I've been using the acetone/ATF mix for the last year or so. It's cheap and does work.
I keep it in and old squeeze bottle.
It does not mix well, tries to separate.. I shake the bottle I keep it in if it has been on the shelf awhile.

Here are mine. I put them on a platform and built a solid top.
I've had them for 3 years and they have held up fine.

John the truck looks fantastic!

How long do you let the clear cure before you go at it with the sharpie?

Fantastic job!
..I've all ways loved the sound of a healthy Y-block.

Very traditional. With a change of the background the pictures could look like they were taken 1961.
Sweet Truck!

Cool build.. And I agree, Your son will reflect back on working with his dad, for a lifetime.

Government Motors heater hose?......TROLL!.....haha

Looking good Steve!

On removing the dist.
I've got them out in the past by taking a small air hammer with a pointed bit and getting the dist housing to spin.
It may a few tries, but by hammering on the outside edge of the flange down next to the intake.. I've had good luck

I used a EZ wire kit in a 64 Fairlane a few years ago. What I liked about this particular kit was, it had all black wires but still labeled every few inches. Black wires made it easier to hide. I just installed a Rebel Wire 9+3 kit in a 67 F100. It seemed to have heaver wires or thicker insulation? ...

I'll repeat the other members....What a fantastic job !!

Very nice work! ...But you already know that. :) :) Question... Would you do a post on how you grind/smooth your welds? Yours look like the don't even need any skim coat of filler. :thumright: Type of tools, grits and technique. If you have a post on this already would you please provide a link? Tha...

Thanks for the follow up. I was thinking about picking one up this fall at Moultrie swap but for 15.00 shipping I may not wait.

Please report back when you get to look it over....I may be in the market also Thanks Randall Called them and they say that the new gates are the same guage as the original (find it hard to believe but we'll see). They also say that they have almost no returns on them and that the quality has been i...

I'm in the same boat , so to speak.

Good Info.

Thanks for all the replies. The reason I asked, I have a 78 f100 that runs and drives great but the body is rough. The uni needs a complete suspension rebuild. I've put Mustang II kits under two street rods (dollars) and just finished a CV swap under a 67 f100. Just weighing all my options. A frame ...

Guys, I did a search and did not fine anything that gave me an answer. Maybe that should tell me something. :wink: Question: How close are the "frame to body" mounting points on say a 1978 F150 SB to the ones on a 62 f100 Unibody? Is there a thread out there where someone has done this swa...

Very Nice!!
Post a picture of the Comet too.
