    Lots of internet searching, and like everybody says your canvas has to be straight before any paint goes on
    I have spent almost a year doing bodywork, of course off and on
    What I tell my kids dont be afraid just do it , lifes learning lessons. No being afriad to mess up

    Yea but now I am getting anxious The striper I am wanting to use is comming over today, I hope he is reasonable, because being Christmas , haveing kids, doesnt leave much money left on the table this time of year

    I have one striper that says he will stripe the flames, dash, headlights, grill shell, 150.00. Thats cheap, but he is not as good, novice like me. Even with paying for a striper should put me at around 1200.00-1300.00 in a paint job,including bufffing materials, not bad I say

    Thats just paint

    Mr.Blue,

    Did you ever have a problem with a steering arm from speedway for a corvair?
    I bought one from them for my corvair box.
