    American Autowire or diy?

    Actually, I already have an American Autowire kit and I agree, it seems to be a good quality product. My concern is that there is lot of wires/parts that I don´t need. Maybe I just remove the ones I don´t need.

    Keeping original paint / patina?

    I´ve heard / read a lot of good things about that. Some say it should be a mixture of 50% boiled linseed oil and 50% acetone. What do you think about that? Better or worse? Maybe dries faster? Anyway, it starts to remind a car.

    Keeping original paint / patina?

    Ok, here´s a bad picture of the project wagon.Rear wheelwell will have some paint on it.) All I want is to make the paint look pretty much the same whether it´s dry or wet and make that the easiest way possible. A guy at H.A.M.B. suggested Flood Penetrol. Any thoughts?

    Keeping original paint / patina?

    I´m keeping the old paint / patina on my -54 but as you know it needs some sort of protection (aso it would like like **** when partially wet without anything). My first thought was simply to use matt clear coat but I want to do something else, because that´s so obvious :p I´ve read about wd40...

    Front axle + wheel alignment

    Hopefully this is right segment... I replaced all the stuff on the front axle on -54 Chevy and now it´s time to put it together and get it aligned properly. I don´t have the tools for the alignment so I won´t try to do it myself but what I want to do myself is all the preparing work. Man...
