    Anyone ever used Monstaliner on dash pad or door panels?

    Title says it all. After seeing lots of great dash restorations here, I’m curious how well spray paint is holding up in the sun over the years? I Monstaliner’d my cj5 interior years ago and was very pleased with its look, feel, and how it was kinda smooth textured vs gritty. Made me wonder if it...

    Hey fellas, I have an 81 crew cab with 350/sm465/205 and I just finished up the rear 14ff disc brake conversion, using 3/4 ton standard calipers instead of the complicated Eldorado stuff. Being a manual, I’d love to have (read: wife is demanding) an e-brake for the old Blue Moose. For those of...

    New to squarebodies with 81 k30 crew cab

    Hello all, I’m excited to be a new part of the squarebody family! I just bought a new project to be a do-all fun rig for my family of 5. It’s an 81 k30 crew cab long bed 4x4. It was a factory diesel but now breathes with a 350, which is great because I don’t have to smog it here in CA. It’s...
