He hangs out with a Federation, you hang out with an Alliance. Are you really all that different? Besides, resistance is futile.
Laughed out loud at that one! I enjoy the look of determination on Homer's face.
The ridge is normal for high mileage cars. If you are removing the pistons, you would want to cut down the ring with a ridge reamer. You may or...
That 1962 is beautiful, especially the interior. Nice work. I have a Thunderbird, too, but it wouldn't be welcome here (not old enough).
The etching makes it a little harder to steal and resell. You can get your VIN etched on the windows, possibly incorporated into a decorative...
My point was, who cares if the POR sticks to the existing paint, if the existing paint won't stay stuck to the engine? If the lowest coat of...
But then you don't get a cool looking can. :(
If the paint isn't bonded to the metal correctly, then putting paint over top won't help. If it worries you, chemically strip it all off (while...

Maybe people started actually reading the text in your signature, and therefore ignored you? ;)
A mid-50s Poncho is a pretty good call in my opinion as well. I am basing this mostly on the fact that when my dad was a young, poor immigrant...
Ah, mon cherie ... we can re-engineer ze front suspension later! ... Spring is in ze aire! [IMG]
Hmm, good point there. Upon further reading, ozone is a major component of the process, but UV from the sun does contribute. "The major factor...
I saw the picture of the damage. It doesn't look like $3000 to me. It looks like the door at least could be straightened out, unless the...
