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.

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...

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!

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...

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...

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.

I started putting the car back together, kind of. I attempted to make a patch panel for the rusted out cowl area. I've never welded before or done body work so it's pretty rough but I'm slowly getting there. At this pace, it's going to be 30 years before the car is done.

After cleaning all the gunk off of my block I located all the casting numbers. Can anyone tell me what they mean? It's a D2AE CA 4 bolt main block which I was able to read a little about on the web. Date code is 2A04 and the code on the back of the block is 2F175423. From what I read it's a...

Here's my once in a lifetime opportunity that I have to pass up. It's 50 miles from my house so if anyone needs help with picking it up let me know. http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/pts/4279755171.html Keep us posted if anyone gets it.

I found a nos rear quarter panel listed as "make an offer" Anyone have any suggestions on what it's worth? Images show that it appears to be in good condition.

Anybody have any measurements on how high the reproduction quarter panels for a fastback go up the side of the car? I've got some damage pretty high up on the quarter and I'm wondering if the panel goes up high enough. Thanks!

Deer season is around the corner and I'm looking for any suggestions for a red dot on a shotgun. Past couple years I've been pulling the Eotech off of the AR, which works really well, but I think it's time the shotgun had it's own red dot. So if anyone out there has a red dot they really like...

What, if any, modifications need to be done to a non AC car to put in a factory AC unit. I thought I've read that one or both cowl vents are blocked off in an AC car? Also, what is a fair price for a factory unit assuming it is complete and in working condition? And lastly, is it better to go...

Anyone need a vacuum canister bracket? What's it worth?

Is there such a thing as a reasonably priced spray gun that will shoot primers and then color and clear? Or do people generally buy one gun for primers and then one for paint and clear? Also any recommendations for reasonably priced guns would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Will be taking my car down to bare metal in the next week or two but have a question about primer. How much epoxy primer is it going to take to spray the car from the firewall back, no doors or trunklid. Also, how many coats and how much time between coats?

Spent another fun evening scraping and digging out seam sealer, thinking for sure that this time I got it all, only to go out the next day and find a bunch that I missed. Does this stuff grow back in the middle of the night?!?!

I've got my windshield out but I'm now looking at all the black sealer that is remaining on the car. Any advice on how to get this nasty stuff off?

Hello everyone, just getting around to introducing myself. I own a '71 Mach I that is completely torn apart. I have a feeling I've bitten off way more than I can chew, but I think if I take my time and read a lot from this forum I should be OK. Have owned this car since I was 18, it's been in...
