    another reason for face shields when grinding

    I've got all of the grinding wheel/wire wheel scars on my hands and I've taken hot slag in lots of places, when a piece gets INSIDE a fire resistant jacket sleeve it just bounces around instead of burningthrough and falling out. Then there was the time that I was torching some holes overhead and...

    paint question

    I use rustoleum all the time on sculptures I do and you can mix enamel to achieve whatever color you want. The flat and gloss will be fine, it would take a lot of the gloss to overcome the flat, but mixed they do have a nice look. If you are wanting a powder blue I would just add SMALL amts of...

    to paint or not to paint?

    por 15 does make a clear for bare metal that can be brushed or sprayed. It doesn't need to be topcoated. I have used it on a few sculptures I have done and it works well, as far as giong over rust I don't know if it will kill rust but I took the leftovers I had and brushed it on a 31 coupe body...

    would you do it

    I had my dads 69 Javelin for a while, and my sister-in-law was on the film crew for a while, so I tried to get my family to nominate it for that show. Then it came out that the cars are thrown together for the reveal, then they keep the car for a complete rebuild again that isn't rushed. After...

    What have you done that's STUPID?

    Another time I was building a 1950 willys wagon and using a 76 Ramcharger as a donor vehicle. I was going to use the part of the firewall that mounted the brakes and column and such, the dash was all out and I wrapped myself up around the steering wheel with my trusty torch to finish cutting...

    What have you done that's STUPID?

    I was in the process of resurrecting my dads 69 Javelin and had gotten it started with the help of starting fluid among other things. I'm leaning in with one hand on the upper radiator hose working the throttle when the biggest damn black widow I've ever seen crawled around the hose by my hand...

    four wheel drive rat rod?????

    Jeff I need to make it out there to see you sometime. I haven't found many pics , but I am leaning pretty heavily toward making it 4x4. It all depends on what parts I can scare up. It is all still on the drawing board for another few months anyway.

    Shifter knobs

    If I were you I would PM Bonehead, he makes some killer stuff. I could fab something up for you depends on what you want. Or look around at sales or e-bay and find some crazy thing you like and make it a personal statement. A buddy of mine just bought a Pabst blue ribbon tap handle off of e-bay...

    dash help..please

    yeah I agree, I would section the grill. Overall the look might be better because it will keep the proportions of the sides matching. At least the lines on the grill are vertical not horizontal. that would be a pain.
