Not a breakthrough but a memory jogger:

What we used to call primer putty (basically primer without much thinner) has been a 2-part product...

I haven't seen it on the front other than across the front part of the hood and fenders. No clue if it was factory or not. The HHR had some on the back...

Another primer sanding tip:

I don't know if you guys know about these but I can't live without 'em - meet the taco. The only ones I've ever...

[DanStokes]

I had to convert Mutt the Race Truck to manual - no vacuum with the Diesel. They work fine....

[DanStokes]

These are available from a guy I met at the track back in my racing days named Dan Parker. He's totally blind as a result of a track accident - he drove...

The car was rebooted in 1934 by Jonckheere in Belgium. Those crazy Belgians!

[DanStokes]

Bummer.

[DanStokes]

I know enough to know that I don't know. But I'm thinking they must have had a reason for the two different sizes and it's worth a try. Waiting to see...

[DanStokes]

Love it! I was heavily into horses for a decade or so. Ran out of money and got a different wife......

[DanStokes]

Stunning work as always! And the Packard limo in the background is pretty neat as well.

[DanStokes]

The real news is that I got back out in the shop after a week off for another annoying common cold, just 3 months after the last one. Seems like the immunity...

[DanStokes]

You could build the roadster with a bolt-in halo style cage and just bolt it out when cruising town. Bolt-ins are OK with the LSR crowd and, in fact,...

[DanStokes]

Gail was special and I really miss her - and the other women - on here. I always hoped we'd meet up somehow but the couple of times I've been to CA it...

[DanStokes]

Listen to your father....

[DanStokes]

I hate it when friends disappoint. A really close friend turned into an alcoholic and he'd call me when he was drunk. I'd loved to talk to him but I...

[DanStokes]

I know what you mean on the "I think I'll live". Every time I get a bump or bruise my wife thinks it's going to take me out. I know it's...
