i have no idea why that had underline on it lol

 

Hey guys quick question, do any of you all do exhaust work like welding, custom exhaust, etc.? or know anybody that does. Its not for my car, its for my van I want to get a straight pipe put in. Let me know
Thanks,
tom

 

I know a really good welder in Pontiac. Let me dig up one of his business cards. I can give you one on Friday or post up the info if you need it sooner.

 

i should actually be able to make it to a woodward meet! it's like 5 minutes from me lol we'll see how busy i am though because usually i'm ALWAYS busy

 

Have the full third brake light installed.

James & Andrew--what kind of paint do you recommend for the waterfall?
Andrew--What was that unit you were talking about to convert my blinkers to LED?

Thanks.

 

Sr77 is Scott he came with the gold 2nd Gen and purple one and took home best 2nd gen. If u want cheap and not professionally painted let me know.

 

it doesnt have to be professional but i want it to look good.

 

I loved the look that Andrew had on his waterfall. Loved that shine. I want to avoid any flaking or chipping

 

Well Carter it turns out the exact flasher unit I was talking about, the CF19, has been discontinued... However you can still purchase a CF18-08, which will work just fine. The only problem with the CF18-08 is that when you unlock and lock your car, the lights wont flash as they normally do, all other functions will work just fine (turn, signals, hazards etc...)

To order go here:

and scroll all the way to the bottom to find the CF18-08




Concerning paint, I actually used all duplicolor products, and it came out just fine. If I was doing it again, I would probably still use duplicolor for primer and color, but I would find a more expensive clear coat with a hardener. I havent had any real issues, but the higher quality the clear, the better the gloss and durability.

 

sorry, I didnt know who had them, are you going to the Jbom bbq this weekend? I'll get them from you then.

If anyone wants to meet up at my new house (excuse the mess we still need new carpet and paint) and caravan over to the bbq, let me know its at noon, I plan on staying for a hour or two, got alot of unpacking to do

 

well, if you guys will be out on woodward around 9pm on friday..i will make an appearance

All I want for christmas is a...

 

depends...you can use "rattle can". duplicolor makes a great interior paint ...but requires prep work such as sanding. the paint can only look as good as each surface its covering...for example raw material, primer, sealer, base, clear. medic uses a "no-prep" paint which seems ok but the surface must be clean, silicone free.
im not a fan of either, but i have access to other body shop materials making me a piant snob. its just hard to get a uniformed pattern out of a can. so beware of sags, drips, dirt flaking and peeling.

as andrew said, if your more concerned about a "shine" thats gonna require a good clear coat, and if desired...even wetsanding and rubbing after the paint cures. clear in a can is pre-hardned and dries very fast. so is the base color paint for that matter. be careful of the paint "eating itself" paint out of a can sometimes has laucqer in it and too many coats, or heavy coats can bite into eachother.
i have seen many awesome paint jobs done by rattle can but ive seen some sketchy ones as well. just take your time, read directions, as each paint can have specific methods, dry times, cure times etc..
with smaller projects like your waterfall, i dont see you having any problems, let me know if i can help.

 

then you woke up and decided you wanted a real car and not one you can park in the back of your xb?

 

No actually I still saw that gas was still around 4 bucks


Hmm Headliner sag-age has occorred. Any suggestions for my new one? Material wise? I wanted white so everything pops. Anyone know some good cheap material to use?

James remind me if I forget to pay you back for materials on thursday.
