Since I am usually looking at the forum at around 2 or 3am I see the spam before it gets removed. And no, I have never fallen for the clickbait. It seems like the last few weeks are being inundated by "foreign bride" or sex spammers. They are always yanked by the next day. And I do hit the...

"Supercar" from the early 1960's Filmed in Supermarionation. Hardest to find of any of the series of British Marionette flying vehicles that include Thunderbirds, Fireball XL-5, and Stingray. The show lasted two seasons and the car actually went into space to destroy a Communist Hydrogen Bomb...

Really turned out great! And it looks like the paint job that was last done, was done pretty well too. It really perfected to an "as new" look, or maybe even better. With those cloth seats my biggest worry would have been mold or worse, mice damage.

The most time consuming step for me is taping. I have probably spent over an hour taping up a car with rough plastic trim (the kind that grabs hold of polish or wax and won't ever let go). And I have tried paper tape, green tape, blue tape, plastic tape, and even 1 inch duct tape. They all...

Actually not a bird bomb at all. Some kid let his Fudgsicle melt on your roof and run down the side.

I wouldn't have believed that the finish could be improved that much. I would have been ready to recommend a good painter rather than a correction. Amazing level of improvement!

What is the stuff called? I looked up AG Air freshener and nothing showed up. I still have a big bottle of Stripper Scent. I think it will outlive me.

That might be a nice way of seeing cars that you haven't seen before. My only gripe is that it is still during super humid season. Would be nicer if it was pushed back until sometime in November. Maybe the leaves would be changing too.

Except for the wheels I almost consider Iron-X as a use once product. When the car is new or the first time you work on it. After getting rid of the rail dust I never had the little red spots come back. The five liter jug I bought has (so far) been plenty for the last three years.

I went with these. But pay no attention to the price. I found that salvage yard that handles some of Costco's dent and scratch stuff brings it to the TRW swap meet in Redondo Beach. I got seven of them for $80.00 each. I was able to "bodywork" the dents out without too much trouble. Biggest...

They should advertise this product on "Plenty of Swirls"

I have some Collinite that is at least 15 years old. maybe as old as 20+ It has sat on shelf in my house all that time. Still looks, smells, and works the same as a new bottle. And that goes for 845, 476s, and Marque D' Elegance. They were all sitting on the same shelf. Summer high temps are in...

Before I start I check the resting battery voltage. If it is under 12.4 I consider the battery to be on it's way out and it won't have very much reserve power. I then put a battery tender on it and leave it on as long as I have the vehicle. But if the battery is under 12 volts it's either been...

13 years of wear and tear gone in an (almost) instant. :buffing: I really love that blue. It always looks good, and when it's in perfect condition it looks great :dblthumb2:

I pressure wash my trash cans once in a while. But I don't follow through with "perfecting the finish"

When the new customer has made an appointment I take a powerful tranquilizer one hour before they arrive. Since I'm old school I prefer the old standard, Diazepam (Valium) That is what I do to prepare for a customer.

I saw one once with a split in the side of the tube at the top. It was just sucking air, no soap was ever getting up to the head. Pull the plastic tube off and turn it around, if it now pulls soap up the tube is defective and you should send it back. Or maybe the mfg can just send you a new...

That "Biff" really know his stuff. Ask Biff next time you have to do an old single stage paint car. He'll bring it "Back to the Future" with good old #7

Go to Walmart and get a few Raid Fumigators. They are an actual smoke bomb and self generate heat to produce the smoke. The smoke gets in into every nook and cranny. Kills everything. Here is how to use them. Roll down all the windows in the car. Place a metal baking sheet on the front floor...

Whenever I want to add a picture i just find it on my desktop and drag it into the provided spot when posting. I have always found the pictures I want to use and put them on my desktop before I start to try and post. It just makes it easier for me to find.
