gauges look very nice, did they have to do anything to the tach or was it working well when you got the car? My '72 had the original 8k unit but the needle had broken off so I replaced the tach with another one. I'm not sure if it is accurate yet as these are sometimes out of balance. If you run across two of the little black set knobs that seems to be missing on most of these, keep me in mind as I need one too!

Rick,
The tach worked great on the drive home from TN to MD late December, but with over a 100 k on the car I had it rebuilt. Thanks! Pat Bub, See pic! Thanks! Pat

Check out this Kick-A$$ air tool for striping undercoating, paint, and rust. I used it today on the bottom of my T/A with the fine wheel and it went through the undercoat like butter! I also painted one wheel well to test the color, looks to red? Looks like I will have to tint the paint darker.

Looks like great progress on removing the undercoat. The air tool you showed in the pic, was it designed for use with those special wire wheels? Or did you get the wire wheels separate and just use your own air tool? It looks like the tool was designed for the wire wheels.
I have some undercoating to remove and your setup looks good... Please post any info on the tool. Thanks.

Pat, I was wondering if you could get the name for the tool and the attachments for it also. I looked on snap-On's web sight but could not find it also looked on Northern tools
Thanks

What are the five 1/8" holes along the bottom of the rockers for? and should they be filled? Or are they drains?
Thanks! Pat

They are factory drain holes. (I asked the same question last year when I was looking closely at mine). Nice progress on your car, by the way!

Steve,
As drains they should be lower, to let all the water out! Thanks! Pat |

The brush is thinner so it fits in tighter spots,but obviously slower in the larger areas. (it's also great for cleaning pinchwelds) |

Most of the underside of the T/A is cleaned, red oxide primer, and clear coated! Now it time for the rear aft. Most of the work is fun, but this under the car cleaning stuff suck! At what point would the black paint for the firewall start from the bottom of the car? a picture would be great! Thanks

This is a shot from the bottom of my 72's original underside. The blackout ends at the seam where the firewall panel meets the floorpan. The black you see farther down the tunnel by the shifter hole is actually factory undercoating.
