Haha..You're right, $150 won't get an AK, but it'll sure get 600 or 800 rounds of ammo. Maybe a thousand if you know somebody..

Well, I was saving up for an AK-47, but I guess I'll have to waste some of that on a good paint gun.

I kind of thought that you could use most any gun for primer, but I guess I was wrong. Another...

Hey there Earl, I'm doing great. You done with all of your training for your new career?

The Ranchero is coming along. Right now I'm struggling with an 8" to 9" rear end swap. All of the...

Hope all is well with you guys. Haven't been on the site for some time due to other endeavors.

I was priming an old Dart the other day & noticed a kind of tiger stripe pattern. Good heavy...

Tech, first let me say that I'm a fan. I wish you lived next door to me so we could learn together & make stuff right. I love cutting, bending and welding, but at 53 I'm an amature learning as I...

Len, I really don't know any of the history, but to the ignorant & casual reader it seemed that tech posted a lot of good stuff. He's obviously learning & is excited when he comes across something...

See, I told ya...But I know I'm right, lol.

Woohoo...I can answer this. When welding in patch panels, the tip of a 90 degree corner is much more prone to buring off than the rest of it. I'm sure there are pros that never have that happen,...

Isn't that the logo of the NE Patriots? Maybe that's what Surfin meant...

Great queations & great answers. I need to save this thread off wheen I'm closer to painting my 66.

What about bolt heads, like fender bolts in the engine bay? If painted ahead of time, you run...

Thanks fellas. Like I said, I had to melt away the lead seam in order to weld. The lead is close to a quarter of an inch thick, so I scuffed it up real good with some 60 grit & filled it with metal...

Ever since reading that you can remove filler quickly & easily with a heat gun and a scraper. I've also been using this method to remove paint. My mustang has been repainted (never stripped) three...

The Mustang I'm working on had an inch long verticle crack in the quarter panel right at the rear edge of the back window. In order to weld it up, I melted away about an inch of the lead seam where...

Tech, looks awesome but I have a question.

What is that air nailer? When I first read your post I thought you were talking about a nail gun, but that's obviously not a nail gun.

Rick

Nice...

Rusty, keep posting, awesome work.

Rick

JC, Very nice job on the paint job & the booth. That's an awesome building you have there, complete with a Budweiser neon sign.

Is that an SVO?

"im gunna have to work some airbrush majic on it"

Gtome, I think you should paint some rainbows on it & maybe some cute unicorns. Just kidding.

I actually let a friend take a picture of me...

Careful now, there are a bunch of lefties here that might take offense your homo references...You might be stereotyping...No offense taken here though.

All kidding aside, riding a scooter is like...

Rodney, sorry to hear that the vapors bother you that way, but at least you still have your mental capacity and the ability to reason. You should read some threads in the 'just talk' and 'national...

Thanks Len. I guess I was unclear in the last paragraph of my post. I don't have they type of sealer that you use with a caulk gun, I have a pint (maybe a quart) sized can of 3M brushable seam...

First, thanks to Brian for his 'Basics' thread on seam sealer. I'd have never thought to tape both sides of the seam to get a clean look. Hell, I thought I'd just brush it on & be done with it. I...

2C, Hey neighbor & thanks for the quick response. I guess my real question is...If I spray with some hi-build primer to cover my bald spots & my scratch marks...Will I need to sand before spraying...

I'm restoring a 66 Mustang & have a question regarding engine bay priming. I've stripped the engine bay completely & have all of the front suspension out. I prepped the heck out of the engine bay &...

Thanks fellas. Tech, I removed all of the old paint with a wire brush on a grinder, I knew not to sand it.

Rick

I've removed the door skin on a 66 Mustang door, wire brushed & Pickle-x'd the entire inside. I'm fitna (Earl knows what that means) to spray the entire thing with Nason 491-16 epoxy primer. My...

Joseph, read the replies to my post where I asked the same question. "Reclear the whole roof?" was my response too, only on the corrola that I was working on this meant reclearing from the A...

Dennis, I do have three or four or five questions if you don't mind.

Here's how to do it right.

Start the color sand with P800 dry on a DA or P1000 wet by hand. This should remove most of the...

Hey Earl, I'm doing great. Hope you are as well. I have too many irons in the fire, between my 08:00-5:00 computer job, school two nights a week and on the occasional day off & renting a small...

Len, I used Nason base & clear. BTW, I just read a great post by Dennis on this very topic. You need to give him a raise.

I'm a night time student at our local Technical College & last quarter I started a 'scuff & repaint' job on a friends 1997 Toyota Corolla. Worked on it all quarter & finally painted it "Super White'...

Hey all, I'm working on a 66 Mustang and have a question about rust treatment. I'm currently working on the cowl seam under the hood, where the cowl, firewall and some other piece of metal come...

Y'all see my dilema. I'm not a professional, just an ACR student with access to a shop & paint booth. I'd really like to paint it but I'm not interested in stripping the car down to metal or...

1 - How should I charge?

2 - How should I proceed?

I have a friend that wants me to paint his 1969 Cougar. Two years ago, he "had the bodywork done & had the car primed".

He says that it...

Hey there Schooner, fancy meeting you here...

Rick, from one of the other places.
