    Electric paint sprayer

    I was thinking about getting an electric paint sprayer to paint my car. I was planning on using my air compressor to do the job but it seems all the spray guns need 13 to 15 CFM and my 2hp 10 gallon compressor puts out 6.4 CFM and I'm not about to buy another compressor. Does anyone have...

    My Runner Project

    Got my bird from a guy in Arkansas. It was sitting in a barn since 1984. It's a 383 with automatic and nicely optioned with bucket seats and console, tachometer, fender turn signal indicators, hood stripes and vinyl top. Original Magnum 500 wheels have some surface rust but are in great...

    Oil weight

    I'm going to use Valvoline VR1 Racing Synthetic 20w-50. It's supposedly a high zinc and phosphorus formula, but should I add ZDDP Plus as well, or is too much of good thing not a good thing?

    Oil weight

    I forgot to mention that I was going to use ZDDPPlus ZDDP Engine Oil Additive Zinc & Phosphorus. Is using synthetic motor oil in general a bad idea on these engines or was it just that 5w 20 was to light or both?

    Oil weight

    I bought a 69 runner with a 383 with 105k miles that was sitting since 1984. Motor runs well with very little blow by. I was planning on using a full synthetic oil and was wondering what weight oil to use. I was thinking of using Castrol GTX Full Synthetic 5W-20W with a WIX 51515XP XP oil...

    Looking for a media blaster

    I was watching DIY Automotive School on YouTube and my man Pete says not to blast car panels. He recommends using Aircraft Paint Stripper. I was planning on using a gravity feed gun and my 2hp compressor to blast some parts like the sway bar when I replace H-frame.

    Looking for a media blaster

    I need to get a media blaster and looking for recommendations. I have a 2hp air compressor that puts out 5.3 CFM at 90 PSI. I would like a siphon feed, but they all require 15 CFM and up. Even the gravity feeds seem to need at least 7 CFM. I would be using it on body panels, frame, bottom of...

    Original owner? That's awesome! That car is hot! I hope my 69 looks that good one day.

    My Runner arrived today. Runs ok. Needs a new carb and exhaust for starters. While the car was still on the carrier I got a decent look at the underside of the floor pan. I was amazed that I didn't see any rust. I will inspect more closely and remove carpeting. K frame showed up today too.

    I agree. Hopefully the rest of frame is OK. I plan on blasting and painting it.

    I don't think it's so much a rust issue, but a crack. Possibly rust related. I'll know more when I get the car.

    Hope I don't have to pull the motor to do it. Waiting to take a look at it to see what's involved.

    I assume it's been blasted and painted. I'll post an update when I get it.

    I did ask him if it fits a 69 and he replied "perfectly".

    He was asking 650 and I got it for 500. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MOPAR-B-BODY-CHARGER-CORONET-ROADRUNNER-K-FRAME-WITH-SKID-PLATE-MINT-/393850289908?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

    I got a K Member on ebay. Should be here next week. It will probably be here before the car arrives.

    Does this sound legit?

    Love that car! I bet it drives like you're on a cloud.

    Yeah I was concerned about those pock marks. Don't want to have to replace it again.

    I'm sure I will be taking many more lumps before this Runner is back to all it's badass glory. I hope I will be able to get it done. Just going to stay focused and take it one step at a time.
