I can't say it's 100% accurate if you're **** about your resto correctness, but a couple cans of SEM Trim Black will handle all of your tasks that are semi-gloss or satiny finish. SEM Trim Gloss Black for anything glossy. It sprays very nicely on any hard, non-porous surface; metals or plastics...

That just gave me an idea...I have several kinds of aluminum countersunk washers. I could simply sand the filled-in holes flat and use these on top of the column cover when it bolts back on. That way, there'd be almost no stress placed on the cover screw holes.

Nice work. Stainless steel is great because it can be fine sanded and buffed/polished...like an automotive clearcoat, it's just a much harder material. It's easier to work with than anodized aluminum, at least. That needs to be stripped of anodizing before you can polish it up.

I see multiple votes for a 1973 Monaco, I'd also take one of those in a 2-door...but I'd go for a 1973 Gremlin X first:

Since I already own a 1986 Buick GN, that pretty much covers any GM product I'd want to own...I'd love a 1970 Ford Torino Cobra, an AMC Gremlin or a 1975 Holden Torana.

I might have a similar issue with my blower motor. I restored the heater box years ago before body & paint got done, and I could swear by these pics that I had a good ground through the new paint, there's one of those knurled washers that bite in...but my fan doesn't work at any speed. Might...

Welcome from Alberta, Canada. Are you planning to add a B-Body to your garage?

Welcome from Alberta! Nice Charger.

It hurts, but it's so good. John Cougar said it best.

Took a few baby steps...my steering column cover has all four holes cracked. The prices people are asking for this little piece of plastic are ludicrous, so I'll try to repair it with epoxy. It should be at least as strong as the original weak plastic. I started by globbing 5-minute epoxy over...

True die-hard maskers would have shoulder belts, too.

Nobody's up for a healthy bowl of Fiber One? My dad used to eat it, he called it Mouse Turds. If you need that much fiber, try a bowl of raw twine.

"Oat Groats" sounds like something a goat yakked up...

Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch. The only time I got to try and enjoy it was whenever I visited the USA because it's not available in Canada. I loved it because it's not crazy sweet and has by far the best peanut butter flavor. I've tried the Reese's cereal but it's not even close. For a limited...

When I work on my cars, my language is so colorful, it could be considered woke.
