From the info I gathered, this happened 2-3 weeks ago and has been outside whenever it wasn't being worked on. I'm not sure how long this would take to gas out, but I would think it would be showing some signs of improvement by now. Even if some shrinkage (lol Seinfeld pun) occurs, it's still...

Well, it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, but I was able to improve on it to the point where if you're not looking for it, you'll never see it. The customer is happy, the shop is happy, I'm happy. I know I haven't been posting here lately, but I'm so very thankful I have a community at my...

This happened at a performance shop, they have all kinds of specialty fluids for transmissions, engines, brakes, coolants etc. - our best guess is automatic transmission fluid from a trams am that has had this car under it when they close up for the night. Update: I put my "big boy pants" on...

Here's one last pic: My photobucket app keeps crashing and it's preventing me from uploading anything else.

Thanks for the advice so far, fellas!!! It is much appreciated!!! I have a couple more pics on the way to show the damage. The color is very elusive thru a cell phone's camera lens but it had definitely affected the clear in a bad way. I would attempt sanding, I think it would make quite a...

I've tried soap and water, and I've been told that solvent ha already been attempted although I may back up and try that for myself. I got a couple of the best pics I could with my phone so you can see what I'm talking about, it seems as if some of the foreign material actually absorbed into...

Hey guys, I have a car in front of me, that, while being serviced at a shop, had some type of blue-ish fluid run down the hood(possibly oil or hydraulic fluid). The clear appears to be stained, and slightly raised. A cutting attempt has been made with zero noticable difference and I'm...

I happen to love the old car smell. Its something you can't recreate and you can't buy it. That smell tells the story of the car - where it's been, who's owned it, I'd cherish that fantastic quality only age can provide. But.... if you don't feel like I do, your only real permanent solution is...

This is crow's feet. They're cracks in the upper layers of the paint job, but sometimes they can even expose primer. Sanding/prepping/painting the panels is the only way to properly repair them.

Wow there's a lot of factors here. This could be Axle (CV joint) Bearing Inner/outer tie rod Upper/lower ball joint Strut Check axle, tie rod end and ball joint boots for tears or places where grease is leaking from, and if they look flat and deflated, but are serviceable, try greasing them...

They covered Paul Dalton in the mid 2000's. He's quite simply a legend. Paul Dalton Not what you're looking for?

Wiggles don't need a new love seat. Wiggles needs a new hobby.

I've heard it argued that the ability to read minds is the next step in human evolution. This forum is starting to prove it to me :) I had some PO85RD that refused to diminish a couple nights ago. Started out fine, but a cold front shoved its way through with high winds (keeping the panels...

Tuscarora Dave's got it pretty well wrapped up. Buddy of mine has a Chevelle that has been a work in progress for over two years now as a nut and bolt resto-mod. Frame, engine, suspension, brakes and most of the interior have all be done for a while. The shell has been on a rotisserie with...

I know by your posts, examples of your work, and your attitude that you know what you're doing and this will turn out to your advantage, but it doesn't stop me from being glad I'm not detailing this monstrosity. Can't help but wonder, "is this the episode of Tuscarora Dave's where the cleaning...

Why not both? Compound Boost FTW

Hennessey has a shady past, but I'm really glad he's cleaned up his act. His shop is now producing some of the biggest street legal horsepower numbers coming out of Texas, and even has his own widebody, twin-turbo V8 production car based off the Lotus Elise/Exige. This is the video from the...

Jeeeeez Bobby.... If you can't kill it make it wish it was dead, right? Lmao!!!!

I like it, best thing about it is the insulation, which for me means on a hot day, my few bottles of polish don't boil in the 100+ degrees of heat. Most of the time even after several hours in my trunk, they're still "room temperature. Downside is, the plastic liner separated from the top after...
