Hello, I have an old fender (for a '31 Ford) that has a coat of bondo about 1/8" thick all over it. Does anybody know a good way to remove it? I will eventually sandblast the fender, but I am worried
I have 8-foot T12 HO light fixtures in my garage (the bulbs with funny lozenge-shaped end connectors). I had noticed that the magnetic ballasts get real hot, and I pined for electronic ones. But they
