Two girls who work with my son Dan came down with Covid, so he needed to go and be checked out himself, so , since we live together, I thought it would be best for me to go too. So last Saturday we drove to a testing lab in separate cars and we got tested. Dan was negative, but I came up...

I've been doing a lot of filling on the rpu body I am working on, and have been using Evercoat Rage. Today I needed 5 gallons more of thinner, so I went to my local paint shop. While there, I picked up a gallon of Evercoat Rage ULTRA, 00125, and it is head and shoulders above anything else I...

Ok, here are some pictures from tonight. The body, over the past few weeks, has gotten a couple of coats of Epoxy primer, and after that was scuffed we applied body filler (about 20 times :o) sanded most of that off, and then applied a couple of coats of high build epoxy primer. Most of that...

I haven't been around for a while because, frankly, I have not had much interest in car stuff lately, but wanted to stop in and see how all of you are faring during this Coronavirus issue. I hope everyone is well and staying away from others. I have been fine, but my family pressured me to...

I spoke to Bill today (Gastrick) and he sounds great and is really doing well. So happy to see him beating his health issues. Second subject, we have decided not to take any of our cars to Daytona for the Turkey Run this year, but will go together and just shop at the swap meet. The reason...

For the past couple of days, both of my browsers will not let me log onto RRR. Both come up with a huge warning screen that says the site is corrupted and unsafe. To post this, I had to come in through the back door. Just thought you should know, Bob, in case you do not know already. Don

It's been so long since I posted any updates on my rpu project that I figured I would just start again with a new thread. Over the past year, with health and other issues, I really just let it lay dormant. But I have decided to try to have it on the road for Turkey Run in November, so I am...

:) Hi guys, haven't been around for a while, so I thought I would drop in and see how you all are. This past year, with the heart surgery, etc, has been VERY interesting. Health has been good, but I have some knee surgery coming up, nothing super serious, just old age catching up with me...

We are heading out Wednesday AM for Turkey Run in Daytona...….man, do I need this vacation this year ! :D We have decided to take our 3 Mustangs, instead of our roadsters, and it will be nice to have AC, Stereo, and a roof over our heads for the drive there and back. We always hit the swap...

We have had our Harbor Freight blast cabinet for years, actually this is our second one. The plus is, they are cheap, the minus is, they leak sand like mad. When we bought the second one, we took some time to seal it better than what they give you, but it still leaked. Dust would be all...

Using my sons laptop to type this, so bear with me. I am in cardiac section at hospital, gonna have quadrouple bypass Monday morning.:(. Came here Thursday, not feeling great, they did lotsa tests, 95% blockage in 3 arteries. Can,t complain, had angioplasty 31 years ago, been fine...

A lot of you may know about this one already, but in case you don't........ Like everyone else, I have gone through gallons of Go-Jo and Fast Orange hand cleaner over the years. It works ok, but is getting pricey. My son put me onto something that actually works better than the store bought...

I started this car years ago, but it got pushed into a corner when I got sidetracked building my Mustang. The body originally belonged to my son Dan, who built it from a four door 1929 Ford Murray body. He decided to buy a new Brookville body instead, and he gave me this one. He and I built...

A few years ago, my son Don bought a 2004 Mustang GT in white. My other son, Dan, liked it so much, we flew up to Pennsylvania and he bought a low mileage 2004 Mach I, also white. I kept looking at their cars, and loved them so much, I knew I had to have one myself. So, I found a clean V6...

You know, we car guys are nuts. The other day, when I went to find a good pair of underwear in my drawer, all of them were falling apart. Then it dawned on me that I think nothing of ordering some $1000 part for one of my projects, yet I am too lazy (or cheap) to spring for some decent...

I've always heard that you should never use regular sockets on an impact wrench because they could fracture. But I've done it a million times, used a regular one because it fits better and I was too lazy to get the impact sockets out. Today I was removing the transmission from the 3.8 Mustang...

Living in Florida, cooling a hot rod is always challenging, and I have never skimped when it comes to buying a radiator. I have had one from the Brassworks in my 27 for about 26 years and recently replaced it with a new one from the same company because the original one had just lived a long...

My Son Dan and I are talking about going to this show Saturday: http://www.autogeek.net/detail-fest.html Lots of celebrities, like Christie Lee, and the Munster cars are going to be there. Did I mention Christie Lee was going to be there ? :D Just thought I would mention it in case any of...

Everyone in my family, including my ex wife, has a Mustang, so I felt left out. :o I have been looking for a clean body to put the 351 Windsor I have sitting in the shop into, and finally found this one the other night. [I[/I] It is a 2000 V6 with a 5 speed, and that is coming out really...
