It's always best to get more than needed, just in case down the road you need a repair done. Nothing worse than running short even during painting. If done right, clear shouldn't peel. I've done four...

Very nice! I'm happy to hear he got it done fast like you thought he would. Those plans usually don't go the way one is told.

On my 72 Lemans, I chose to just apply the material without trying to influence the surface. I don't think from the factory these two surfaces were a snug fit everywhere to each other. If you try...

It seems that if the end of travel at wide open throttle is achieved when pedal reaches floor, it shouldn't need a stop. The floor is the stop. I wasn't aware the pedal rod was so weak as to bend out...

Yes , you can do this by yourself with little knowledge about AC. I knew nothing and installed/plumbed everything myself. I did take my car to the local Chevy dealer though to evacuate and charge the...

This is why I went with Classic Air. I did not want to rip out any of my original controls or under dash box. The only thing different is I used their evaporator, since I didn't know what shape mine...

Besides the cost to rebuild, the original compressors are prone to oil leakage not to mention the weight of them. I went with Classic Air (Old Air) as it uses a modern compressor at about 1/4 the...

If you can successfully disassemble to get to the points, that's where they go bad. Just a bit of filing or sandpaper to them to clean them and they work. I had to do this to my 55 Chevy last year....

My vote would be to just throw stuff in a cardboard box when needed. Even if it slides around, nothing comes out or drops into the cavity causing damage.

Don't do like my mother. I asked her why...

Many cars at that area develop problems. And it's not from too much torque. Over time, just the lead itself can develop issues with bonding to the original metal under it. I bought a 72 vert Lemans...

I'm with Greg on this one. You already have a welder. Floor pans are a good place to start as no one else sees them and it gives you a strong foundation. Trunk pan may be more work, but, again now...

When you speak of new after market units, they don't have this issue. They take less HP (about 5 to run the compressor). The old units take about 15 HP, so it's more noticeable drag on idle. My...

Why cause more grief and hard work for yourself. Put the distributor in while motor is out and forget about priming the motor before firing up. At least you know you'll have the dizzy in.
