    Penetrol vs. boiled linseed oil

    Been painting residential for 38 years. All the products mentioned most likely have linseed oil as their main component . It looks good on totally rusted objects and lasts 6 months or so depending on weather conditions but it looks like shit over painted areas. Another method is to buy...

    How much HP will a th350 handle? New motor!

    Ask for the whole torque curve from idle. You may be surprised at how weak the engine is off idle where you need most of your power on a truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone know trick to install a new (used) door spring?

    Take it off and put it in a vise. Wind the spring with a crescent wrench then tap it down to lock it in place. Reinstall. Ps. Trace around the bolts before removing so they go back in their original adjusted location. Done deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Noob here looking for help deciding wether to purchase a new crate motor or do an engine re-fresh

    If you ‘re going to do the work I would buy a stock Chevrolet crate engine built specifically for the 1990 Suburban. If you are new at this you do not want major frustration adapting a big block or getting a stroker motor that wont run correctly with your TBI injection or that might not pass...

    Just wondering if anyone has ordered a wood bed kit for their Stepside ?

    I put the oak kit in my 66 gmc and that was the biggest mistake ever. Oak is a highly reactive wood to temperature and moisture changes. It cracks like a mother——er. Epitong is the correct wood for truck beds. I dont know if these kits come with that wood. I havent looked at those kits in 20...

    Ugh!!!!!! Clear Coat Issues

    Its called blushing . Humidity gets trapped between coats and then cannot escape. I dont know what finish you are using but laquer can be fixed by spraying straight thinner or retarder over it to let it escape. Other types of spray gun finishes have slow thinners or retarders for this issue...

    Windsheild Frame Rusted

    The challenge in this area is keeping all dimensions exact. You dont want a problem installing the glass back in . You’d be surprised how little deviation it takes to have an issue. I was worried about my repairs and was surprised to only an 1/8” inch leeway between weatherstrip and glass...
