    Diagram for checking car in Frame Rack?

    I have seen the answer to this somewhere before but what does the -10 on the baseline mean?

    Magnum 500 question

    Anyone know what these paint daubs mean? I've heard of orange daubs and white daubs but not red and white. Maybe they're not factory marks? Also, what is the value of Magnum 500s? I have 2 14" with tires that I want to get rid of but don't know what to price to ask.

    What happened here?

    Any guesses on how this happened? The rear half of the wheel well is pushed out by about an inch. Should I be concerned? It looks like the movement stopped at the brace that attaches to the top of the wheel well. You can see where the metal kinked (red circle). The outer wheel well needs to...

    rear quarter skins

    I know this has been asked before but I couldn't find the post. Are there any rear quarter skins that are better than others? Any brands to avoid? Is Dynacorn worth the extra money? Thanks!

    What should I paint my rear end with

    My cars rear end that is. I've got the rear end torn apart and cleaned up and ready for paint but looking for suggestions on type of primer and type of paint. I've heard of people painting the bottom of the car with bed liner but didn't know if that worked for the rear end too. What have...

    Great '71'73 Mustang Art Website.

    Here's an illustration I did at work. I can change the colors to any combination that is needed. Can also send higher resolution too. Not sure how the attached file will look on this post.

    Getting Head Work

    Yes, it can be done. Removing headers is a different story. I ended up cutting them apart with a sawzall to remove headers (they were trash anyways).

    media blasting sucks

    If it wasn't for the mess, blasting would be fine. I hung tarps from the ceiling surrounding the car and ran a big exhaust fan but dust still covered everything in the garage. I did go out and buy a leaf blower and it works great for blowing the dust off of everything in the garage and the car...

    media blasting sucks

    The dust everywhere afterwards is the worst. I've got about 60 feet of black pipe before the air outlet that let's the air cool pretty well before it gets to the end of the hose. My compressor is only a 60 gallon model and runs non stop while blasting but no loss of pressure as far as I can...

    media blasting sucks

    After deciding that I wanted to take my car down to bare metal and "do it right" I started researching media blasting. Pretty much everything I read said DO NOT do this yourself, that it's well worth the cost to have someone else do it. I thought "it can't be that bad" plus there is no one...

    Welding question, for the beginner.

    +1 on the Eastwood 135 if money is a concern. It works pretty well for the beginner plus it has a 3 year warranty and 30 day like it or return it. Like everyone else said, Practice, Practice, Practice!

    mcline71's 71 mach 1 project

    A little bit more progress...Made a patch for the rocker panel and welded it in. Still needs work but for a first time welder I think it's workable. Just need to finish welding up a few areas and a little bit of filler. How does the saying go? A little filler and paint makes a welder what...

    An original Ram Air Plenum...Ebay auction ends TONIGHT

    Pretty sure mine has the fiberglass weave. I'll have to climb up into the attic of my garage where all my parts (junk) are and take a look. Thanks for the info.

    An original Ram Air Plenum...Ebay auction ends TONIGHT

    How do you tell a repo from an original? I bought a used one at a swap meet for $25 about 15 years ago and now I'm curious what I have.

    Hate it when your kid drives a nicer car than you

    I did teach him everything I know about staying away from Chevrolet.

    Hate it when your kid drives a nicer car than you

    Yesterday my 20 year old son called, said he was in town and had something he needed to show me. Needless to say, dad is envious.
