Thats it!

T Thanks for the info. Those roll drums are not cheap so I wonder how long they last. Everything is relative though!!

Be sure the tank is not leaking at the sending unit and mayb the drip runs back toward the filler tube?? If it has been replacd and they usd the new lock ring it fits too loose and will leak at that gasket.

I would post a pic but I am not that good at the net. Not a flap disc. Google "drum sander" maybe. Thats what I call them.

Thats what ya call a "pole girl!"

We are headed to the city today and Thur. for doc appointments. HF stripper is on sale at about $125 IF you pay the bandits $35 for their "membership"! I have wondered awhile how well they work and if they eat those drums like a kid and M & Ms???? Amazing how well I have done with the $35...

Gas tank vent tubes and dirt daubbers//////. Not good.

The contour stripper is a "sander" that uses a drum made of the honeycomb type material. I have seen it discussed a little on here, most people have bought one and never ysed the darn thing.

I have noticed after hunting an oem cap for several Fords ( yes whip my *** with wet noodle) that best way to find one is measure the inside and outside diameter of filler neck.\\\ If the tank is not vented ( like said) it will have a tube from it or in case of later B and E bodies, 4 hoses...

'My search shows few opinions. I have always had a big compressor and DA 'ed all my cars to bare metal. But... today I do not. What is the opinion of those that use this contour stripper?

When I mention SPI epoxy is sandable I am referring to IF the time spam has passed and it needs a scuff before going on as to the next step for me is in high build urethane or a poly primer. For those that don't know, epoxy primer is great because of its ability to stick to darn near anything...

Like most people I hava always heard the saying, stay with one paint co. products all the way thru, for obvious reasons. But I admit after 40 odd years doing my own cars. just mine as I am NO pro!!!! and you old not pay me to do someones car. I have used epoxy primers, urethane primers, poly...

Hard to beat Southern polyurethanes epoxy and other products. Their epoxy is sandable.

All of us car nuts are in a continual state of learning. IF we are actually doing something.... It would be great if we would all think to share our latest knowledge. Many times we don't because we get tired of having people tell us just how wrong and stupid we are ...maybe????? I have NEVER...

Go to th TECH sheet for whatever you are shooting, be it single stage uethane, any primer, read what IT says. I t is important! MY supply to paint any car in general is epoxy primer, Epoxy primer REDUCED for sealer, correct reducers for all products, ( reducer temp is highly important), all...

I wanted to go look at a couple of projects recently, but a POs had removed the drop rails so I declined. Yea I could obtain drips rails and reattach but I said screw it. I had a 71 Demon once a PO had removed the drip rails from, WHY I have NO idea. The only damn thing he did to the car good...

The key is in the reducer temp. I always use a very slow reducer and they even have an additive to slow it even more. Think about if you have ever sprayed high build urethane primer on too hot of metal!!!

Back in the late 89s early 90s I used 2 different guys for body/ paint. One guy was a case a day beer drinker but the best body man ever. Or I should say as good as the best. He was wayyyyy out in the stcks. Anyway, he said best time to shoot single stage was when there was some humidity. He...

YES!! For us guys whre life if HOT! or tying to prime/paint outside,YES use the HF temp gun and see how hot that metal is!!!!!!!!!

^^^^I agree with JDMopar there. If I have the jams, under hood, decklid, etc ready, I would either epoxy prime and shoot color OR epoxy prime do the urethane high fill, and to desired smoothness, OR/and when readdy for color, sand that as in prep for color.

Southern polyurethanes epoxy primer.

^^^^IMHO opinion "rust convertors " and acids that kill rust are two different things. If in doubt, ask a real resto shop or GOOD body man that question. I say DuPont, PPG etc. do not sell rust convertors they sell metal prep (not cleaner). But hey if it works, it works?????

You said it has surpace rust!!!! Go to a good (Maybe Ace Hardware) and get a qt. of OSPHO. Buy a $2 sprayer and spray inside the doors till it is all very WET. Let dry all day, next day spray again let sit maybe 5 minutes but NOT dry to neutralize the OPSHO and rinse very good! Best to...

Way back in the 60s my dad had a llittle Sears compressor, the tank might have been maybe 10 gal? He had an old siphon gun, and primed and painted my horse trailer F8 Met. Green. It turned out perfect. WTF!!! How!!!!! First time he ever attempted such. OK, so he was of the "Greatest...

Single stage, ie 2K auto paint is always more durable and shiney than Rusteolum. Lets say you pay $100 for a qt. of 2 k body color with hardner. 5 spray cans of auto aerosol is what maybe $18-20 a can? The HF gun is dirt cheap and get the air gauge to attached at the gun. In general, set...

Looks good now. Or a cheap HF gun, a qt of single stage from a real store and borrow the neighbor's compressor a few minutes? Just an option.

I agree with a single edge razor blade. Try to get both surfaces flat and free of old glue. Then use the good plastic emblem glue.

I have a bud back in rural Mo. that has a 40 acre old car boneyard. He is a Ponyac guy but still a good guy. He has a couple of Ponyac survivors like a 67 Firebird and a 65 Goat. He told me once, they had perfect trunk floors, etc because he kept the floors and surrounding area coated in used...

^^TCP Global.com it can take a week or so for shipping to get from Ca to Pa. Luke I SAID< call Southern polyurethanes and place an order for any kind of primer, best of stuff and they can get it to you in a couple days. I guess you have too many rude and worthless auto paint guys in Pa!?

Don't you guys in Pa. actually have pro auto paints stores?????? Plenty of people, including myself, will recommend Southern Polyurethanes out of Atlanta. Free and quick shipping. Great epoxy and urethanes even high builds. Even clears. And probably the best tech guy in America.
