Right looks brighter to me too, damn another little project to add to my list….

:lol: So now I also wonder if the glue he would clean with lacquer thinner was that MEK stuff. There was a time when he had a furniture shop and it seemed he was always gluing linoleum or some thin veneer. Also doing all this while smoking a cigar.

Reminds me of my dad, he would use lacquer thinner and other stuff like that all the time with no protective equipment. Who can say if its why he got prostate cancer, but it couldn't have helped.

Phew, I was worried it was gonna be the glove hack that uses a pringles can and sponges!

My first pass was on an 1/8th, don't remember what I ran but I was in a 1981 Accord and they put me against some kind of rail, so I had a great view of a cool car, but it beat the hell out of me. When they expanded to a quarter I found out the old Honda ran 19s. A couple of times that car almost...

Well thats all of my ideas for remote diagnosis.

That model will run with the handheld unplugged, so it shouldn't be the problem unless it has a short affecting other things. If you didn't already, try unplugging the handheld before starting. Also do you hear the fuel pump prime when you key on? I'm assuming you have also tried disconnecting...

My Atomic has been pretty trouble free. But if his ecu is fried and an older generation it may not be worth trying to find a replacement.

Is it the first gen Atomic EFI? Thats what I have on a Chevy. There is a reset option, I forget exactly what it’s called and I can’t go look right now. That error does sound like a connection was severed or the ECU fried.

Which I learned the hard way. I'm still tempted to tell the engineers I know better and change that :D

Same, I went from having a track less than 30 mins away to nothing, now I would have to drive over 2 hours, some times way over, thru Silicon Valley traffic to get to a strip.

Oh ok, just a name I haven't heard in a long time. I remember back in the day when I was thirsty for a foxbody seeing him in some mags, then he made some passes at my local track. Shortly after that in a weird coincidence while talking to a coworker about where I spend my weekends he replies...

Ben Alameda that used to race a foxbody back in the 90s by any chance?

I think its fair after a year to tag the member name in this thread and say tell your side of the story if you want to do biz here in the future.

I guess if you make a top from scratch the biggest tool is a proper sewing machine? I don't disagree about the average guy, I just don't think most of us on this forum are average. Average guys for the most part, don't keep cars this old on the road, they either have extra skills or a lot of...

If you mean Mr Billion, it is on YouTube for free.

That Mr Billion movie may be this weekends movie if I can find it.

Just gonna throw out there that this is who I bought my Coronet from. Really easy to deal with dude who answered my questions and I feel was very honest with the ad.

I’ve thought of doing that and just folding the seams together with glue and just assemble/trim it on the car.

This reminds me, years ago so things may have changed, my brother killed himself with no will behind, just weird notes everywhere. In what seemed like a last minute note near the scene he wrote that his Mustang (a 92 4 banger) goes to me. I had to fill out a probate form at the DMV and wait...
