    Old paint, total strip or sand, spray&pray?

    At least the previous owner tried to do something constructive. Maybe. LoL I was thinking some leftover window screen scraps and a gallon of bondo should just about cover it. Lmao I am leaning towards spending some quality time with the dustless blaster and then we will know for certain what...

    A few pics that show the mild rust. The roof shots are the driver's side. They really show how much of the paint is baked off.

    I need to pull the cowl and see how many rotten leaves are composting in there. Florida live oaks are the worst. The leaves are acidic and take forever to decompose. An old guy (he was 80 in the 7os) paid me to paint the underside of his car with old motor oil in the fall.

    Hahaha! There are actually some rust holes where paimt scratches were left unattended. A hole under the pass door handle, bottom of ds rear door, bottom of the quarter on ds, but nothing horrendous.

    I sold two sets of these in 1991/92. They never balanced. One of the sets jad pink painted centers.

    I probably will do the roof and the window jams. I need one window and all new seals.

    Old paint, total strip or sand, spray&pray?

    The timing was off on the flash-off between primer and paint, plus they had just switched to low voc materials. Once they found out what was wrong, they did nothing! Cover it under warranty. The same or similar problem with the base and clearcoat except they were chemically incompatible. Good...

    Old paint, total strip or sand, spray&pray?

    I am leaning towards staying two tone grey and black but using the gunmetal grey metallic and whatever the paint code is for a black 87 GTA. That way the truck will match both GTAs and if I put gold Jeep cross lace wheels on the car trailer.....

    Old paint, total strip or sand, spray&pray?

    You all know how these things snowball, scratch an itch and all of a sudden it is major surgery! The paint I have is single stage enamel. Easy peasy to shoot but obviously not a final solution. I do have some epoxy primer and other various leftovers. The idea of doing body work and sanding an...

    What did you replace factory radio with?

    The faceplate is warped from being baked by the Florida sun so every time you touch it, the power goes off. It was stuck on a bro country station and the cd player doesnt work. I used the remote to get it to an 80s pop channel for background noise. I have been using a portable speaker for my phone

    Rusty screws, wait, that sounds like a drink! LoL Just not what I would call quality craftmanship.

    Old paint, total strip or sand, spray&pray?

    My Suburban was repainted under prigram in 1990. Of course, the paint is coming off again. The clearcoat is falling off in sheets and the roof is sun baked to the primer. I have a gallon of gun metal grey metallic, the Trans Am GTA color, and could get it sealed from the elements. My question...

    Oil pan gasket leak *SOLVED*

    I took an oil pan off a 1 piece rear main seal block recently. The owner had an oil leak since the rebuild. He was replacing the ebay chrome 7qt with a Milodon 7qt non-chrome unit. I found some old gasket spacer rings from a previous gasket under the gasket at the rear main seal. So there was...
