Found this on Facebook and thought I’d share it. I’ve wanted to do something like this for a long time, and this is the closest to what I have in...
It IS pricey, but I got in in my car and really like it The only issue I had is as soon as any of the sticky side touches anything, it doesn’t...
Thanks (everyone) for the advice. I think my biggest mistake was putting too much pressure on the files As it was said- friction=heat And that...
Yessir! I bought a lead body kit from Eastwood with 2 flat files, a “flexible body file holder” and a “half round” file/handle, and I even came...
Letting up my pressure on the files have definitely made a difference! They still get clogged, but not like they were Thank you! Sent from my...
What kind of chalk do you use? The only thing that comes to mind is the blue stuff that you squirt into a “chalk line” for house projects Sent...
I’m doing some lead bodywork on my car, and the lead keeps clogging up my files. I’ve thought of spraying the files with WD-40 or Teflon spray,...
Their post on Facebook said their “communications will be down for a while” They also asked for patience while they get to access the building. I...
Yeah. The sheet i was given before I left gave a really good description. And I have tons of pics of the parts as I made them, cuz I was so proud...
[IMG] Here’s the photo Advanced posted to their page. Looks pretty bad ☹️
I did a quick search and found nothing, but I hope this hasn’t been posted already. I just saw a post on Facebook that made my skin turn pale-...
I’m heading out of Chicago shortly to head there for my first time! I’m so excited. Been wanting to attend this show for a really long time, and...
Yep. I have a 10 pound ECI residual, mounted maybe 2 inches from the port on the master. I actually had a brain fart when I was first working on...
I don’t have a combo valve on the car. When I was purchasing everything from ECI, Mark told me an “extra one” was not needed. He said the master I...
So I got out there and straightened out the depth of the output shaft. I had it out way too far. I rebled the master on the bench. Installed it...
Thanks for the input guys! That link David Gersic posted shows a depth gauge MP Brakes sells. It doesn’t look like it’d be hard to make. I think...
Well, the booster does have an adjustable tip on the end of the output rod. I threaded it out a little, and it definitely had an effect on the...
That was my thought at first, but hoped there might be something I was overlooking. I’m going to pull the master and see if the output rod is...
That’s actually a good question. I don’t know to be honest. I didn’t know any boosters had adjustable output rods. I’m gonna have to pull it and...
I’m trying to make some headway on my car, but this brake pedal has me stumped. I believe I have way too much travel in the pedal. In fact, it’s...
I don't know how that wound up in Texas... but I think that is actually my old album. I recognize the tape on the one side. It was my uncles. I...
Haha It works great to be honest! I have 2 engine stands(real ones) being used as a rotisserie right now for the frame so I could paint it. The...
Thanks for letting me know that! I'll definitely wait overnight now. I'm glad I only did it on stuff that will be hard to see- frame, engine,...
Definitely! I hope these post alright. Forgive the ugly valve covers, dipstick, etc. she needs to be dressed up a bit. I'll hit that this weekend....
Considering I really don't spray often, I am looking at it as exactly that- luck! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Would you still wait overnight even if the tech sheet says you can do it sooner? Normally, I'd let the primer fully cure and scuff it before I...
Yeah. It flowed out and laid down fine. And it looks so damn good right now. And that's why I was on the fence about it. But I agree with you too...
BJR, yeah that's exactly what I did. 4 parts paint to 1 part thinner(but Axalta calls their thinner "basemaker") Sent from my iPhone using The...
So I made a mistake yesterday while spraying my engine and trans, and I am curious to know if anyone else has done this. So I prepped all my...
First off, congrats on the buy! As I am also a 35 Plymouth PJ owner, I thought I'd offer a little help for you with the car. Mine was actually my...
