I don't really have a response or anything constructive to add I just could'nt wait to use that quote.

do you have passenger side mirrors too? or does it matter? do you have a pair that match?

DANG IT.. why didnt someone tell me that before I left my primmed Z out in the rain!! Parts of the car were sanded down the the bare metal and primed. I thought it was protected.... :stupid: I was wondering where the $#%@ all of that &^%*# surface rust came from....

How much does she charge per hour?

As I have sanded my car down panel by panel, I have noticed what I would consider a little extra bondo here and there too. Why is there bondo on top of perfectly straight metal??!! My car has had at least three paint jobs in its life. That's red primer, blue, dark grey primer, blue, light grey primer, red. SIX coats in all. It seems that the "unnecessary" bondo is in places where the paint is thin - only the last coat, then bondo, then metal. Maybe a deep scratch in all that paint is easier to fix by sanding out a small area and filling with bondo back up to paint level. Several coats of paint is pretty thick. You cant just sand to bare metal and prime the metal. You have to fill the crater. That my 2 cent speculation.

I have one red door, one orange door, a black hood, a blue fender and a grey (primer) hatch. Talk about being confused! Macco told me that they charge extra to "change the color." I'm not sure that I want to go to Macco though. I need to learn more about paint before I decide who gets to paint it. I'm leaning towards red. The orange door DOES look nice though....

I dont know what's more fun, goading the near insane into rants.... or boobs.....

My rear skirt is mangled pretty bad - especially around the tail pipe. I guess I have to cut out the whole thing and reweld another one. Im exploring alternatives, but I dont really like the rear ground effect kits too much although it seems like a good solution to solve the cosmetic problem. Has anyone every replaced this part? It looks like I have to cut it out and hire a welder. I cant find any bolts. I was hoping for a bolt off / bolt on job. Do you have a straght one you can send me? Am I missing something? It does have to be welded, right?

I know there is a thread somewhere, but I don't know what to search on. I am sure that there is a word for the engine running a few seconds after you turn it off, but I can't recall. Is this a timing problem or a mixture problem? A point gap problem? I have adjusted all of these recently. Thanks.

As a Southerner, I resent that.

scary. I totally bypassed my mechanical pump, but its still bolted on. Should I remove it?

Before I paint my 71, I want to add a rear spoiler because they look so cool. Do you have one that I can have?

I need tail lights and the piece of metal under the rear bumper. The metal between the bumper and the gas tank with a cutout for the tail pipe. Mine is all mangled around the tail pipe.

what is the difference? do they look different? is there a durability issue?

Mine is under the hood in front of the strut tower. It sucks just fine. The only problem that I have had is that it sucks a little too well when the battery acid rusts a hole in the fuel line. The fuel line had a tiny hole for a while, but the suction kept the line from leaking. I kept "running out of gas" and hearing this sucking sound, but no gas leaks. When I disconnedted the fuel pump hose, the suction was released, gas spilled, and I found the hole.
