    Pepper in the radiator fix

    My dad and grandad both used the pepper trick for temp fixes anyway. I`ve seen it work and know it works in a pinch. Bars leak is crap as far as I`ve seen, never had a good exp with that stuff.

    Sanding advice needed

    I did mine with a razor blade tip, let car sit in the sun for awhile to heat up the surface, it`ll make the paint easier to get off. It`s not near as bad as it sounds.

    New to site.... starting resto

    Welcome to the site. I would suggest John at Opentracker racing products for your suspension. Adjustable strut arms are your best freind on these old cars, and will make your front end alignments much easier to get right (these new guys aligning cars these days just dont get it, trust me)...

    Body panel alignment

    I hate the striker I have beat on it, I have enlarged the hole that it sits in to get more room to move it around, and nothing I do to it will make it right. Get this, I can remove the striker, get the door to fit perfect, put the striker in, and not matter where I put it it pulls the door...

    Rear Window Defrost for the New Flush Mount Glass Kits?

    I think I`ll wait until he has real product to sell... Anybody that can afford to $1500 on a possibly risky adventure can wait and pay $2000 for something you can actually get your hands on. Having been scammed online before, I`m gonna wait and see what happens here before I pay anything.
