Essex my brother in California wanted to try it on his older Dodge Ram pickup for faded missing C/C. Of course not for sale in Ca, like everything else🙄 Got luckey at an estate sale and bought 8qts for $16. Worked good for him.

Your Buick looks great!
Yep, there always seems to be something. Some cars just don't seem to like people. I've had a couple and sold them. New ownerd never had problem, go figure.

My Camaro is real rough ride in the rear, spring boardy. It has overload spring over the shock. I suspect saggy leaf pack. New are averaging $400 a pair now plus truck freight🤯
Been researching re-arching them, looks like you can cold bend them at home using a cheap Harbor freight pipe bender. Found free load, (on floor specs) so i may just do that as my buddy has one.

I have been doing some small car related stuff too, Got my daily '85 Caprice MOT
tested and the 1969 Beetle to run right, after replacing the sunken float in the carb.
Two year old carburetor, and the float had soaked itself full of gas. I took the original
float from the original carb, and now it runs like it has over 30 horse power again.

We have a tuesday coffee met at a local diner, a guy I know snapped a pic as I arrived with the Buick.

The second pis is what i was going to post, I got the '85  Trans Am into the  garage, headgasket
replacement this time. less than 10 miles this summer, the car's only given me grief. Oh well, fingers crossed,
next summer might be better, there can't be many more issues... can there?

Floood penetrol. Interesting stuff. Too bad you can't get that here, I'd love to try some.

Thanks guy's. Kind of a waist of time, but it looked terrible. Just need decent as i try and find any mechanical bugs before the tear down this winter.

Had several people ask what did i put on it.
Sixball, that stuff is suppose to mix in with latex house trim paint to flow out/eliminate brush/roller marks. Lot of youtubers using it on there "patina" cars and trucks, but most of them rub it on with a rag. The clear coat fade guys are using a roller and getting it on heavy for a shine. Most that type stuff is $75 to $115 a qt, this stuff is only 14.95 a qt and i only used a 3rd of a qt to do my whole car.

Sun been out and warmed up some. Washed it yesterday and drove/sat in sun and dryed good.

The Camaro looks awesome!

Sorry about your uncle. I don't have any left and I miss them all.

That is some great paint!

Wow! That looks great Sammons!

Had to take a couple days off for my last uncles funeral. Tryimg to play catch up on Camaro. Started by mixing some old left over base coats to match, (badly) the bronze color and spotted in the bare spots on the spoiler, rear top and right front fender. Then sanded under the half vinyl top  glue and sanding/grinding mess they left. Decided i could hide a lot with a Rally Sport type 2 tone. Had some old lacquer black primer. Sqirted that on disregaurding the high humidity, (that took forever defogging from humidity.). Scuffed it with steelwool, put the only color, (white) i had for a divider stripe. Then tack ragged it and rolled on that cheap clear Penetrol Flood over the whole car. Once again, with all this rain last couple days, the humidity is drying it slow.

I got done at 2pm, just checked and its still not quite dry to the touch. And the black primer is really soaking it up, along with the dog hair its attracting🙄  Checked recoat time on line said 24-48 hrs, probably longer right now. Oh well, it now looks good from 40 feet  vs 40 yards and won't be embaressed so much to drive it till winter hits and finding all the things that need to be fixed along the way.

Pics look way better than 6 foot away😄

It looks like World Finals is a no go. SCTA has been dragging their feet on making a choice to run or not. Probably trying to make some money on slushy salt.

Thanks Rattiac. I am missing so many interior pieces😡 and new aftermarket stuff is $$$$$. Glad you finally had someone show up and buy your Jeep, so many flakes out there anymore waisting your time.

Got the catylactic converter cleaned out. Pryed out the plug and emptied out the pellets, i have never seen so many in one of the pancake converters. It all but filled my oil drain pan. Was really nasty with some mouse house crap in it. Drove in a new 1-5/8" freeze plug and tack welded  in 4 spots, taped one end shut and poured in some Super Clean to soak. Hosed that out,, lots of carbon/soot came out. Reinstalled, its my muffler for now just ran a right side exit for now. Gets rpm quick now, no more rocket sound on throttle up driving. Took out for a drive, no more stinky forest fire smell or smoke.
The speedometer needle was bouncing and reading fast, thought my needle rebuild was way off on balance. With in a few miles it quit bouncing and read close to correct mph. I cleaned and oiled cable from speedo but not the other cruise control cable down to transmission. I suspect that was the bounce until it cleaned itself up.

With temp gauge now hooked up i could monitor that. After 15mins it really shot up to 205, i turned around to head home then it dropped to 180 and stayed 180-185. I suppose the thermostat just opened up right. All in all, i'm really happy with it so far. The amount of waking up its doing, the self healing, is nice. 😁
