I would say no and also hope and pray you never have to replace it That gasket is NOT reuseable any more.

That is some hard core determination. Kudos!

I'm sure a 53 GM truck fender is a totally different metal to work with. What I did on it was use a 1/4" metal rod to create the arc I wanted. Tack it inside the fender and then cut slowly with the cut-off wheel. I took care to take measurements and tack in the same spots and made sure the rod...

It has lasted almost 50 years with the factory overspray finish. Do you plan on parking it outside under a tree? An additive in that closed and sometimes damp environment will promote rust, not prevent it.

$2k is way too much. You hinted that it is destined for the crusher if you don't buy it, what does that tell you about its value?

Yep. probably too late to park that in the desert. I can't see the downside to taking advantage of the guy who wants to help you fix it, you certainly can't do much more harm.

Here, Here! You gotta do what you gotta do. Sure beats doing nothing.:blob:

1mm=a little over 1/32nd inch. I would bet that after spraying a couple shots the thickness of the paint will make that hole smaller. Practice a little on some cardboard and see if you are happy with the spray pattern.

He should be running a max of 40 psi with that sprayer, just about any compressor should be able to keep up with that.

Your paint is never going to be any better than the prep work. When you think you are done sand for about two more days. As for the HF gun, I have painted three cars with them, the first I had results similar to yours. Then I read the instructions and spent a lot more time sanding for the...

I like that! Might have to add that to my choices.

Where did you get the windlace? :wack:I need some, send it to me and I will install it in my car and tell you how it's done.:roll:

Discussion is good. I have a welder, that doesn't mean I am a welder. Something as important as the structural integrity of my vehicle will be entrusted to a professional welder not a bottle of Elmers. Just my humble opinion.

It's not going to be unless it is how you remember it in your minds eye, so make it your own. But, I am assuming you are building the car to suit you not a judge at a show.

You could get some flat steel and replace the parts that are too thin. You don't need those 3" long slots anyway.

See your local seamstress and/or upholstery people and have one custom made.

X2 There should be a tool rental store near you. Maybe even rent a plazma cutter.

Of course it's your car and whatever paints your wagon (or bumper). I don't think it looks good. JMHO

it's sort of like a toggle bolt. its a half moon shape and you have to push the antenna in some and tip it out of the hole

So what you are saying is I shouldn't use silicone to glue that pesky moving window channel in place?

you talking about the little metal tubes, then probably any mopar at the salvage yard will have something that will work. I've never seen new ones.

he needs one of those thingies that hold the other thingy on. GEESH

about how many cylinders does that pile-o-pins represent? Is there a difference between the different manufacturers, (gm, ford mopar)? I probably have five or six old gm's laying around and need to rekey some mopar doors.

I saw a dual snorkel OEM over on the motortopia site. http://www.motortopia.com/parts/view/p/1862/i/mopar_hood_scoop_dual_snorkel_bolt_on_oe_on_late_60searly_70s_fair_cond

that was bad to start with.

What do you plan on putting in your trunk? I have always heard that the bedliner products are good for trucks that get a lot of abusive use. IMHO they look like crap on a nice unabused vehicle. I would think a nice paint application in the trunk area would be sufficient protection.

I've been thinking of rotating my filler neck up higher. Most pumps won't stay in the car and you have to stand there holding it. Ticks people off when I finish filling and then go pop the hood to check everything else. Some lady, and I use the term loosely, called me names I had to look up...

My first car was a 1966 Dodge Polara factory silver, I bought it from a local fireman who bought it new from the dealer. I don't think it was a special order car, but i could be wrong.

You have a right to vent, I would downright raise he11. The next problem you will have is when it is way over the estimate and the least important thing in the shop. It may already be there.
