    How much paint?

    all paint compamnies offer Victory Red. Find a company that sells paint near you and talk to them and read the tech sheets. A good jobber will have a volume estimator in their computer for each product. The products, the gun, the gun setup and the painter will greatly vary the amount of each...

    Line X Paint

    I have used alot of Raptor in truck beds where it belongs. Adding their grit or even silca sand to the last coat makes it look better. I have never liked it on the outside of a truck, even worse of it's tinted. A good way to make a decent truck look redneck.

    Factory 5 Spoke Wheels

    try it first with peel paint, stand back and look at it you will be surprised. If you don't like it peel it off. Alot smarter than modifying a rim. I am doing a set of alloys of a different style now and have done many before to hide details.

    Towing Long Distance

    Almost 40 years with two car trailers with surge brakes. Rebuilding one this winter and putting on new surge. You won't have any issues with surge brakes. There are electric or mechanical backing provisions. You can back them slowly without them if it is not uphill. Always look at truck braking...

    Holley Classic Bumpers?

    check with your local Keystone auto body supply store. They are in various cities nationwide. You can save shipping and look it over before you walk out. I buy thousands of dollars a year from Keystone.

    Tbi carb swap

    If you have to turn your distributor that far it is not in correctly. The piston is a TDC twice in every cycle, it needs to be on the compression stroke TDC. Also, the rotor has to face #1 on the cap, not #1 cylinder. You didn't specify which #1, I recently had someone try to tell me it was #1...

    Interior heat problem?!

    Flush your entire cooling system including removing the block drains. I had alot of rust in the bottom of the block that was stirred up from a coolant change and plugged the heater core. Amazing how much crap came out of block drains and knock sensor

    Paint suggestions

    You cannot use factory paint, it is not really usable outside of factory equipment. You can buy refinish color that will match the factory color. By match I mean blendable match, not panel paint. Take your truck to a local paint supply store or body shop so they can use a variant deck or camera...

    A little side project.... trash can

    first shop I worked in for 10 years had only these barrels for garbage. Layers of paint on them from doing double duty as paint stands. We dumped them into the garbage truck every week when he came.

    Engine off center

    offset to provide clearance for steering box, steering shaft, brake booster or diff. Chev engines were offset back into the 60's depending on the engine/options combination.

    Where to get interior paint??

    a dealer can run the last 8 of your VIN and tell you the rpo code. USe only SEM for interior paint, clean, clean, and clean. When you think you have it clean, clean again. Use solvent and water cleaners, then prep as SEM recommends.

    Power Ports

    I am installing this style right now, stopped for lunch Making a custom mount to go in the ashtray of an old car. Use 1 1/8" step bit to drill the hole. USB C charges alot faster then USB, I also like the voltmeter since I am planning a conventional two gauge setup for oil and temp. I also like...

    Iphone direct to speakers with no radio

    Instead of going to the radio like the instructions say, go to the input of an amp? Never thought of that. I have similar devices in a Chevelle and planned to add them to a couple 400's but they all have radios. Those feed into the antenna jack. I haven't had an amp since the 80's, this looks...

    Iphone direct to speakers with no radio

    Car question. I don't want to run a car radio, gauges will occupy that spot for better legroom. Is there a Bluetooth driver that will receive the Bluetooth signal from the phone and send to conventionally wired speakers? I am aware of Bluetooth speakers, have one in my shop don't want that in...

    Rim Paint Color Questions

    GM has a position statement on refinishing aluminum wheels. I did a couple sawblades with the 2 WA numbers listed and used ceramic clear to see how they would look. The sparkle silver is brighter. Strip, glass bead, epoxy primer, case, clear.
