    1971 Mach 1 hood lock, locking tab washer

    What if you make some of your own with two standard washers of the same size and cut the u-shaped form with a dremel or similar grinder and a file?

    Suspension paint daub colors. Help!

    Others have already mentioned some really helpful tips. I redid the paint markings on my driveshaft and rear axle based on the original found markings, others based from literature about drivetrain combinations and their exact markings or my buildsheet. I simply used some paint brushes of...

    Unusual request

    Same here with my Moroso 351c 7 qts capacity oil pan (8 in.). It has the typical t-shaped front sump (3 in.) with the slosh baffle and a rear side scraper. I always thought that it is constructed for the OEM dip stick to match if you fill the advised capacity. But with 7 quarts (+ 1/2 in the...

    What is the right black out hood paint?

    Kevin, I don't know about the SEM Hot Rod Black, it is not a product available in our country so I had to make something similar by myself. With the paint color of your choice, grabber lime, I would stay with the black Mach 1 hood treatment. It has just the looks. A naked grabber lime would...

    What is the right black out hood paint?

    Kevin, it is a simple 2 components single stage black paint color in semi/low gloss without clear coat. I did the body color first, then applied the black paint with a paint mask like original. It is a very smooth surface and will clean up fine when needed. It has just about the right low...
