Step 7-Unmasking This is a tough call, you can check how dry the paint is getting by feeling the paint on the paper or masking tape, you need to peel off the masking paper and get the fine line tape off before it gets completely dry or it may lift the new flame paint. But you don't want to...

Step 4- Sanding, at this point I took 400 grit wet and dry sand paper and sanded all of the area to be painted. I dry sanded. If this had been a valuable car and I was using automotive paint and applying it with professional paint sprayers I would probably go to an even finer grit up to 800...

Ok here goes, this will be long so I will do it in steps or several posts, Step 1- Draw out the flame design. I measured the width of the hood and figured out the center. I then laid out a large piece of paper on the living room floor and designed the flame design for half of the hood and...

Wow that was a mess, were pretty lucky here in Idaho, it's a dry heat and a dry cold so we don't have to many issues with rust. My Jeep is in excellent condition, I just want to add custom roll cages and goodies. That guy did a great job though didn't he. You can see the Jeep at the link...

From what I can tell by researching the 135 Lincoln is basically the same as the Weld Pak 100 but it comes with the gas attachments. When you read the specs on the two they are the same unit as far as Amps and thickness they can weld so it may be worth the extra to get the gas right off the...

I have heard that is quite a place. Hidden areas and stuff every where.

Thanks for the info. I've also heard the gas conversion is a great help but is worthless in outdoor situations or any place that has wind and environmental issues. I would like to be able to fab some bumper modifications and light brackets for the Jeep as well as build my own lock box for...

I'm hinting to the wife that I would like a welder for my Birthday. Anyone familiar with the Lincoln Weld Pak 100? Looks like it will weld up to 1/4 inch. Cost is around $350 with a few accessories. Not something I would use a ton (I say that now) but I'd like to be able to fabricate some...

Just wanted to say thanks to Admin for giving this a shot. :D I was just comparing this forum to some of my other forums and I felt like I knew the members in some of the other groups quite a bit better than I do in this group. Almost to the point I'd consider a lot of them friends. This...

This would be the first year in over 20 that I didn't hunt at all. They closed up several areas that I enjoy hunting and just had a thorn so I didn't buy any tags. Didn't really hear of any trophy's taken this year in my area. However I did get me a new Winchester Model 94, 30-30 for...

Guess I better kick this off based on it being my suggestion. Recently purchased a little Ford Festiva as a commute car to save some money, bare in mind this car is pretty beat up and has a ton of miles but runs good and cost me all of $400. To liven it up a bit I decided to give it a flame...

I have a question or proposal I guess, I am also a Jeep Wrangler owner and belong to a couple of Jeep forums and one of the forums has an Off Topic section where you can go and simply shoot the breeze a bit on items that may be a little off topic. I have found this area to be a great place to...

Watched it from the confines of my living room with a log on the fire as it is way cold outside here in Idaho. Some of those cars and trucks went pretty reasonable. The 56 F100 was a bit high, I had a 55 F100 with a tilt front end and a 5" chopped top but I sold it to put a down payment on my...

Craters of the Moon, now you're in my back yard. Drive through Craters pretty regularly to go Fly Fish Silver Creek near Sun Valley in Picabo Idaho. Picabo Streets home town. Wave next time you go through.

$5,600 with somewhere just over 80,000 miles, a new paint job, and rust free as well. Still don't have any rust issues but the paint is no longer fresh, the interior needs a fresh set of upholstery, and the miles aren't in the 80's anymore. Old man time just seems to take his toll on things...

That being the case I'm surprised you didn't get deducted for trying to put a Shelby look a like trunk and T-Bird lights on a 68 Mustang, not to mention the side scoops. Unbelievable, keep us posted on this, you aren't stopping there I hope. Cory

Not sure if anyone would be interested but I saw this in a forum that I belong to thought I'd share it. Cory I have a 1968 J-Code Coupe I have to sale. I am in Salt Lake City, Utah. This car is very clean for a project. We dont want to sale it but we need the money pretty bad. I am asking...

I think I'd add it back into the restoration as well. I'd make sure and take plenty of pictures (looks like you have) and take the pictures with you to car shows if you show the car so you can help explain when the judges question it if they do. Cory

I was wondering a bit myself. So much so I had to call you on it. And I was a bit excited to see your response. Oh well just goes to show you can never know what to expect or believe. Cory

I rarely if ever buy things as an investment (can't sell it once I have it and I have accepted this fact so it doesn't play in anymore) so the rarity of the two wouldn't play into it as much with me. Thus I would look at what was available and base my decision on color, options and condition...
