    Por15, Where all have you used it?

    I tried POR15 "Hardnose" paint a while back on my mower deck. It took eternity to cure - like a week! The benefit of the long cure time is that it is self-leveling, meaning that the brush strokes vanish leaving a super smooth surface. Unfortunately this also leaves it more vulnerable to dust and...

    Por15, Where all have you used it?

    POR15 is cool stuff, but it's also a PIA to use. Yes you can spray it with a standard primer gun (never done it myself), but you will need (at a minimum) a real respirator or even better, a supplied-air respirator. No point having a car that lasts forever if you keel over. Note: you can only...

    Converting a 73 to a 71?

    Then your car did not have a 73 urethane bumper installed when you purchased it. That's five 71-73 Mustangs. The proof is in the pictures that you conveniently didn't post over the past 2 years (for obvious reasons). Just for the record, I'm a mechanical engineer who has disassembled and...

    Converting a 73 to a 71?

    Without pictures to prove otherwise, I'll never believe it. I still own four 71-72 Mustangs and one 73. It is not physically possible to attach a chrome front bumper to a 73 urethane bumper bracket. If you installed a chrome front bumper, you used 71-72 brackets. I posted pictures of what the...

    Converting a 73 to a 71?

    I'm starting to think that ratio411 just likes to stir the pot every now and then :D http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/733149-71-73-owners-got-question.html 2 years later and I'm still waiting for pushrod to post pics of his bumper bracket.

    Very Very impressive. I checked out your UK thread and dang you guys were thorough. After looking at all that, I'm starting to think that this hobby is just too rich for my wallet.

    Red Oxide Primer - undercarriage question

    POR 15 is a rust converter and the only top coats that adhere well to it (without special preparation) is POR 15 Top-Coats which are available in a small variety of colors. Once cured, primer will not adhere to the slick POR 15 surface. To get a non-POR 15 primer to stick to the rust converter...

    Tire Age: Safety Hazard - Excessive Paranoia - or Sales Promo

    I think the point of the story is that the tire could easily be older than 6 years from date of manufacture when we're buying it as "new".

    Tire Age: Safety Hazard - Excessive Paranoia - or Sales Promo

    Aged Tires: A Driving Hazard? - ABC News After watching this lengthy ABC News story on the potential hazards of driving on tires older than 6 years (from date of manufacture) I find myself wondering if this is a real safety hazard, excessive safety paranoia, or a ploy by tire manufacturers to...

    What Trans does my 72 Mach1 have?

    Hyjack The FMX in my 73 351 2V leaks quite a bit. I haven't done any diagnostic research, nor do I have any experience with transmissions (outside of swapping a C4 from an econoline van to my 72 coupe about 25 years ago). Before I jack her up and crawl under there, what are the most...
