Need to get Nomad in primer soon also. [url=http://s1183.photobucket.com/user/Alleycatgarage/media/100_2433.jpg.html]
  5. Hope nobody took pics of the 500 pound guy trying to do three wheelers in electric chair , my back could not of picked him up ! Art Brown was there also !
  6. Sometimes bad hoses cause brake drag also , I have seen people replace calipers before hoses and repeat prob. cause they expand before they flow .
  7. Eddie I don't understand 2 4 4:30 what is it ,trying to drive a Datsun today will show up late .Thanks 4:30 .
  8. Hey Eddie is that burger joint near Magnolia and Ball ?
  9. You want a nicer job , please pay someone to paint it , at a shop ,somebody that paints often ,you want it nice the first time and good single stage paint should lay nice and no buffing required , trying to be inexpensive cost more ,maybe rent me a booth 150 here in Whittier ,or wait , got three to paint here and my booth is not finished due to funds and electrical stuff needed ,220 single phase motor for fan ect.
  10. www.socalcarculture.com I always say make it to a car swap meet if you can while here ,here is all car shit to do. I like slick track go carts always will to go race.
  11. Way off topic Watching news today- 9-1-14 In LA yesterday there was seven separate shootings with four dead ,so you peeps in PNW. consider your selves lucky , living in Gods country with out gangsters shooting at each other for sport or whatever , I hate this toilet we live in down here , it's depressing .
  12. Ok you can prep the car better than a cheap paint place , so why not spend a little more on paint ! all I am saying is I can buy a kit of cheap single stage make a gallon total 110 bucks .(I prefer quality paint) Or buy a better quality single stage gallon for 160-200 depends on color ,when hardener added and thinned makes 1.75 gallons . takes less than one gallon to paint car and you have extra paint incase of small stuff that happens later. Macco and one day paint is lesser quality paint usually . Doing such a nice job ,prep it and mask up ,and pay a shop to paint it maybe 400-500 for a shop to spray it.250 for paint ect . May be find a local paint store and get quotes on paint !
  13. Ok Mike , would you lower it up there in BC , I think not with roads rough and all ?
  14. Both corners needed re-shaping ,I am happy with very little rust and out come ,Left side which tail light is hinged and has gas cap inside was a little work ,we cut a groove in wood before we pushed out due to seam there , helped I think hold board and new used a few 4x4s to keep angle right with wimp jack when we pushed out ,we are lucky I have a 1956 to compare to and get angle perfect with paper template ,fit tail lights pretty close , Still have a little more welding ! , and Z shop dog looks like a photo chop- dog , had to put an oic of311 been fixing a bunch of small stuff but driving and feel lucky to have it ,makes me want to do an sr soon on 65 310.[url=http://s1183.photobucket.com/user/Alleycatgarage/media/100_2452.jpg.html]][url=http://s1183.photobucket.com/user/Alleycatgarage/media/100_2450.jpg.html]
  15. There are some shorter shocks ,made for Dodge colt rear 71-77 and some other early Dodge imports , Been running them for awhile now , had a bunch of Mullholands but down to last set. Can post a pic maybe ?
  16. I can put in some input here ,cheap clear is just that , good clear cost 200-300 per gallon ,and as much as I want to thin 10-20 percent to make spray out lay better , lately trying to barely thin 10 percent ,because it has UV protection built in that fights clear peel , but if you live in inland empire and gets really hot and you have no garage in may still screw up in a couple years , I had to repaint Zerows car due to clear peel on roof and hood . With single stage paint also can be too cheap or spend a little more for quality paint .CLEAR IS BETTER ! I have my own spray booth I need to spend a little moron to get up and running .Soon....
  17. OT. Hate to bitch but it's 97/35c inside my shop , speedway races ( live cast )tonight will be hot also ,There I posted c. for canucks. How hot is it THERE VTR ?
