So: Liquid Wrench= +1 for getting old masking tape to let go. But Goof Off= +10. Keep it away from your paint though.

John,

Just a thought. Check the right engine case half along the top splitline. If it’s a pancake/suitcase engine (squareback, notchback, fastback) Type 3 I believe, the number may be stamped there. I had one come out of a beetle like that where the PO had swapped the engine with what was available to him at the time.

Roy, How about posting a picture of your shirt so we can see how it looks. Better yet, this is your chance to do a little modeling for the group.

Bill, I just now paypaled you for a badge with p-clip. Car is almost done so it’s time for a badge to put on the new badge bar.

They are mighty. I had no idea they were still used as fleet cars of any kind.

OK, Picture this: Came back from Home Depot yesterday with a little through-bolt and an brass acorn nut, plus a spacer, to complete my wiper motor installation. You’ll recall I had everything working, the wires all routed, but was missing that last bolt that keeps the new wiper motor from twisting itself on the shaft.Went to install the new bolt.…[Read more]

I usually wear a “large” but their size chart said that I should order “medium”. Sheri said to order a large. I did and am glad. The sizes are pretty much true to what…[Read more]

I used a can of paint designed for wood stoves you can get many different colors if you go to a stove shop. Home depot only has black. I even painted the muffler
ray10 replied to the topic Paint Question in the forum General Discussion 13 years, 3 months ago
