Re: Sacramento People I need your help!

That guy's a deadbeat! I don't care how nice of a guy he is, that's no way to run a business. What goes around comes around!! :x Scott. That's always the excuse for deadbeat sellers - "He's a great guy, just real busy/down on his luck/having surgery/yadda yadda yadda." The simple fact of ...

Re: A 510 30 years in planing.

If you, or anybody you know in Sac has a minute I could use a huge favor. I've been ripped off to the tune of $700 by a company called Pare Composites, 6251 Sky Creek Dr. unit C, Sacramento,Ca. 95828. About two months ago I ordered a bunch of carbon fiber 510 stuff from them. I was told it would ta...

Re: Bushings for T3 T/C rods

How did you not tighten them completely? They come with machine stepped "washers" to fit/align into the stock T/C mounts. You don't use any of the stock components - no rubber bushings, no washers, nada.

Re: 72 ka24e project

The rest of your rockers are probably okay, so my advice would be to limit your work to just that back section. Cut out that section from the trailing door edge, straight back to the wheel lip, and take the wheel lip with it, repair the panel and take care of the underlying rust however you see fit,...

Re: engine bay?

Body color. Any thing else looks trashy. That's a fact, not opinion :) Black just makes it look like you're trying to hide dirt/grease.
