Okay guys, borrowed this from my neighbor to try my luck at making some dents a bit less. I tried on a motorcycle gas tank as well as a late model car, a 2004 with fairly thin sheet metal. With both, the glue would pull loose bout a soon enough pressure was applied to get the metal flexing out...

Guys, picked up a couple of mid 70's two stroke bikes, Suzuki and Yamaha, for the grandkids to ride. Been many moons since I have messed with any of these and not sure what oil and fuel to oil ratio I need to mix. Both bikes have the automatic oilers bypassed, so I will need to mix the fuel...

Guys, finally got an ultra sonic cleaner on the way here, now , for the fluid choice. I opted for one with a heating element to be used basically for carbs. Been doing a few Edelbrock carbs of late and wondering if there is a cleaner that can restore that shiny , bright look that new Edelbrocks...

Guys, I have very little experience with tuning the Edelbrock carbs and need some understanding. Im taking a used, highly modified 1406 back to stock calibration first and then will proceed to fine tune it for current engine use. Question is, the 1406 calls for metering rod spring to be orange...

Guys, was shooting some single stage solid color, white, and got a bunch of runs. Im sure it was operator error but second time using this new gun, don't like it at all. Any way, I have sanded out runs before on clear coats and used 400 and up , then buffed out. But have never had to sand fresh...

Guys, need to paint the inside of some tailights and want what ever is the brightest I can find. A bit of research suggests a gloss white is the best. I have some ss gloss white and I guess it would hold up. But most OEM makers way back used some sort of silver, maybe with some poly added for...

My car buds ask me today if I would interested in a 67 Fury two door with factory four speed. No motor or trans, looks all complete for salvage yard price. My thoughts were it was prolly a three speed on the column, 318 car, as they said the pedals and all were there. But, I know little about C...

Guys, I wish to move to a temp controlled smoker and would like to hear what you have and what you prefer. I see makers rectech, Traguer, Pit Boss, others and have no clue which one is preferred for up an 8 hour run. Not sure if the electric ones would give the smoke flavor I want , but seems...

Guys, I've done about a half dozen cars now and since Im self taught I consider myself a novice at best. I've worked from advice from others and have made improvements in my efforts. I have used this Mar Hide K 2 primer for my last two projects and have learned to work with it. But, new formulas...

My neighbor wants me to clear coat his old Hondas tank and covers. Metal tank and plastic covers I assume was painted with enamel 50 years ago and added decals. How safe would that be doing that. In the past using some clear coats I used a urethane reducer , and I think now they make some that...

Guys, I was given a small box of new 'old' spark plugs, mostly Autolite , Champion, NGK and a few AC s . Is there an easy way to find out what they fit. I can find several websites that show cross references to other name brand plugs, but not what engines they fit. Hate to just chuck em....

Guys, got my used A833 installed and just began putting some miles on it. Ok, the problems, its quite noisy in 2nd and 3rd gear, and much quieter in 4th. I think that would be cured with new bearings. Ok, it will shift into 2nd, but pops out if not held in. I just swapped in a new Compation Plus...

I made a local swap meet the weekend and a vender had brand new wheels for $75 bucks each. Magnums, rally wheels with sizes of 14, 15 inches to 7, 8 and some 10 inch wide. I was told he buys returns from places like Summit and Jegs. Well, I could see some had a blemish or a spot, a piant run...

Guys, my original 318/ 904 , 43k miles, has begun to hesitate in the 2 to 3 shift. Rpms will pickup in 2nd and hold for a bit and if I kinda pat the throttle I can coax a final shift to 3rd.
