yeah thats the first thing im gonna do after fixing that spot,is hqave them reseal the windshield,yeah the black stuff is much better,it looks like whoever did itjust used silicone its clear,but yeah i figured it was leaking there thats why it rusted.oh well anothere job to add to my huge list,it this rate my car will never be ready by spring.

 

Its tough to put a date on it. Unless money isn't an issue, as well as time. I was golden before my family came along. I would wrench on my hotrod day and night. If it was down I had someone pick me up for work until I got it right. When I lived at home money wasn't an issue either. I worked second shift, I would wake up and go over to the speed shop "Wizards" sit and bench race. Then spend my next pay check before it came.

Ahh, the good times. "go see the wizard, ask him for some *****." We all had tee shirts.

 

thats a good story where is wizard at is it still there,yeah inmy younger days when i had my 454 chevelle,i would work on it day and night,was the fastest thing around,but i think my new old camaro will have it beat we will see,im seriously thinking about putting in a 3 speed manual,hope it can hold up to my camaro,i can get it free from my younger brother.thats what i had in my chevelle

 

No the shop got closed. There was a competing shop down the road that had a guys car for five years without finishing it. The guy sued and brought wizard in to testify on his behalf. We it blew up in wizards face when the judge asked him for his business license. Closed the doors and haven't been back since. Those were good days. Wizard, Steve Morris Racing, and APS speed shop were all within 3 miles of each other on the same road.

 

wow thats awesome,i only have one engine builder in my town is also my best freind remember when he had 600 hp chevette at 17 years old,he drag raced it,now he races sprint cars

 

Ah the stories of when we were younger with more time, and money, and energy...

We must do with what we have now.. Keep at working on your car. It is therapy...

My Car slept like Rumplestilskin for years while everyday life took priority..

Keep at it... We are never done....

I did a bunch of work years ago, and now some more work years later...

So don't worry if it takes time, or you are not done...we never are... Go man go....

 

that is true,god i love them wheels on ur car,sweet.yep keep at it its never done,and i will have mine for a hundred years.little by little it will be my unique little car,love my camaro more than the wife,hahaha.

 

need to find some good paint stripper that doesnt smell to bad,i hate laquer paint it only has 1 coat of paint its the original paint,but that laquer is so thick,and clogs the sandpaper.

 

If it doesn't smell bad it doesn't work well in my book. That is my rule of thumb. Too many products have been neutered by the EPA as being bad for our heath. Well put a warning label on and let me decide if I want to use it or not.

I use Aircraft Stripper. It is violent chit. It will burn your skin, lungs, and eyes. If its used properly, like out doors. It works perfectly. Just were rubber gloves and be sure to use some type of drop cloth to catch the scrapings. I did my fender on saw horses sitting on broken down cardboard boxes.

 

Shhhhh.... Don't tell the wife that...

Thanks about the Wheels....I went Crazy.
