    Rear tires are rubbing on fender!

    So I would say you need to trim before you roll, the more metal you have on the lip the more stretch youre going to have to deal with as you roll it over. Also, use a heat gun (this is to make the paint more pliable so it does not crack).

    What equipment is needed to spray epoxy primer?

    so here is my experience. 1 follow the datasheet for the primer you are using. i just use a cheap hvlp gun (100.00 range) for primer. make sure it has the needle size recommended on the datasheet. I have a 60gal compressor, but i think you could get away with a 40, maybe 30 or so. I dont...

    e85 or stay with pump gas

    if your running any sort of fuel injection and the car will sit for long periods of time e85 can gum up the injectors. If you put boost in the picture i say definitely go e85, if not id say its a toss up for me.

    12 Volt vacuum pump problem

    The unit that was in my car was 10 amps. it is correct. its a small squirrel cage motor only driving a small compression motor creating 18-22in of vac. If you're blowing that fuse continually many things could factor. Bad motor, or excessive heat in the engine bay (as heat rises with...
