    Fred...what is the deal with the skid plates, If that is what they are???

    Kind of gives it a hint of Plymouth. Not sure what it is about the pic, but it almost looks like it's a picture of a model car in a garage setting.

    You can do a search through a Torrent Engine. Most of this stuff is on-line and you just need a torrent engine to downloaded it and then you can either burn it to a disc or watch right on your PC.

    You beat me by a couple seconds Patrick.....

    The seams and such will react with primers and paint, bubbling and pealing. As well sometimes rust out from those seams since the factory primers and such have been removed.

    I like his handle though....I had a job site foreman who used to call me that...Highpockets...since I'm 6'8" and 275 lbs.... One of the most original "names" I'd ever been called....

    Only way, I've heard, to make the acid bath a sure thing is for the company to also have a neutralizing bath as an after treatment. This is the only true way to get into all the seams and pinch welds etc. Very few companies offer this after treatment, so most that do go with the acid bath, like stated by the others, will have problems down the road. Your better of with a good media blast. I've had a couple cars done over the years, I had them blasted with plastic pellets, and never had a problem.

    I'd be more then happy with that "El Cheapo" on Fernando....I think you did a great job!! I'm going to save this thread so I can come back on it when the time comes for me to paint.

    I'll joint the group of bias.....

    No problem...I have enjoyed where this has gone.... Mine was just to get some oil in the cylinders before I rotated it, the motor is sitting on a dolly on the floor of my garage.
  12. thrashingcows
    .....sure we are all guilty of that to some degree or another.

    Wow that looks like it was taken many moons ago....even the buildings inthe background are almost period looking. Great photo and thank you for sharing it with us!!
  14. thrashingcows
    I think it looks great...should add a nice contrast to the gray engine color. Where did you get the decal?

    Good luck on the title!! I've had all sorts of fun with bringing cars into Canada form the US, last 3 old cars I've bought have come from the US. So I know what a pain it is to get tiles and registration.

    Have you tried these guys....I've had good luck with them in the past. http://www.mrgusa.com/

    Only thought I have about that pre-lube system is...if you have the mechanical unit then your technically adding oil to your crank case every time you do this. From what I could garner from their website the electronic, with accumulator, is the only system that uses the crank case oil to refill and therefore not add to your capacity. Great Idea though!! I had thought of that as well...just need to find a little hand pump that doesn't have any rubber seals. Or if it does figure out if there are seals that won't deteriorate from the acetone, and then replace with those.

    Since the motor I picked up for Fernando has been sitting for a while, I figured I better lube up the cylinders before rotating it. Now obviously due to the flat head design you don't have direct access to the cylinder like a OHV motor. So I had to put on my thinking cap...here is what i came up with... Using my little hand pump oiler I found a piece of flexible small vacuum hose and then squeezed it over the tip. Then a small piece of electrical tape to hold it in place and Viola!! I just feed the hose over the valves and then down into the cylinder, then a few pumps and on to the next cylinder.

    I tend to agree....With a few small upgrades the stock suspension is more then capable of performing as well, if not better, then the Mustang II front suspension. Also the Mustang II suspension originally was never designed for cars as heavy as ours. I personally prefer the original, over engineered Ma'mopar stuff....
  21. thrashingcows
    Yes stay away from lean burn dizzies since they require a feed from the carb and vacuum to adjust timing and such. If it's a n electronic MP unit then it would need the electronic ignition box, coil and ballast, and wiring. Or you could use a points dizzy with a pertronix upgrade as well.

    $2,500......
  23. thrashingcows
    Wow that sounds like a neat modification/upgrade. I'd love to see some before and after pics.
  24. thrashingcows
    Well I wasn't around for the original start of this thread, but the above comment was the best one in the thread.....
  25. thrashingcows
