awesome Pete…hello from north Idaho. i am building a 51 chevy 327 cu 350 trans mustang 2 front end. 2 door bizz coop
Thank you Pete I'm learning so much from you I appreciate all the information you share you are awesome
Classic cars was the big thing 20-25 years ago. Now the people who own these cars are getting old and tired of them so the aftermarket value has tanked. Even new car dealer will give you money for a credit towards a new car. Of course they give nothing and try and sell it for 3 times what you traded your classic in. I got a classic they what to give me half if that. If your lucky if you can find someone special. You have to find the right person if you can or take the beating. Right now it has been for like 7 years now is it is a buyer market.
Does this work with Bakelite? not shure what type of plastic is on 1968 Mustang
I think the new generation does like old classic cars, they're just all lazy as fuck and accustomed to the instant gratification. I know because I'm lazy as fuck, and I've been lazily restoring my 69 beetle for like 5 years now. Thanks to that one thing that happened last year, which I won't name cuz youtube censorship, I've had so much free time. Watching these restoration vids on youtube has given me a new kick in the ass to get it done. I'd love to try set up a shop tuning/fixing classics, since there's so few places that do it anymore.
Carb cleaner also doesn't evaporate nearly as fast, so much better for cleaning
Fantastic video 👍
honestly, 100$ on a caulk gun, thats a racket. and 40$ a tube! Dude Im doing my aluminum stepvan and I need half a fuckload! Shit I was counting on 4 times the paint but damn the price of poker keeps going up…. why cant 2 parts in the same tube, and mix in the tip just like the foundation repair stuff…
I was about to restore the old slick style wheel on my 72 Dodge van but more I looked around the hub, I noticed the cracks were so heavy they shifted the seperate pieces of plastic from each other. what a nightmare! I had to get one of the later wheels that looked the same.
Truly valuable information from a guy who knows! Thanks so much for sharing your talents and experience my friend Pete!
