Yeah I would like to get a few AMD panels, just the shipping makes it hard. I'm using paint stripper and clean and strip discs.

I've also started cutting out rust and previous shitty work on the body. The bludgers had just slapped a sheet of steel over the top of a rusted panel and brazed it on there. Anyway took it off to find more rust underneath.

So I'm finally back on the build after a long hiatus due to divorce etc. I got my carbs back, end up a little more expensive but came up pretty nice.

So I've stripped it back and have found some old repairs. Made a tape template and bent up a new piece to go in. Cut that piece out and found that some grub had just stuck a piece of metal over the top of the old rusted bit. Man was that an absolute pain to remove. Found more rust behind it so I...

Th Cheers, got a Mig just need some dollies I guess. Yeah Ive done under the wheel arches so they are fine, just the curves in this panel worry me a little.

Bloody hell I hope not! Haha

Yeah I will clean more off this week and post some more pics. Was more asking what sort of tools, dollies etc.

Hey fellas just about to get back started on my project and gonna get cracking with the panel work. Looking for advice on what sort of tools I would need plus what way to go about do a job like this. It's on a 69 Coronet. In front of the rear left wheel one of the POs has done some dodgy work...

Cheers for the info. Is there any good info or guides to remove and replace those guides if with? I can't seem to find much

Now that I have the heads torn down, can I soak them in vinegar? I've had really good results with cleaning parts with a vinegar soak.

Looks like some porting done in the intakes. The exhaust valves look rooted. Quite a bit of oil around the intake valves, is that normal?

Bought a valve spring compressor but its worthless. So I ended up making one that actually worked ok. That's the worst of the valves. Only 2 of the valves had a shim between the spring and the head. Are they all meant to have one?

Cheers mate. Good eye! Here's another few pics. So I could possibly use the springs again if going well. Does the yellow and blue markings signify anything? The piston in this pic is at TDC. Looks a long way down? Oil in one of the intakes. Would that be that part of the head gasket that was...

Thanks for the info! I will give the solvent test a crack.

Photos of head and block. Does everything look stock?
