Thanks 65 Dart, did you etch the metal or is the SPI considered a self etching direct to metal primer.

All, I have read most of the paint primers and one of the underlying messages is to use the same brand primer as the paint. My question is does the same hold true with epoxy, or can I use SPI epoxy primer (or any other brand of expoy primer) and then go to my choice of 2K primer?base/clear...

Has anyone tried Evapo Rust. It's a non harsh chemical rust remover, not a converter. It is non toxic safe on the hands biodegradable and can be safely dumped down a drain. I have not tried it on any of the surface flash I have in the trunk but I did drop a rusty pair of pliers in it. Much...

And they are mostly fiberglass and aluminum.

Darnut, Looks like to me a little more foam, sand paper and paint and you'll be good for another couple of hundred miles. I looked at a car about a year ago where the guy had used Hilti construction foam skim-coat primer and paint on the lower rear quarter panel. When I was looking over the car...

Here goes a paint question, and yes I have searched the forms but don't see anything that addresses this. Before some one ready this and assumes I am talking about painting the car in sections, I am only talking about doing this with the direct to metal epoxy primer from PPG or House of Kolor...

So around 2.5 amps to power the average size top. Assume around a 40% loss factor in converting dc to ac and now you could be looking at a 3/3.5 amp draw from the battery. so leaving it on without charging for any prolonged period wouldn't work, so just add another battery and go for it. Sure...

If you are looking for more green but still bright try Gasser Green. The Jeep shows a little darker because of lightning. I too am thinking about it.

Thanks CUUDAK,I also foud a couple of threads a couple of hours after posting that had a lot of great info.

I am looking for some experienced opinions here. I am close to prepping the body for paint so some solid advice will be greatly appreciated. First a little history, the car is a 67 Dart. The car has had at least one paint job and not a very good one, nothing peeling or lifting, just not well...

Nope not the spacers. If you look at the second picture from 67 dart's post, the item labeled slide is what I guess I'm looking for. The Scamp I saw hat that slide inside a U shaped bracket and welded to the hinge right where the hinge straightens out, the picture has a hole there. That made me...

Thanks, I'll go do some more looking. The only car I've been able to look into has been a 73Scamp and it had some kind of bracket attached to the hinge arm hanging down so that is what I thought I was looking for.

Help!!; I'm looking for something that I have no idea what it is called. The part is for a 67 Dart, it is the hanger on the Trunk lid hinge that the torque springs go through. I tried to do a search but little hangy things did not turn up anything. If anyone knows what they are called or...

I posted a similar thread several weeks ago without a lot of help. I have found a glass shop that has done a lot of Mustang and Camaro's and said it will require adding an extension to the pinch weld. He said he had black molding that can be cut to fit. I will be going out to talk to him in...

Haven't decided for sure but cost is similar. The glass place I working with said the new windshield installed would be $300 plus any needed parts, so add to that $100 for a new gasket, $250 for the chrome strip and $30 for the spring clips needed to convert from the 67 to 69 style and I'm at...

Thinking about a different mounting for my windshield, doing more like newer cars are done, that will mean increasing the size of the pinch weld, wondering if it could be glued instead of welded. This is a discullion on another thread.

Anyone use any of this. http://3mcollision.com/products/adhesives/adhesives-products/3m-panel-bonding-adhesive-38315.html

Help please

Fabbr, the pictures with maybe a ruler laying across would be great. I am not near smart enough to know if this going to work out that is why I'm talking a guy that specializes in doing glass work on Hot Rods and customs. Also if the glass ever needs to come out he will be doing it. Thanks a bunch

Hi all, working on my 67 Dart Retro-restro and am starting to look at the replacement of front and rear winshields. I am not going the traditional restroration route with new gaskets and clips and chrome trim. I want to go with a more modern aproach with the urathane seal strip and the black...

No matter how bad you feel in the short term with your knee, rest assured it will get better with time. Best advice I got (had them both replace at the same time 5 years ago) was to treat your physical therapy like a job. Welcome back on the form.

I have found a 67 Dart at a junk yard. I can go cut the rear wheel wells out to replace the ones in my Dart. My car had the trunk springs already out from the previous owner along with one of the spring bracket being removed on the passenger side, so I have no clue how to remove the...
