    65 New Yorker, first project car

    Simple stuff first. It doesn't matter how good or bad it runs and drives. But, you have to stop. Youtube is full awash with channels of folks doing brake "rebuilds" before they do anything major. Start there, get your feet wet with that and the rest will follow. FSMs are great but they were...

    I want to upgrade the radio

    Admittedly it's not my idea, I saw it at the end of a "just rolled in" video. I thought I can do that. So, there it is. I really tried to find a mopar 8 track pedestal. Well, I wasn't willing to pay what the person wanted. Thanks for the compliment

    I want to upgrade the radio

    Here is what I did.... Blue tooth, so I don't break the law when someone calls, and I took the power wire from the clock to keep memory on the station presets. New Alpine 6x9s in the rear deck and a retrosound 4x10 { i think } in the dash. The head unit I traded for, so it was all but free. I...

    I have never heard anyone say "Man, I'm sure glad I sold that old car" slow and steady wins the race

    Jump seat disaster

    A friend of mine restored a 66 Mustang with "Pony" interior some time ago. He had the seat covers made and the frames professionally restored. About a month after we installed the completed seats all the measurements, which had been written in black sharpie on the inside bled through the vinyl...

    2023 the year of no progress for the ‘68

    It took me twelve years to finish my 70 El Camino. There are a lot of long haul projects owned by folks here too. Do whatever you can to keep your dream. Things always change when you get married, if you're doing it right. If your wife loves you like she says she does she'll help you with your...

    Some truck stops sell an aluminum etching cleaner, auto parts stores sell wheel cleaner for non coated aluminum as well.

    Restoration of unsellable 1978 New Yorker on Youtube

    Whoever was running the camera drove me nuts listening to her, I had to mute it.

    Paint under hood.

    We all know what opinions are like, that said nothing looks worse than seeing everything behind the grille. Satin black has my vote!

    Engine paint

    Bill may have the best engine paint. But, unless I'm navigating his site wrong he only has black paint....

    How does a gas tank get restored?

    Seems to me if he submerged the tank, then whatever is on it or in it would boil off. I've cleaned transmissions in a steam cleaner and they are spick n span both inside and out when they are done

    300 emblem on grill

    Meguire's Plastix polish might do some good. Or Blue Coral headlight polish too.

    Lubrication for plunger in solenoid?

    Use Ezok's gun oil. I don't think I spelled it correctly. Perfect for stuff like this.

    Graveyard or ER

    I watched an episode of Fantom works a couple of years ago. Sometimes they would show the sum total or just say it. One gentleman spent $49,000 on labor restoring a 41 Plymouth. Now, go try to find parts for one. I don't remember the total. I went to Hemmings, which is where the most expensive...
