  1. I took some body parts from my dads 64 Ford galaxie to get media blast on monday. I just got them back today i took 2 door a hood,trunk and 2 fenders all for $180. They did great job on getting the rust out, but left some of the body filler which wasn't much. I believe some of you on this board maybe familiar with this company CRYSTAL SANDBLASTING in Upland, California. Just wanted to pass the word around, for people that are looking for blasters in the sounthern california area.:2thumbs:

  2. The rust bullet works great. I would suggest that if you put some in the engine bay that you use a spray gun instead of a brush since yuo can see the brush strokes. Also were a mask with the carbon filters lots of fumes from the paint. Wear some gloves if you get the paint in your skin and it dries your going to be wearing that paint for a week not even scrubbing works. Im going to be using it again on my dads 1964 Ford galaxie restoration

  3. I finished my brake upgrade used the 15/16 master cylinder and the 280z 8 1/2 inch diameter brake booster. Im going to check out how the braking power.I tried it on jack stands it stop pretty quick but the streets are another thing. here are some pictures of the stuff.. The booster bolt pattern is different than the original 71 240z booster which is really small, so you have to drill new holes. Its pretty easy to do and it just fits perfectly.

  5. I'm going to be installing the 240sx e-brake handle, cables and calipers in the next couple of days. Lots of cutting fabricating and welding. Also i will be installing Ross rear calipers brackets. which i just order. I decided to go with the 240sx e-brake system its more modern i guess and to be different. Its going to be on the drivers side, i was thinking of putting it in the middle of the trans tunnel
