Congrats! I'm so not good with rust, even my rusty 42, you can see nearly everything thats damaged - with these older paint jobs, you have a lot of hide and seek to play with them but... you know what you must do.....

Any 42 buicks or chevys in that yard? Progress is admirable, and I am getting flashbacks to working on my buddys 68 chevy van with that doghouse affair. What kind of sound deadener are you using? I'd also suggest some kind of heat insulation, I remember those doghouses being miserably hot - my buddys van was not so friendly to us bigger, wider gents, in the sense that you kinda lopped over it while trying to find a comfy place to be, I remember one time on a longer drive - it was our band van - that I didn't realize how much heat was being transmitted to my right thigh wile driving the thing, and it was one of those gradual "holy poo poo what is this pain im feeling while driving a van with several dudes and 100s of pounds of gear inside AHHHHHH" kind of moments

bumper looks awesome - its one of those "things" - they look cool without bumpers, so everyone removes them, so you become accustomed to seeing them without, and then when you put them back on they look... cool... with them? It's like seeing an un-chopped Mercury.

Contact Daytona carbs - they will probably have a fix for you, if not some new parts to throw at it to at least rule out a bad thermostatic spring ect Me on the other hand, I just set the chokes to full open, never gets cold enough to warrant using them here. On my A - I removed the whole choke assembly from the 81's and just deal with keeping the idle high for a few minutes before attempting to move, 10/10 neighbors all love me when I take the uncorked A out for a early morning cars and coffee run.. But typically I push it out and a few houses down so I dont disturb lobsterwifex and lobsterbabyx.

I almost bought one of those chemtrail switches, they had jewish space lasers too - I seem to recall that you can get a bank of them too and labeled however you like

I REALLY love the Napa branded 8" headlights - they have a great look to them.  they're not exceptional performers, but they do the trick... I have them in my roadster and obviously my wagon. What I love the best about these is that the NAPA logo is so small, its hard to find. its got a nice pattern. you want the best? https://www.amazon.com/SYLVANIA-Sil...ps%2C109&sr=8-2 I accidentally put these on my 48, and they are the brightest sealed beams I've ever seen. Pure white, beautiful. Years ago we were doing rust abatement on my buddys first gen firebird, we were digging and digging - the first "backer" we found was a tennis ball, kept going, a deflated football, then in smaller sections, golfballs - the car henceforth was known as the "ballsack" LobsterboyX fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Jun 24, 2022 |

PainterofCrap posted:This way qualify as necromancy, it’s been so long… Yup, same - I get kinda bent at night when its about 80 out and start do do something, give up, clean up and go wet my head and sit in front of the fan. You going to paint this the same way/method you did the vert?

fun turn of events - that sale I'm working at has 63 van!   I need to get more pics of it, but its really, REALLY clean - its sitting on some BMW rims that actually look pretty awesome on it - not usually my thing, but it looks pretty cool. - there's not much time to take photos of stuff when I'm there, but they are offering this for around 4k but its highly negotiable. the engines got a bunch of hot rod parts and it comes with a ton of extra engine parts, I think its the 250. it had some shag carpet inside that we ripped out to find a perfectly clean van - theres also some 70s wood paneling inside that is pretty nasty that has to go, but it wouldn't take much to get this going. If I didn't have any cars, I'd be all over it. they cut a sunroof in to it, and theres a vent, they also filled in the little triangular window right behind the door - again, not my thing, but its actually kinda cool lookin. I'll grab more photos in the coming week
