    How to Remove Pit Marks in my 68 Tail Panel

    I sanded mine starting 100 and worked my way up to 1000. Then buffed to a good gloss. I used a Makita electric palm sander which leaves oscillating sanding marks which polish out easier than straight sanding marks.

    How to Remove Pit Marks in my 68 Tail Panel

    SSSN8KE, I went through the same issues while restoring the surrounds and trunk trim on my '67 Barracuda. Trailbeast referred me to Leanna at Phoenix Specialty Coatings.

    How many of you grease your own trailer axles?

    I understand the concern about the oil bath rearing conversion. From what I have found from local boat and rv trailer shops the oil baths are more reliable and easy to check for oil level thru the cover and can be filled easily. If you have questions contact ETrailer they respond fairly quick...

    Ford 9" in 1965 Barracuda...an option?

    For my Barracuda a 9” ford from a Granada or Versailles was an easy choice. Cheap, bolts right in an it was simple to convert to rear disks using parts from an Explorer. Granted finding a Granada rear axle may not be easy, and modifying a typical 9” will add to final investment. A 9” Ford will...

    1986 police engine

    I have a high volume oil pump, and the pressure stays at or above normal pressure. The cooler has a heat sensitive valve. From what I have read the need to provide better oiling to the timing chain was why it squirts the chain. The crank to cam distance is long compared to most motors. So far so...

    Parking Brake Light Problem

    I am going to double check the harness connection and hopefully that is the problem. the reverse polarity is how the flashers have to be connected to work with LEDs. There is now a new connector switch the connection for the United Pacific flashers.

    Power steering box input shaft adjust

    Power steering box input shaft adjust

    I have been attempting to adjust the free play out of my power steering box. It has some in and out movement of the input shaft.

    I am going to start testing cranking voltage and the coil resistance. then pull the distributor and check the pick up. All parts are new, which doesn't means much these days. Went with the 8-pin after reading #Trailbeast posts. A major pain in the *** when starting motor for the first time.

    Anyone use Versatube? Would like opinions for garage build.

    If you are going with a “package or metal building” be aware that actual purchase prices can change quickly due to crude oil prices. Over the years I have seen big swings in prices due to fluctuations in the price of a barrel of petroleum. Also I would keep the building all steel since that is...
