    66 cuda

    Pullback on the arm(spring loaded)there should be lever on the arm down by the stud,pull that lever out,let the arm down and should come off.May need to rock it back and forth if its stuck.May need a screw driver under neath or something to give you leverage without damaging the cowl,should be...

    66 cuda

    Take the hinges off.If you have the kit Memike is showing you will need to drill the holes out for the bushings,the originals did not have the bushings in the hinges,just a pin,when wore out,it opens the holes up and wears the pin.If you just replaced the pin,they will still be sloppy,thats...

    W/S gasket install help needed

    No sun?Drop your lockstrip into a bucket of warm water,keep it in there as your feeding it into the weatherstrip.This will keep it flexible if you get hung up in a spot or so and its partially lubed now.

    Removing Trim from 1966 Barracuda

    Use a putty knife,make sure the corners are not real sharp,put it on the bottom side of that moulding and lightly tap it.This takes alot of patience to get them off w/o damage,take your time.

    some more questions

    Hard to see from your pic,you want as little bare metal exposed as possible.It will rust from the inside out if not treated properly.They make a product called PHIX,hit your bare metal spots with that if you cant prime again but atleast try and spot in those areas if you can after the metal has...

    some more questions

    Well i never done this without repriming and if you dont have that option i guess you will have to make do.At this point guide coat will be pretty worthless if your not repriming i think cause if you have high spots you will continue to sand through your primer causing more bare metal spots and...

    some more questions

    If i were doing it i would prime again,at least 2 coats not with the high build but a regular primer surfacer.This will fill your abrasive scratches from blocking with the 255.I have always blocked with 120 but 255 is still agressive.Blow it off good and wipe down with towels while you are...

    Snagged a gas cap!

    I used one of these.Still took some modification but saved alot of time over what i was gonna do.Dartcuda had the right idea if you want it to look more factory but if your looking for a quick way to mount it and still be able to take it off later and replace the stock one without any mods...

    Best Wax-Original Finish

    Probably a matter of opinion but if your not going to buff it out first Meguiars cleaner-wax would work fine and take away some of the oxidation,maybe do it twice if you dont have a machine. Best way would be to buff it out first,those old enamels usually clean up really well.Than wax it.
