Base coat over different color primers will make them darker or lighter depending on what you are looking for. Can not use gray primer on part of the car after using black in the first place on part of the car. Using candys is a totally different world when painting. Then they are over the top...

Used Matrix paint PPG. Started with a black primer epoxy. Before the car was done, they did not make the black primer anymore. Had to order black primer from east wood. Two coats of base coat. One coat of color blender with mini flake in it and one coat to seal it then three coats of clear...

Like I thought of putting the broken arrow down the side of my car when painting it. Glad I did not do it. Also had the thought of putting the stripe around the back area like you posted. Glad I did not do that also. Thanks for giving us an add thought to discuss.

So, confused. Never saw that on a 69 runner. Maybe a special order when ordering the car. Option!!!!!

Think that is on the 71 through 73 runners. Know it was on the supper bee. in 68-73 cars. With the bee in the circle. But I could be wrong. Maybe someone else will chime in.

I guess there is a difference between being a hoarder and keeping sensible parts. I am cleaning up my garage and find half-filled five-gallon buckets. Some have paint some have hydraulic oil or other products. So, don't know how long I have had them, and they are all going. Found part of a...

So, to restore the dash frame you can't pull the vin tag. I did and ordered the proper rivets. So, I guess I am an outlaw. LOL. Replaced a lot of sheet metal and did not punch the body numbers on any of it. Thought of doing the rain gutters for trunk area. Have kept the original ones was going...

You should stay busy. Lots of car owner don't work on their cars them self's. They may not have the tools or shop to work on them. I do all my own work so can save money that way. But also, am retired and have plenty of time on my hands. Some nice-looking cars on your forum. I have been looking...

So, everyone is talking carbs. What fuel are you running. What fuel pump is on the car. On my 383 have a 650 Holley. It wanted to buck when I squared my jets 80 80. Primary and secondary. So ended up with 74's on primary and 76 on the metering block now it runs smooth as silk. 6.5 power valve...

What it is worth is up to the buyer. If it where me don't think the price is right. Way too much money for what. A shell. That looks to need everything.

Been told to make sure the rad is grounded to stop electroless. Thanks for all the info. Now the waiting game for delivery.

Someone will tell us but if I am not wrong you need about 13hundred Rpm for an Automatic transmission. At Idel. Just like with A/C car need a little more Idel RPM.

How does it work when you put it in gear. You may have to raise the Idel for the auto trans.

Plenty of room nothing is hitting there. Was running coolant with corrosion inhibitors also. Just figure it is a piece of junk. Like all the other aftermarket parts. Could be I was trying to get out cheap and save money. Going with an Aluminum rad. now.

So. I bought a 26 rad. for the runner from Roseville two years ago the car only has 4000 miles since restore. Now the bottom tank has a crack in it and another spot leaking. There are no more radiator shops around that fix them. I am sick of the junk we are being sold. There is no warranty on it...

I settled for a Pioneer. Bought from wall mart. AM FM plus disc player. Bought a new radio bezel and was able to cut that to fit just fine. I am not purest when it came to the radio. It fit the original hole like a glove. Wish you luck on the install.

So here is what I had to do is replace my fuel pump with a Holley one. That darn pump I bought brand new looked like the original one. I was looking for original look for the purest. The Holley is a manual pump and is rebuildable. Not cheap. Was doing the same thing running out of fuel to the...

Grate to land that car. So hard to find them in any condition. Have fun and know you will be working on it to fix what is needed.

Think mine came on the wire when I bought it. Just might try part's mix. They have had somethings I was not able to find.

If I am not wrong the U joint on a 489 takes a bigger one than what I have on my 8 3/4 now. So, I know that I need to have one built to work on the swap. Where to get the rite yoke. For the drive shaft.
