I put an MII in my 49 car and regret it. I should have just lowered the stock stuff. One thing led to another V8, S-10 trans, nova rear. It would...
I bought a tube of Fusor that fits in a standard caulk gun. It was $14. Kind of messy. Not sure how it holds up though. I was using it for a small...
I used roofing asphalt for some sections of a nova about 6 years ago. It's held up really well and has never fully dried out it's got a lot of oil...
Thanks for the insight on an interesting guy and great artist. If I ever see him at Hershey again maybe I'll get up the nerve to say hi.
Here's the part numbers I have: Rotors (Napa):85532 bearings: inner:L58110 outer: LM12710 This was the big brake kit from ECI with the old...
The set I have has stock nova calipers and rotors (direct from NAPA) the bearings, seals and caliper bracket are the only difference. And when I...

Thanks for the tech. I always wondered how to fasten the lenses.
Looks Great. Can't wait to see a profile shot once you get the sail panels in. keeping the wrap around window is cool too. Not too many cars can...
You could probably use a punch like this too.
Thanks for the info on abrasives. I suspect they'll be getting a whole bunch of orders! Too bad there's no way to tell em how we heard about them...
The easiest way is to sand blast with walnut shell. Or just sand blast with regular stuff and polish the smooth areas after.
tommy, The black wheels and frame look great. I love that look. IMO matching painted rails look a little boring. Black just looks mean.
Coupe deck is way longer. Not sure if the lower edge will work.
I don't think it's a scam. I think it's a slow moving process.
me too.
My brother had that setup in a mustang. Ran amazing, looked ugly!
Nice car. I would see if you could fit the original steel wheels on it. You can get 1 piece bumpers from most of the big name chrome guys and...
