Before you start taking off the old bondo, consider how much work you'll have putting new bondo back on. I just finished painting my TD. I started out by stripping the panels down to bare metal. Wha

The door hinges on my TD are worn. Can they be bored out and used with oversized pins? Is there an outfit that does this kind of work that I can send them to? New ones are a bit salty. Bob Donahue, S

I've had good results using chrome polish with scotch-brite pads, like you find in the kitchen sink for scrubbing pots and pans. The pad is tough enough to get the crud and rust off, but soft enough

I've seen the brake brake fluid trick revive old dried out rubber, but I don't know the long term ramifications. I think this is a last ditch sort of thing to try when you can't find a new rubber pa

Are you using 20W50? That seems to be what everybody recommends for LBCs. Thinner oil will run lower pressure. Does anybody have a correlation between viscosity and pressure? Would a thinner oil actu

I just add a few squirts of oil every month. I figure that if it overflows, the worst thing that can happen is a little blue smoke out the exhaust for a few seconds. Anybody disagree? How often shou

What kind of screws attach the outside edge of the floorboards on a TD. The DPO didn't see fit to replace them. Wood screws? Machine screws? Bob Donahue, Still Stuck in the '50s rdonahue@holli.com 53
