I did, but had a broken windshield and I had rust repair in the channels front and back.

Only thing I would add is, I would paint under the new top with real automotive paint/hardener and all. This seals against moisture very well for a long time, primer not as much. You must let paint cure before you glue your new top to it, the adhesive will lift uncured paint, ask me how I know...

I'll get you some measurements after dinner.

You can get refills at most of the major shows. It is BS that they are pawning the crap replacements, and don't get me started about how everyone wants me to recycle my plastic shopping bags and we throw away tons of steel that recycles easily because of windshield wipers and other stupid ****.

Put them on the inside. Spin balancing is nonsense, unless you are going to spin the whole hub/brake and wheel(see post #9). Much like the car salesman, tire salesman are thieves. Buy the tires carry them out the door, and for the same money they "add" on for one set, you can buy a bubble...

Heat gun and a scraper. I'm going to try the oven cleaner.

It will help cover up some questionable area's, and overlook some dumb mistakes, that's good enough for friendship. When in doubt seal it up.

Sealer is your friend.

Just drive around with your high beams on like I do and everyone else apparently.

Chrysler blue, Dupli color makes a spot on version, decent quality, 2 cans especially with valve covers, manifold.

Around the windows yes

Let's the etching acid and then the primer run out after the dips. They dipped the cars about 1/3 of the way up to help prevent corrosion.

Go man go!

That was my goal with my Charger, just get it moving. Now it is on to becoming more livable and presentable. I'm trying to get my Barracuda moving also, it was down to bare body shell, never again.

I will never tear another car apart again. Rolling restos for this guy. If it does not move it is easy to forget about. If it does not even look like a car it will turn on you and become a overwhelming task with no beginning and no end. That why I mention the one bite at a time. Pick a spot like...

Little help here Big John. How do you eat a elephant? Same as doing the work. The floors and cowl and other hidden areas are good places to learn metal work and even mediocre results can be smoothed to not be noticed. Why pay $$$k for someone else to do the grunt work in hidden areas. Most of...

You need to swipe them once while they are trying to change. Tell them sorry was the rain sensing wipers automatically on, or sorry I just was not able to see what you were doing.

I handle that and the fender scratches from belts, etc. all by myself.

No sir, nobody touches my cars, especially not low man on the totem pole at the local chain parts store.

Don't make excuses for them. Before chain type garages became popular a state safety inspection mechanic would put a set on your car for a few dollars over what you could buy them for. Now they want to fail your inspection, put you back in the parking lot, then charge you full list price and...
