregular"

    Spraying Primer in Garage - Any Tips to Keep Mess Down

    Thats easy.....2 dollar plastic drop cloths from your local hardware store or walmart.....cover up anything you dont want overspray on and lay a couple down on the floor, you could just wet the floor if you didnt want to use the drops.

    Good Metal Adhesive

    Yup...already considered that, i was going to "overdo" it so to speak on the jb....or try to bend a flange to raise up the middle of the patch. Boy those flange pliers from eastwood would have come in handy right now! Well, we gonna give ol John Boy Weld a try, its underneath the dash, nobody...

    Good Metal Adhesive

    I have used fiberglass patch on things before but nothing from "above" like this one is, im afraid that it will make a big mess. I thought about finding a rubber plug that would fit, but the edges are too irregular, i just want to take a piece of galvanized flashing and cut it to fit and bond it...

    Good Metal Adhesive

    I need a good metal on metal adhesive. I have seen the 3m stuff, but you have to have a special applicator for it to work. How about JB weld? I have a hole underneath my dash and I really dont want to weld it up (I have the entire interior in the car, looks like where someone used a 1.5" hole...

    3M Scratch Removal Kit

    Oh the falling leaves....springs

    I finally got my springs put in. 4.5 leaf mid eye Grab-a-traks. The ride is a little rougher than the stock springs, but its not too bad. The tires don't rub!! That's the big thing. Anyway, they bolted right in like they were supposed to. Now I need to do the shelby drop and the car should sit...

    C code quarter mile time

    Back in the day traction was a big issue. If you could get your car to hook up you could get some good times. Today traction is not an issue thus we have seen massively improved ET's. I can turn my 17 second car into a 15 second car with gears and a stall converter and a little tuning, but it's...

    C code quarter mile time

    Thanks, so the 17 second area is about right seems. Feels like 17 seconds, lol. Feels like 17 minutes seeing how my last toy ran the quarter in 11.9. BTW realmongo...Blazing Saddles always comes to my mind when i see your screename..."Hey you can't park that horse here, its...

    C code quarter mile time

    17.7 sounds (and feels) about right although I don't trust a G-tech to be within a second of accurate from my experiences with them. They may be better now than when my buddy had one over 10 years ago when they first come out. Although my goal for now is to have a car i can just enjoy and cruise...

    C code quarter mile time

    I put long tube headers, 2.5 inch mandrel dual exhaust, 4 bbl intake and a holley 600 vac secondary and points conversion kit. I know the 4bbl is overkill with the factory heads and compression, but the way i see it is the front barrels are around 300 cfm and if it ever needs the rear then they...

    C code quarter mile time

    I have looked on the web for this and I cannot find the answer im looking for. I can find info for the 289 GT but not for the 2bbl 289. Id like to know what a factory 289 c code automatic with the 2.79 gears would/should run in the 1/4. From what I read the GT ran around a 15.5 give or take a...

    '65 Coupe Rear Seat Removal

    I know on my 67 i was told to push then pull, but i can do either, its just barely in there. Its two loops that just snap the seat into place. Take your hand and just lift up and it should pop out. Then your back seat may have 2 screws at the bottom holding it in, if so remove them then lift up...

    brake distribution block

    My kit came with one of those adjustable proportioning valves to plumb to the rear brakes, but I didnt like it, so I used a GM valve that most kits include with them, only had to have one adapter to the rear brakes.

    Noise Filters

    Just an update on this one....i went to AutoZone and picked up some new 2 gauge battery cables with the good old lead ends on them (not those crap stamped ended 4 gauge ones I had) and the noise is gone! So, it was a grounding issue...thanks for the help.

Anyway as far as the heater, no problems. The heater will just...

    Oh the falling leaves....springs

    HAHAHAHAHA.....I put my 15 dollar lift shackles on this evening and drove my car down a bumpy county pothole patches on top of patches backroad and my tires never rubbed once. The lowest hole on these things is about an inch taller than the factory shackles. Heck if they didnt look so bad (Kinda...

    Unisteer rack & pinion difference

    How difficult is it to turn when you arent moving? Is it a "two handed" effort? I had a manual steering box I put on my old camaro and it was pretty tough when parking or any other low speed maneuver. Like you I don't want the hoses (I currently have the factory power steering) but I drive this...

    Unisteer rack & pinion difference

    I dont mean to hijack your thread, but does anyone have any info on the difference of driveability between a power and non-power rack? Im looking at the unisteer product too...but also at Total Control Products rack.
