    Interior paint question

    Thanks for the replies guys! I am trying to do everything the right way so I don't have to re-do anything 5-10 years down the road.

    Yes, sorry that wasn't clear, it is the metal.

    Interior paint question

    I'm getting ready to paint my interior. I'm going to use the rattle can paint from NPD. The existing paint on the doors and dash is in good condition, doesn't appear to have any rust or anything behind it. Do I need to strip it all down to bare metal or can I just scuff it up and spray it?

    Tire Age: Safety Hazard - Excessive Paranoia - or Sales Promo

    I had an old Pathfinder several years ago. It had BFG All Terrain tires that were about 6-7 years old. One day I came out and had a flat, the side wall had cracked from dry rot. Still plenty of tread left on them but I replaced all 4 for safety's sake.

    Fender Lips

    Have you guys seen the new fender lip rolling tool from Eastwood? Eastwood Fender Finisher Rolling Tool It pinches the lip rather than rolling, seems like it would take more time but it's a ton cheaper than their regular rolling tool. What are your thoughts? Worth a shot?

    New gas tank suggestions please

    Sorry to hear about the wreck, that sucks! Hope you're ok. If a fuel cell is out of the budget, have you thought about a stock tank with tank armor or fabricating your own steel cover? Not sure if it provides more peace of mind over safety but it seems like a good concept. Here's a link...

    Show me your custom steering wheel . . .

    I have the 13 1/2" version of what pyroman has and like it. The only thing is the horn button is a pain. I had to glue it on to keep it from popping off.

    Overloaded Starter Solenoid Post

    This is what I did: http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/5066/img3290txj.jpg It was about $5 or $6 at Advance Auto.

    Overloaded Starter Solenoid Post

    I have this problem too. I got something from Advance Auto in the battery cable section that basically screws onto the existing post and extends it.

    Chrome Trim

    They have tons of small little dings in them I guess accumulated over the years. I took them off to replace my vinyl top so maybe new ones will fit ok for me since I didn't add any paint.

    Chrome Trim

    Do you guy's know of anyone that restores chrome trim? My drip rails are beat up and I really don't want to use new pieces if I can help it, I've heard they don't fit right. Is there anywhere I can send it for getting the dings out and refinishing it?

    Quick steering wheel question..

    I had to super glue the horn button on my Grant wheel. That thing would shoot off when you're least expecting it!

    302 Block

    Thanks guys, I think I'm gonna take a pass on this one.

    302 Block

    Thanks for the advice guys. Any idea how much it would cost (ballpark) to get it hot tanked and checked for cracks? D.Hearne does that mean you don't think its worth $95 if it's a standard early model block?

    302 Block

    I'm going to go look at a 302 block tomorrow and need some advice on what to look for. I know going in to it that it's striped down and sitting outside (for who knows how long). I emailed the seller and they aren't sure what year it's from but are pretty certain that it hasn't had any machine...

    Sub-Frame Connectors

    Can you tell a big difference? Did they remove your fuel line to weld the drivers side?

    Procar Rally and Belts

    I have the Rally's and they did just bolt right in. I am on the shorter side at 5'9" but I have some friends over 6' that have riden in the car and it wasn't a problem for them. Depending on what kind of steering wheel you have it might be tight getting in and out. I have a 13" dia. Grant...
