My point was NEVER to duplicate the broadcast sheet it was simply to give people a place to "document" their car. Sure I could probably make it look similar but never exact. Whether they matched the original broadcast sheet or not was never the point. This idea never got traction though so I...

Which models will interchange hoods? I know 64-65 Barracuda or Valiant will interchange but will any other models? I need a hood and shipping is INSANE.

Anyone?

I would suggest some chrome polish in the corner first and see if it will take a shine. Even if it plastic or potmetal chrome polish is a VERY light abrasive so it won't cause a lot of damage. You can also try soft scrub or I like to use cutting compound. I use 3m stage 2 cutting compound for...

please do find the door weatherstrip. the original right stuff to damn expensive

Ok so I received the suggested crash book pages from eBay and they only cover frame measurements. I have ordered a few more FULL crash books in hopes to find additional information. In the meantime I took some measurements if anyone can confirm these I would appreciate it. I measured from the...

laysons also sells them they were about 6 bucks a piece for them.

I did know these had to exist just did not know what to call them. i will likely order these but i have larger wheels and tires now so i am not sure how much this will help.

I am looking for 1 to 1 then 2 to 2 and either from firewall side to firewall side or core support to core support side.

Ok so I need some help. I had an accident a while back and got screwed by a body shop and am now left to fix the damage on my own. I smashed the front drivers edge so what I am looking for is measurements from each fender body bolt across from each other. There are 5 bolts that hold the...

Absolutely going to need at least the core support. I appreciate the offer and I will let you know as soon as I find out what the insurance is going to do.

So I have found a total of 3 cars. 1 just north of Georgia in SC 1200 full parts car minor rust issues 1 in North East Georgia Don't know more yet it is in a Junk Yard 1 in Gulfport 2000 major rust issue. I have not called that 1 yet but I think I can talk him down. I feel WAAYYYY better...

Thank you guys for helping me out. Oklacarcollecto I have contacted the guy in Atlanta hopefully he has what I am looking for thank you for finding it I didn't have luck when I looked. cudascott I am interested let me see what the insurance company is going to do before I commit to anything.

Thank you for the great information. I need to wait to see what the insurance company is going to do. I am supposed to have coverage the will fix this.

It was not an exciting accident. I was driving home the road was wet and slick. I hit a slick spot lost control and spun out. Hit an embankment/tree. Rear end spun forward and the momentum brought me up to where you see in the pictures.

Thank you guys I needed some reassurance. Really was beating myself up and feeling depressed. I had just finished painting it maybe 2 months ago. Buckets of money into the motor. I felt like everything I did was completely wasted.

I could not see the frame because the lower valance shredded up towards the frame. Once we got it up on the truck the driver said the frame looked like it may have been tweeked. I disagree because the core support literally on traveled half an inch to maybe an inch back. The bumper was torn but...

I am okay just really beating myself up right now. The car stayed flat through the entire spin on and off the road.

Somebody please tell me that the damage looks to be fixable? From hat I could see the driver side fender, lower valance, front bumper. The core support looked bent. The head light surround.

I just finished painting my car the other night and I thought you guys may like to see it. It is minty fresh and I have not polished it yet. Roof Driver Quarter Panel and Door Jam Driver Roof and Quarter Front edge

Awesome information thank you I will definitely use this as reference. Experience speaks volumes.

lol I will try not to tell em.

lol I think that may be the issue I made sure my garage lights (florescents) were off and no flash so it is ONLY natural light coming in from the open garage door. As far as am I happy? I think so. Considering I am using cheap equipment with very little skill. This is my first time painting...

Good advice. I think I may be premature in my initial thought though. Looking at it this morning it looks WAY smoother. This is a shot taken from about 2 inches from the surface.

But wet sanding it would knock it back smooth right? How many coats should I put down to have enough material to work with for wet sanding?

When I said 20 PSI that was with the trigger pulled but static at the gun is 45. I can try and bring it up though. I can try some reducer also. 73AbodEE when you say 1:8 do you mean 8 parts reducer to normal mix of clear/hardener (4:1) ?

I am using Shopline from PPG with no reducer. I shoot at 20 PSI at the gun with a 6-8 inches from the surface. I have tried 4-6 and 8-10 also but it did not seem to help. Could a hot humid day affect if I get orange peel or not? Yesterday was a very hot and humid day.

Update just painted the engine sill and passenger fender. My clear keeps showing up with orange peel it isn't bad but it is obvious. Is there something I am doing wrong? If so what can I do? Also look for opinion on color choice and overall work. This is my first time on any of this. Front...

I love it and this is something I will be doing soon. Valkman for further detail there was "caulk" pushed around each of the christmas tree's right where they exit the mounting plate. I would take a small dab of this stuff and work it into a cone tapered down. Furthermore in the trunk area...

It is a GM color but if anyone is interested I can post the color code.
