That job shouldn't be as critical for colour match new vs 35 years old for a couple of reasons. The steering column doesn't get anything close to the Uv exposure the the exterior does so it whould have very little fading from original. There isn't much around it the same exact colour to give it...

I'm no painter but the only way I see this being successful is if you can sand ALL the clear off which means some of the base coat has to come with. If the previous guy shot lots of base, you should have enough left to get consistent colour when you reclear it. That's a pretty big if assuming...

Reducer might do it, but depending on the original finish it can "reactivate" it so be careful with it. Before the advent of vinyl lettering on commercial vehicles, sign painters would use EZ Off oven cleaner to strip sign paint off a door. Apply to a few letters at a time for about 5 seconds...

When I did my New Yorker back about 2000, I spent over $2k on paint and materials and that was just plain old Centari, nothing special. Rolls of DA discs in 180 and 320, masking paper and good 3M tape all adds up to $$. Etching primer, epoxy and high build primers and lots of sanding and...

For future endeavors, make note of where the 3 bolts that hold the motor to the regulator are and drill a 3/8" hole through the inner steel door panel so you can get at them with a 1/4 drive socket. As long as the regulator is still connected to the glass and bolted to the door, you can reach in...

That looks like a non structural area. You're going to have to blast/clean it anyway to use that panel bonding glue so I'd just mix up some Marglas filler (fibreglass strand reinforced bondo) to plug the hole, sculpt it up pretty and call it a day. Kevin

Depending on how much and what kind of paint EZ Off spray oven cleaner will lift it. Spray it on, wait about 10 seconds and wipe it off. Rubber glove job for sure tho. Kevin

I'm sure they were made for them. The question is by who? Spectra and Quanta are 2 big players and I'm pretty sure Quanta is off shore. I don't know who their supplier is but if you wanted to get into the gas tank biz, Spectra I'm sure would be more than happy to sell you a few thousand. Kevin

Likely a Spectra Premium tank. Kevin

None of the above. Mod Top. Kevin

I wouldn't fool with it. If it has pits (of course it does), the acid that you carefully chose to remove JUST the chrome and not the copper underneath will go thru the pits into the zinc the piece is made from and voila, sludge. You could use reverse electrolysis but that adds the risk of...

So how much of the 24 hrs is welding the new floor in? It sounds like Stan is capable of all the prep work but isn't comfortable welding it back together. He could hire a pro to weld it in and do the rest himself. I am really interested in hearing how that C2C pan is for fit and finish...
