Well its been along time since I was here, but here I am asking questions again.  doing an engine makeover on my big block, and has anybody ran a stealth 8012 without hood clearance problems Am taking the oldgirl to a 545 with a quick fuel 1050 and the stealth matches my port size on the head...

NPD has the correct factory color. It is charcoal metallic in laquer. I used it on mine and it was perfect match Part# AP4464

I agree with Boss 351. If you want to blast large volume areas you got to go big. I have a two stage 22cfm compresser that I have had for around 35 years. it will run multiple tools and painting is no problem but to put a blaster big enough to do a whole car keeps it busy, I don't have to stop...

JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS. I checked rock auto and saved a lot with the ACC carpet and sound deadner. One more thing off my list. Now to get to the shop and work on finishing the paint prep. THANKS AGAIN...

If you can find it please let me know. I have been facing the same issue, I tried 2 1/2 with a pair of so called low restriction mufflers and the car was so rich I couldn't stand to be in the shop with it. Took them off and it was fine. I'm running 466 with all the trimings and an 850 double...

When I did mine the first thing you will find is the motor mounts won't fit. Crites performance products, Ashville Ohio has the mounts. Then in my engine, first was the pistons of course, mine came with new flat tops so I left them. I then went with a comp cams big mutha thumper, hyd lifters...

COMPRESSORS are like trucks,your not going to pull a 6000 lb. trailer with an s10. You have to look at your future plans and what you want to do, and how much. I don't think I would even think of spraying a car with a compressor less than 12 or 14 cfm and that knowing Im going to have to watch...

There is a simple way to check for 28 or 31 spline without pulling an axle ,check this site. http://www.kevinstang.com/Ninecase.htm

I have seen it before. Especially on older original paint, and if you ever notice some newer ones also. (example dodge trk hoods and roofs) Its as tho the pigmet deteriates or even excessive rubbing and buffing over the years. Either way the finish is basically wearing thin.

I have bought from Sherman in the past. Malibu parts but I had no problems with them and the service was good.

I go every yearunless of catastrify. I hope it will be better than spring. It was not near as good as in the past. I'm only about 45 minutes from there so its a no brainer for me.

To me its like drinking coffee, Its all your preference. I personally don't like to do final alignment until I have the car assembled enough to have the weight distributed as it will set when complete. I personaly like to assemble the drive train portion and then edge all the inner parts of the...

X2 on the table. It appears you have skill, I would consider bracing the cowl to the 14 post at the top and even an X type brace from qtr post to qtr post. but I bet you already figured that. GOOD LUCK

Many good responses here, but some I can't agree totaly with. In the day of the 70's we would sometimes order what we called factory pack paint, meaning the paint was mixed by the paint manf. Some stores would make slight miss match paint, so when trying to color match a factory pack was...

IMHO, I don't think you have a major problem.If you feel the rust is concerning enough, try one of the cheap little hand held sand blaster, altho it takes alot of vacuming and cleaning. If not that bad wire brush it, use a nuetrilizing substance to kill the oven cleaner and then a rust...

I haven't been on for sometime, due to no falt of the site. But tonight I got a chance to visit here and to my suprise I had a reputation boost and a couple awards. Man you guys know how to make a guy feel bad for being AWOL. But from the bottom of my heart I thank You all!!!!! This site has...

I have a oil thing that bugs me. When the engine was built evry bearing was checked to keep 2 to 3 thousands clearence, now when I start it it has 65 to 70 psi pressure, but within about 5 minutes it drops to 45, if I hit the gas it jumps right back up. So do you guys think I have a problem or...
