I think this stuff has been talked about before here, so forgive me if this is a rerun. I finally bought some Evaporust a few weeks ago (it was on sale for $26/3.8l jug) and tried it. Wow! That stuff is impressive. No smell, no effort, dropped the hose clamps I wanted cleaned into a pail and left it over nigh...

Does anyone have experience with using some sort of dip to replenish the coating on these little guys? I recall 35 years ago when I was a volunteer fireman we refurbished a bunch of our tools/equipment that had a coating similar to this stuff on handles etc. One of the guys showed up with a pail of some so...

You purists will say "cool" and the rest of you will go "huh, what's the big deal?" I pulled these off a wrecked vehicle this morning, they're in premium shape still, came off like they were brand new. I had a couple before but after I clean these up I'll have enough to do both heater hoses on my car. I love...

I saw this shot on another site, what a great shot showing some of the details on assembly line engines. Check the exhaust manifolds on the 2nd and 4th engines---bright orange!

It looks to me like the top side of the front filler panel is painted argent grey like parts of the grill, The grey seems to be from the molding up and body color from the molding down. I'm restoring the car to factory appearing and would really like to get this detail correct. Any help would be greatly a...

Neat little detail for the purists out here, my 56 Pathfinder Deluxe is mostly unrestored and I got it from the second owner, one family owned since 56. They are telling me the wheels were never repainted, and I can easily tell that the spare at least is untouched original with the original tire on it. Wh...

The valve covers on my 283 for 1962 don't have any markings, so likely someone painted them over the years. Is the PONTIAC lettering from the factory a decal or painted on? If it is a decal can anyone tell me it they are readily available? If they are painted on can anyone tell me where to get a stencil?

I got my repro decal from Beaumontguru. I could have asked him in PM but I thought others might have the same question. Install it like the first picture or the second? I'm thinking first but I want to be sure.

I'm trying to find a Grant Brown Sticker or a picture of one that I might be able to reproduce. I know they have been closed for some time but still worth a try. They were located at 1575 Weston Road, Weston Ontario Canada. Thanks Rick
