Man, wife is gonna freak!! I need 20 of them! Anybody have an extra room and spot in garage?

I paid $100 for mine, everything but the 3rd member. $250 for 3:55 suregrip (rebuilt).The problem is that was 15 years ago! I have sold complete rearends for the magic number of $1000 that need rebuilding, so I'm guilty of the high prices too. However, we have to remember, if we wanted to buy...

The wheels are 4 1/2 wide. Pm me and I can email some pics I can't figure out how to post them.

The wheels are 4&1/2". I can't figure out how to post pics but if you want pics pm me and I can text them or email. Thanks!

I have a set of 14" factory Lime green steel wheels. Three Plymouth Division dog dish caps. I acquired them quite a few years ago. What I'm wondering, is there any value to them? If so how much would be a fair price? They are small bolt pattern, the guy I got them from said they came off of a...

First of all, you are introducing moisture to an operation that we as painters are trying to avoid!! The whole reason we use water traps, and golfball air filters. As the water on the floor evaporates it goes up, and up is where your car is. As for the grounding of the chassis, my old boss did...

I have a 904 out of my 65' that has a stage 3 shift kit and full manual valvebody!! Super fun to drive!! A lot of people asked why I would do that, then I took them for a ride!! At the time I was running a built 273, 904, 8&3/4 with 3:55 suregrip! I tell you what, that thing would go slideways...

A buddy of mine had $2000 into just red (Honda Chianti Red Pearl) paint and clear!!! 4 oz. Of Chilli Pepper Red for my Durango was $95 with my discount! I would do base coat clear coat! To me its actually easier to shoot than single stages! If you run or sag a single stage paint job you get to...

No blending, you have to kill the panels and start over!

Don't forget, on top of the compressor you will need to buy a water and oil separator. Spend a little bit of money an one of these! If you don't want to see little blisters, peeling paint or surface rust on the parts you are working on. You can find really good ones at your local paint supply...

I found some on craigslist a while ago when looking for a buddy. Mines 10 horse, two stage 220. We always have good luck looking for body shops, or automotive shops going out of business or just upgrading. Another couple of buddies got ahold of some rotory screw comps, that just needed to be...

I think you should keep looking and saving! I was a production painter and also did completes for 20+ years. I would'nt use a compressor with less than 20cfm @90psi. When and if you paint metallics you don't want any kind of changes is crm, or psi! Just my opinion. And the 80 gallon is the size...

That's awesome, glad you chose a line that will last for a very long time!! Can't wait to see pic!! If I could figure out how to post pics I would put a couple up for you guys to judge!!! Lol

So I got an update on the cars! My buddy has been working a lot lately in Portland Oregon, also starts moving this Wednesday. He is hoping to get the cars to my house within the next two weeks. Sorry its taking so long, I'm just on his schedule now. Thanks Mike

What some people are forgetting to tell you is, single stage is harder to spray! If it sags you get a huge line of colors that look like an upside down rainbow. Then it needs to be sanded flat, repainted and hopefully it doesn't do it again. I only use base clear. I have been doing this for 25...
