  1. i found that globular(i think thats what they call it) works realy well on sheet metal. turn the heat and wire speed way down untill it balls up at the tip, then push the moten ball onto the metal. it'll take a bit of tinkering to get it set right, and it'll be slow work, but it won't burn thru if done right. but this is more for making strings than it is tacks. has anyone tryed lead filler instead of bondo?
  2. i drilled a hole in the shocks and ran a small bead over the seam once i had it as close as i could get it. i still havn't trimmed the rubber end caps.
  3. what about an rb25 tranny? are they realy as strong as the rumors say?

    ring gap

    it's NA. everything is stock; bore, pistons, etc. the manual said top ring at .025" min, and second at .030" min. all of mine gap at .018". should i have them at the books specs, or is that too much. if it's too much, what should i have them at?

    ring gap

    well, they both check out at .018" as pulled from the box. so should i just leave them as is?

    ring gap

    the fsm says a min of .025 on the top and .30 on the second ring. the rings i bought mic at .018. my engine builder thinks that that should be fine and that the books numbers seem a bit high. what do u sesoned builders think i should go for just a stock rebuild?
  7. i'm havin a hard time findin a set of fender mirrors. has anyone used another type of mirror in this manor, and what does it look like?
  8. well this is a kool little mod. but can the markers be found as clears?
  9. i'm lookin at .020 over just to even all the cylinders out. if i can't find those, then yea i'll go bigger, but i can't find any. i've only been able to find oversized dished from Napa, but i want the flats. i don't have the extra time and $$ to have things machined. if i find the pistons i want i can get them and have the block machined in a few days. DAW, i love u'r idea about gettin the better rod/stroke ratio, but i don't have very much money to play with. theirs alot of things i'd love to do to this motor, but this is not the time for it, i just need it back in the car, and soon.
  10. i can't seem to find any. MSA says that Nissan disscontinued them(thats their vendor). Beckarnley doesn't have .020 over flat tops(thats what i want). and i can't afford to get custom. were can i find some?
  11. my dad had a chance to pic up one of those over the summer. $1500 for the car and all the parts to put it together, plus a bunch of spare. freakin awsome cars, i wish he had bought it.
  12. after extencive nit picking(i have a 67 Camaro in my garage) i deem it nice, but not quite ready yet. the c pillar is perfect, couldn't have been done any better. 1/4 pannel, near carbon copy of the original. smaller tail lights and the rear will be ok. grill shape is nice, just needs to be flattened out a bit more, it's to angular. the roof as a whole is very well done, apart from the drop down the middle. i think that GM is trying to capture the classic koolness of the first Camaro, but with an updated look to better suit the time period. the biggest beef i have with this is that their trying to look like the first gen, but are calling it a muscle car. the first gen was a pony car, so proportions were not as bulky as the large muscle cars on the road at the time. i'f they realy want to capture that classic feel, they need to make it look less bulky.
  13. my s12 is called the TurboNotch and my z was referd to as the Batmobile by friends of the last owner. not sure if i'll keep it or call it Darkhorse once i get it painted.
