That is how we…[Read more]

 Jim, I took mine apart and used a torch to bend them to where i was comfortable about a 1/2 left on the clutch and the same with the gas to the right and moved it up about an inch,   Good Luck Dan

 Larry I think that type of paint would look good on our cars with all the rounded lines it would change color at every angle I had A Mustang painted like that at that time only Cobra’s could be painted that type of paint from Ford and hard to imposable to get on the out side. Dan

 That would work ,muriatic acid would also , that is my rust remover of many years but a little tricky to work with   Dan

 James , good art that is what  i was thinking on that line, Dremel drills are to slow and i am not that steady that is why i think a radial arm saw would work better for me. But a Rotozip would work . The car shows are cool all types are there for sale  and show .

  James ,, that is a good idea too I figured I would try this in the winter not the driving season,, I was thinking cutting from the back side, at the high to the low side  of the fake louvers following the center line . when on the car, venting to the out side I don’t think i would sand  but use a cut disc saw blade no teeth and plenty of wat…[Read more]
