Hey friends, read something the other day on Evercoat Fibertech and would like to know your thoughts. I put all my fillers over epoxy but read the other day somewhere that with this product it's not necessary and even more, not recommended. Recomendations please!

Hey friends, I'm mocking up panels and such and desire a very straight car. I ran a straight edge over the back edge of the doors where it meets the front of the rear quarter panel (See pic for clarity) and I get some bowing in of both the door panel and the quarter. I have an idea on how to...

Hey friends, I spent a good deal of time last night just test fitting the alignment of the driver's side fender and door on my project. This doesn't even include the hood or the other side. With all the scratched epoxy, it didn't take long for me conclude that after paint, this could be a total...

Hey friends, I need to remove some epoxy on a large panel and do not want to make too much heat or tear up the metal too bad. What's the best tool or process to do that? Thanks!

I've been posting on this forum since 2013, all in an effort to gain knowledge in the restoration of my Mustang! Too much time has gone by and I've got to get this car finished! My goal is to have it in paint this year! I thought posting it up here would help me to maintain focus and better push...

Anyone use this? I've been playing around with this using an older can of Evercoat Rage Ultra in this colder weather and it really seems to aid in application. Also noticed that it reduces pinholes. Wondering if it takes away from any of the properties of the filler???

As I don't have any skills....."You know, like numchuk skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills"....wait, I mean autobody skills....LOL! Anyway, while I lack the skills most of you have on here, I can give back by recommending good autobody related tools. I had an area on the roof...

So I have a roof with oil canning that I posted here last week sometime. Great advice given on that thread and many thanks to those whom commented. Thought before I go jacking around with that roof though, I’d work out a ding in the driver’s side fender and am glad I did. My effort in...

Was not aware of this little problem until yesterday while doing a little sanding on the roof. I'm a noob to autobody stuff but pretty sure this is not normal??? I suspect this happened when the car was media blasted too. I see no issues in the roof.... looks good, actually. Thinking about...

Hey gang, dying to use Deans sanding blocks that I bought over a year ago, I put some 180 on them and went to block sanding the roof of my car today to expose flaws. I had banged out most of the dents but knew I had some areas that would require a very thin coat of filler. The epoxy I sanded is...

Hey friends, I've got a trunk lid and a roof that I need to do some metal work to and I'm just not sure how to approach it. The trunk lid had a rear spoiler and the roof had rear window louvers. At the attachment points (see photos) you can see where the metal is pulled up and the surrounding...

I need to order some paint for the interior of my 69 Fastback and looking for an approximate quantity. This is strictly for the interior cab and trunk area. I've read 3 oz per panel per coat. Can I get some idea as to what you guys think the actual amount of sprayable paint will be?

This is probably a long shot but I'm tossing it out there anyway. My local paint jobber carries Wanda paint for which my car will be painted with, BC/CC. Problem is, he states there is no formulation for Ford Gulfstream Aqua Poly/Met, code F. I looked through his Wanda related color chips and...

I was looking around for a somewhat cheap primer gun with a 2.0 tip and came across this: Anest Iwata IWA9273 Impact Spray Gun Anyone familiar with this spray gun? I can't seem to find squat on it.

Hey friends, I will be spraying some SPI Reg high build primer and wondering if my Devilbiss FLG 5 with a 1.8 tip will be adequate? The TDS says 1.8-2.5 tip which puts my gun on the low side. Comments please!

I had to do some repair on the rear qtr of my car some time back that required a little filler work. See photo. At the time, I did not have the end caps on the car. With end caps on, there are areas that will need to be built up with filler such that the transition between the rear qtr and end...

Friends, I have questions regarding SPI sealer. I know I can mix SPI epoxy to seal with but I need something that I can top coat over sooner, as I will have a booth and my time in it will be very limited. First off, what color sealer would be best? My car will be painted Gulfstream Aqua...

Hey friends, I know there is a million ways to skin a cat but I'm left a little confused in a video I just watched regarding blocking and epoxy primer. The gentleman that did this video does some incredible work and as he is working on the same basic project I am working on, I've been following...

So friends, after much contemplation, I removed the sound deadening material inside the doors of my 69 Mach 1. It was cracking and lifting, exposing the underlying metal to rust. I first attempted to scrap it out but that is impossible. Ultimately, I used dry ice and alcohol which worked out...

Hey friends, I've been moving along slowly on my project, never-the-less, making progress. Have a few simple questions that I'd like your advise on in regards to panel prep. I removed the lead from the sail panels on my 69 fastback, cleaned up the underlying rust. and epoxied the area. I made a...
