Should put the taillight bulbs on a momentary switch that closes when the tailgate is down and the lights come on and turn off with gate up. Looks cool! I just started looking at automotive furniture as something to get into doing in the near future.

I sold the header and exhaust off that I had purchased as I'm going to be going custom for that but I have everything else. I still have to get pistons (Wiseco 12:1) and oversize valves then it's a matter of machine work, bearings, and seals then reassembly. Then I have to get the ITB setup...

IF you run a ZX2 you can pull a rear sway bar from an ****** GT because it runs a 21mm in the rear compared to the ZX2 running a 13mm. ZX2 also had a S/R version in 99 and 2000 that came with performance stuff from the factory. It is up one class as far as autox is concerened from what I read...

Neons do good... Escorts and ZX2s do as good depending on the driver... if you're a Ford guy get an ****** or ZX2 for a few hundred. I've dropped way to much into my ZX2 and am still going (Think its up to about 12k worth of parts, not what I paid tho) I'm completely jealous of the shop, I do...

You don't have lawyers in your area that don't require payment unless you win? They don't take on cases they don't think can be won, and if they do think it can be won in your favor, they build one hell of a case. You think the township is going to want to put a bunch of money up for fighting...

Put a bunch of lights on one of those high amp electric sitches/relays or whatever they are (magnetic switch), nice and audible. Light it up bright and get a prison siren mounted on the top of the shop. Really scare anybody that trespasses and ALL the neighbors for miles will be up. In all...

I've heard you don't want to use veg oil because it will go bad over time. I heard that mineral oil is one of the easiest to locate and one of the more preferred then tung oil is even better. Mineral gives a dull finish but tung will give it a satin and seals better. Mineral oil isn't a sealant...

Those amish know whats up.

I'm interested... otherwise I wouldn't have gotten the e-mail notification from being subscribed!

The Challenger had body/paint done approx 10 years ago at a local Ford dealer that did a hack job at that. Paint was bridged from the fender to the trim which made it impossible to remove. The guy just wanted a quick fix so it wouldn't be "as" noticeable that it was damaged and he plans on a...

The following is the procedure I use to get headlights as clear as new, lasts approximatelly year till they start dulling more. The "best" way to avoid dulling again would be stop at the 800 grit step and get somebody to spray a good automotive clear with a good UV rating. Tools needed: Foam...

I'd post pics of the Cobalt I'm working on but its way to much to show everything that has been changed along with splicing the stock bumers together with an aftermarket kit that is said to fit but was way off.

The edges that were chipped bad were just a quick hammer/dolly work from the bottom up. The spot that was raised from the cap left on the air filter took quite a bit of time for hammer and dolly. I messed with it for about 20 minutes before I touched the paint so I could use the gloss as a guide...
