  1. Thanks, I couldn't find it on google. I was expecting to see new 5.0
  2. Cool...how about some pictures?
  3. As long as there's no humidity, I'd say you have some time to put on a primer. I wonder if they can dip it in acid, why can't they dip it in primer?
  4. Any recommendations for Michigan shops?
  5. No, that's not it I remember website was in Japanese. Nice RX7 though.
  6. This might be off topic but hopefully some one knows what I'm talking about. Awhile ago, somebody posted a link to a Japanese website where guy was showing off his cutom work. He had few cars on there including 240z and FC RX-7. It was the best looking fc I've ever seen. Looked like it was perhaps wide body of some sorts. It was black. I remember there wasn't much text on the website, mostly pictures from his projects. I thought that maybe it was posted in ZG for rx-7 thread, but it wasn't. I searched archives for about 30 minutes but nothing comes up
  7. Thanks guys. I was hoping to take care of the rust over the winter. I guess I'm going to have to wait until spring then. Thanks again for some great tips.
  8. Unfortunately all the rust is on the unibody so I can't get anything off and put in the booth, except maybe control arms. I think I'm going to try sand blasting in my garage. I wasn't impressed with wire wheels, and I doubt those 3M discs I posted are any better. Aluminum oxide blasting media or should I use something else?
  9. Ah yes, somebody recomended that to me before too. Thanks for reminding me. Do I need any air circulation/evacuation in the space I'm sand blasting or can I just do it and sweep afterwards?
  10. I've searched a bit and found few things. Sand blasting works very well but I have 1 car garage. Also I found a post where you put the part in water, add salt or baking soda, stick a rebar in the water and then hook up battery to rebar and rusted part. Well, these two won't help me since I'm trying to remove rust off inner fenders and floor. It's not on a Z but this is the only forum I'm registed on where people have experience restoring cars. Anyways, I used a wire brush and electric grinder but it doesn't work so well. Can't get rust off uneven surfaces and corners. Some one recommended me this. How well does it work and how fast does it wear out? Anything else that's really good and fast?
  11. Hey Bob_H, did you get your car from paint yet? I can't wait to see how it turned out
  12. Didn't find one at auto parts store. Maybe Home Depot will have it. I'm worried though that threads inside the fitting might be seized together from rust, etc. I guess I'll find out tonight after work.
  13. Thanks for the tip. I'll try vinegar. I wouldn't say they're bonded together but thread on the male fitting are rusted. I suspect that female end might be too since I can't crack it open and I'm no wimp. Any fluid that can help dissolve the rust at the edge of the female fitting and maybe penetrate between threads should help tremendously.
  14. What's a good way to actually remove as much rust as possible in a tight spot? It's not Z related but I'm trying to take a fuel line apart but fittings are rusted, I figured this would be a good place to ask After wrestling with it for an hour I'm out of options. Is there a solvent I can spray on it? I've read that anything with oxalic acid would do but I don't know any products that use it. Any suggestions would be great.
  15. I'm curious, does any one know if you can put LS1/6 heads on Darton SBC aluminum race block? Summit Racing says it's a Gen I block.
  16. Some one should try to make molds of bob_h's fenders. They look perfect.
