    Infamous reversing dash frame screw

    I may have missed it but I havent seen a reply yet that shows that anyone has done it?(and provided pics). Based on my meager attempt to see what it would be like installing from the bottom, I'm reassembling with screws from the top. As much as I dont ever want to be under the dash again, I dont...

    Infamous reversing dash frame screw

    I actually thought about this after restoring my dash and "sealing" it in with the windshield. In the event someone should buy my car,(so I can build the next one) I'm going to weld some 1/4"-20x1" elevator bolts (flat head ,all thread)to the dash where the bolts go through, remove the speed...

    Paint stripping without a D/A

    https:/4-1/2 in. Polycarbide Abrasive Wheel I used these on my angle grinder, they also have shaft mounted for hand drills which don't have a backer so they'll do channels. They work great,they're fast and stay cool, No gouging either.

    mini tubs

    "EVERY A body has this problem"

    No dispute there, A lot of us are victims of previous lack of maintenance, accident damage and poor repairs. My '68 Coronet had spider cracks running from the receiver style striker all the way to the inner flange where the windlacing is. After stripping the quarter I found it was hit low...

    I bought my shell with the right side striker gone and a hole where the base completely cracked out, the left was nearly as bad. I did the plates and highly recommend them. Of course complimented with new hinges.

    Opinion? Paint Color - Similar to Period Correct or Something Modern?

    It is tough trying to find a modern color to compliment older cars. The body lines on the older cars tend to create more shadowing, so if you're looking at paint on new cars you might want to keep that in mind. Believe it ore not newer pickups are more representative of how a color would appear...

I wanted a 70's ish style custom color . color chips do no justice to contours and the way light hits panels. if you have any idea of what basic color look for cars and see how light hits it ...
