    Prepping Plastic for Paint

    Great reply, I'm an audio guy and paint plastic all the time. The main part here in AZ is the degreaser. With our heat the plastic off gasses bad, so proper cleaning and cleaning and cleaning is a must.

    lift kit identification?

    It sounds like my factory "lift" on my 89 Suburban, washboard roads are ridiculously rough and jarring and it almost rubs with 33" tires even though there is almost no articulation in the front. I just purchased a 6inch Rough country lift so I hope that will help with at least Articulation if...

    How do yall ground your Alternator?

    I usually do this on every vehicle I buy or anything I'm working on that has aftermarket accessories. I am mainly an audio, accessory and interior guy so that is usually every car I work on including my 70 C10 with a mild audio system. You can never have too good of a ground so...

    Single din install problem

    I have installed so many of those ABS Plastic plates over the years and they work great. but I almost always have built at least a little pod under the dash or even better a console to fit a double din below the dash. Here are a couple examples. They could easily be double Din radios in all of...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    It will sound way better with the speakers in the kicks, do not even bother with the center dash speakers unless you are running a digital signal processor. 4 speakers 2 in kicks, 2 in rear doors and a sub will be great. If you have any questions I'd be glad to help. I have been an audio...

    I guess I give up on the windows

    I had that problem on my 67 Elcamino. I ran a separate ground from the kick panel to the motor and that fixed it. After that i just moved it to go with all the other wiring through the door boot.

    I need help and to know what this truck is worth

    Lots of great info here but I have personally removed trees from 4 VWs when I had a shop. Only one was good enough to actually be finished and driven. Rust literally everywhere and this was in Phx AZ. If you really want it I'd start at $500 and depending maybe go up $1000. I just bought a nice...

    Battery negative ground question..... again, sorry !

    Also make sure to wire brush the surface of the frame where the bolt goes through for a good connection and I usually respray over the bolt and connector to protect the metal from rust after.

    Door Speaker Depth Clearance

    I have done over 100 of these trucks and almost always put them in the bottom of the door where there is plenty of room for depth. Although the kick panel is a much better idea if you can fab a spacer or new panel. These are $150 from Brothers.

    6×9s

    The magnet size is determined by power handling and magnet type. If you aren't planning on using an amplifier then a bigger magnet will just take away from the sound as you won't have enough power to run the speakers correctly. If you are planning to run an amp then I usually do like 45tt and...

    Inexpensive cup holders?

    They are made for boats and even thogh they are a little flimsy they hold cups while bouncing over waves so they should be strong enogh. I've installed them on many boats and they are great because they are out of the way when not in use.

    Fuse question (what is this for? Empty on a schematic)

    At least you dad didn't pull the glass fuse out and wrap it with tin fiol! I went to find an Ign to tap into and saw it. I had been driving it that way for over 10yrs since my Dad passed plus however long he drove it too. I guess being a turbine engeneer doesn't make you good at wiring?

    Let’s talk about headliners

    I've done a few racecars where the cage was to close to the roof to get a headliner throung and I just did sound deadner and glued the fabric right to the roof and they came out great. If you havent done a lot of fiberglass then don't even think about this being a good starting point. I've done...

    Let’s talk about headliners

    I have recovered at least 20 different headliners and there are some great instructions here. The main thing I do different is the prep (I use a D/A Orbital sander to remove all foam and dust from the prior covering) and I always use Weldwood Landau Top and Trim Contact Adhesive. I use a cheap...
