Well, after almost 7 years of screwing around with this car, it's almost finished. The paint came out pretty good for a first timer; i'm going to give it a few more days until I color sand the clear. Final color choice was C6 Lemans blue. The weather strips and window moldings have been...

I have been having a hard time deciding on a tire/wheel combination for my ’78 project since I started on it. First is the choice between staying with the stock 255/60-15 tires or going to 255/50-17 in order to take full advantage of my suspension mods. I’m aware that the 15” tires are not...

I have finally been getting some things done on the recreation of my ’78. I got the front and rear glass installed yesterday. I hope to have the front clip finished and installed in about another month. [/IMG] Living in a rural area with no local police sure has its benefits when you want...

Sometimes the truth hurts, and this is it. In the coming New Year, 2012, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address will occur on the same day. This is an ironic juxtaposition of events. One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant creature of little...

What should I use to paint my steering column? I’m finishing up the rebuild of my T & T column, and it’s going to need to be re-painted. I’ve got the Corvette America dye, but that’s not going to work on the metal parts of the column. I suppose I could have my auto paint guy mix some up, but...

I’m getting ready to install the engine back into my completed chassis and I need some help with motor mounts for a small block in my 78. When I removed the mounts, I didn’t notice that they were not the same on each side. One of the mounts measures 2-3/4” inside and fits snugly onto the frame...

The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old disease. The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim. It's pronounced "Gonna re-elect 'em," and it is a terrible Obamination. The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving...

.............or not. It's time to install the fuel lined on my new frame now that things are finally starting to go together. I'm trying to decide whether to buy a couple of coils of stainless tubing and bend them up myself or if I should just pop for pre-made lines from one of the catalog...

I’m getting started on the frame repairs and upgrades on my 78. The first task is to replace the rusted section at the typical location – drivers side at the rear kick-up. The frame is straight and square, and I’m pretty clear on the bracing that needs to be installed prior to cutting into...

Hi all, I just wandered over here this weekend and recognized a lot of familiar "faces". Looks like a great forum for us restomod guys. I've got a 78 that i picked up last summer to do a body off rebuild. The car has a good body, new paint and a fairly fresh Goodwrench crate motor. It also...
