I wonder if it would work on rust metal? Ya know... patina.Using this on the bare aluminum to keep it pretty. a clear coat that you wipe on instead of spray. Shark Hyde is the name never used it before but heard it works well on all types of bare metal.
Not sure seems more like a sealer than a paint.
Buying a quart so will do a test.

I agree. If you have load leveler it's even easier. I put my combo in with this setup from Harbor Freight.
3/4 ton Capacity Heavy Duty Load Leveler
It was easy but slow because it was a one man show. LOL. You just have to change the angle as you slide into place. I won't ever swap another engine without it. I'd help if I were closer and there wasn't a winter storm going on. LOL
Good luck, Steve.
Yep. Need to get one of those. Havent had much problem without one though. Some day. LOL
Fred , I can't tell looking at the pic in #272 but if your dist and cap are already installed, I myself would take it back out so you don't mess it up on the install. Looking Good
Nice idea and if you lived closer Id take you up on the help and make a nice steak dinner for sure.
Gonna take the dist. out it's already marked good call AL.
Yea been doing everything old school BP I think all the new tools are great but no harbor freight here closest is 300 miles away.
We just got one. (HF) Its like going to costco. Cant get out without spending a hundred bucks.
I think I would do the same that load leveler that Steve showed me would be first on the list. lolWe just got one. (HF) Its like going to costco. Cant get out without spending a hundred bucks.

Sounds good. I'm free this week until Sat. Going to Bison game then. Horns up. Then free Sun and following week.
Great I need you to look at a few things on my car when you come over you got about the same set up as me and know more about it than me. Thanks Gary.
Glad your here Craig nothing better than having a brother help me out. Sure had a great visit with you and Jerry and plan on coming back there and helping with your body and paint on the old fish.
Looks good I'm guessing about 450 to 500 HP? Should keep up with the truck but not sure if it will pass the charger. I am jealous she looks better than I remember her back in the 70's.Hmm If everything goes well on this tranny swap, I will be starting on the body work next. So i will be seeing you soon
Yea I remember the header problem you had my biggest problem is the factory sun roof seals not finding anything that matches yet.
I thought you had the sunroof seals sorted out.
That would be nice will check it out thanks.
I did but was half assed and wanted better.
