I’m looking for a set of FMJ body steering knuckles the ones that don’t have a ball joint built in. I have the spindles but not the correct knuckles to work on my 59 Plymouth that I’m converting the brakes on. I know most of you guys take these off and use the other type so hoping someone might...

Can't wait! Glad I saw the announcement. just moved to the Corona area so it's just a short drive now.

When I was originally building the 440 for my Scamp I wanted to go with a six-pack but skipped it thinking it that it was not able to fit under the stock hood without a scoop, but recently saw this photo of a dart that has it with no scoop. Has anyone else done this? If so is that part of the...

Your Inbox is full, I'm looking for a set of low back bucket seats do you have some? I live in San Diego as well.

Ok, first off I'm new to doing metalwork, and after getting the car back from the sandblasters the roof had a very bad oil canning, I was able to shrink the area with the torch/hammer and dolly, but now the surface has some high and low spots and before I proceed I was wanting to get some...

when it hot like that you really have to work fast I usually get 3-5 min working time depending on the amount I'm using. And as long as you get it thoroughly mixed and a uniform color to it you shouldn't ever have to worry about it not cureing

Thanks for the feedback, Think what I'll do is get some tint for my urethane primer and do a little test panel half and half one with the red oxide and one without to see how the final shade is. Right now the whole car is primed in a single color so I won't have the problem of matching panels.

Yeah, it really sucks that they stopped making them, took me a month to just find that one, I got the very last one from Year One.

I forgot to ask, what temperature are you using it in? That has a huge effect on how fast it flashes for me. Personally, for a 3in blob, I only go halfway with the hardener but spend a little extra time making sure it's really mixed well by folding it.

How much hardener are you using, say for a golf ball size blob? I have been using Evercoat Rage Gold and Evercoat Metal Glaze as a toper both are amazing but pricey products.

Used an AMD panel on my scamp, It fit like a glove and it wasn't too hard to get the old one-off, also did the factory sound deadening before putting it on

I'm getting close to the stage of laying base on the car (GA4) and have a couple of questions. Currently, the car is in PPG Urethane high build and is going to be block/wet sanded to around 700 grit, I have been debating if I should use a sealer over this or just skip the hassle and spray base...

I was really thinking of doing that but the rear end had already been built and still brand new and I don't want to spend any more on it lol

Yeah, I think I'm going to do that, I looked at it more and think it will look better there.

Ok, so I'm in the middle of doing the bodywork on my Scamp project here 72 Scamp 440 Build and have come to the point of working on the passenger fender. I found that the fender was originally from a 70 Valiant and I have the badges that would have gone on the fender, I wanted to see what people...
