Didn't see a picture, do you have vacuum lines connected to the vacuum canister? It's the other can right next to the vapor canister you have circled in orange. Large input vacuum hose, small output going to HVAC system. It provides a large area of vacuum to support the HVAC functions, basically...

I was just looking into this I believe if you go to rockauto.com and search part number 87679 for the S shaped hose $5.22, and part number 80405 for 5/8 heater hose with 90 degree on one end $13.07 each(you need two). Both are Dayco hoses. So for $31 bucks plus shipping you could have hoses...

Thank you, my wife inherited it from her dad, I have been working on it since September 2023 getting it back up to good driving condition. Luckily it was stored in a garage and in pretty good shape before I started. Due to only working on it in my free time, an hour here a few there it is a slow...

I'm changing out my front seats which are in good condition. I simply decided I wanted to go a different route. They are green and complete. I only see one small tear on the drivers bolster and two marks on the bottom seat cushion. The passenger seat is nearly perfect. I am located in...

A bit more progress, the vinyl top is now black. My Grande emblems weren't great, missing most of the black paint. So while spraying the top with SEM Color coat I spent quite a bit of time cutting out the Grande script with yellow painter's tape and an exacto knife. Pictures are the result...

Funny enough I found mine disconnected, not knowing what it was, I plugged it in. As soon as I realized it is the door buzzer, pulled the plug right back out, no thank you. Often let the car idle in the garage and leave the door open. That noise is annoying.

That is why I got a few sags and runs, went a bit too heavy trying to glass it out. But I did 3 coats so plenty material to cut and polish. Honestly I rather deal with a run than dry spray.

Only the 40 grit one is useful. The others I didn't bother with. Buy a couple of them. You will wear the edges on curves of the car. I also bought the 2 inch strip discs from Amazon for some of the more complex areas like around the back window of a coupe. Used a cordless drill for those.

A tip for anyone painting their car, I used speedokote epoxy primer, which sands awesome but their tech sheet says to use a 1.3 tip, don't that stuff is thick, the second round of primer I used a 1.6 tip on my paint gun, so much smoother finish. The black is also speedokote Jet Black single...

Will do. Just want to get the outside done, next up EFI and interior. I have a room full of parts new carpet, new seats, seat belts ect. Once I get all the stuff I purchased so far on to the car. Then I will order the TKX and start that adventure. That will most likely be next winters project...

So more progress was made today. Tomorrow I need to sand out a few runs, then spray it again. Followed by a cut and buff and should be good enough for me. Not going for show quality, it will be a weekend cruiser. Not perfect by any means but not bad considering the last car I painted was a...

I recently purchased a passenger rear one from Mike Berardi. He has them, you can contact him on here or Facebook. He is in the Detroit area but will ship for a reasonable price.

On mine a previous owner painted the entire underside flat black.

Unless your going all OEM most of that you can buy on NPD website.

Well still hoping someone contacts me soon. I really don't want to scrap a good original hood.

Wish someone had dimensions on this part for a 72, then I could just use someone like https://sendcutsend.com/services/cnc-bending/ to make me one.

Same bum contacted me about the hood I'm trying to sell. These scammers need booted off of here. He wasted my time trying to get me to take paypal or zelle, I was like it's a hood you have to pick it up, bring cash then I googled his email account and all the scammer flags popped up. I...

It actually works great, doesn't heat up the panels too much. Went through 4 sanding drums for the entire car. Removing 2 paint jobs on this car so it was pretty thick. Much faster than using an orbital sander.

I used the Bauer SCT from harbor freight, as good as the one from Eastwood just way cheaper.

Well finally got some warm weather last weekend here in Washington. So I finally got to spray the epoxy primer. The primer went on a bit rough not sure why, but I needed to sand it anyway, so it's not a big deal. Now on to a bit of bodywork. I used a 1.3 tip which is what the tech sheet called...
