Some Body/Paint Questions on a Muscle Car Restoration?

admin June 14th, 2009

Jay W asked:


I’m planning on doing a resto-mod of a 1970 Dodge Charger, and have some questions. I plan to get the car, tear it down, strip it down to the bare, install a rollcage, prime the entire thing, have the framerails and interior painted and the undercarriage under-coated, before I install the interior, drivetrain, suspension. After that, final paint and re-installation of exterior pieces.

My questions are as follows:

1. Is professional-quality sandblasting okay for the exterior panels, or bad? Can I have the entire thing sandblasted, or should I only have the interior/underside/framerails blasted, and sand the rest myself?

2. If sandblasting is bad for the exterior, can I bring in a bare unibody with the old paint/primer still on, have JUST the interior/underside/frailrails sandblasted/primed/painted/undercoated, then begin sanding the exterior panels myself?

3. Can I apply primer or sealer-primer (I don’t know the the difference between the two!) to a freshly-sandblasted or sanded body, then do the body filler/prep work LATER?

4. I know that sanding blocks are a must for the filler/body work, but to get the original paint/primer off, will a high-speed circular sander be okay?

5. Can I sandblast/prime the interior, THEN have a rollcage installed?

Any answers, explanations, or advice is MORE than appreciated!

How come the majority of the questions about car problems deal with imports?

TysMama07 asked:


Is it because there a box of trix that only suckers buy?? Why do they try and race our American Muscle cars? Even with a turbo on that 800 pound go-kart, they still cant keep up with my stock Trans-Am!! I think “wanna-be” when I see guys driving them like race cars. Hey, how much H.P do they get with that 4 foot peice of trunk plastic sticking up in the air??
Yeah, when it comes to comfort ricers were built for the small guys, thats why i had a panic attack sitting in a honda civic… And Handling?!? Pleaze…Thats what mustangs, camaro’s and firebirds were made for!! I gotta long list of wana-be imports on my dominated-then-shit-on list!!(and alot were on a road course) you people watched “2 fast 2 furious 2 many times!! Go back to Japan!

Music Video Muscle Car by Mylo

Yup, that’s me, Alex Liang, in Mylo’s dance hit ‘Muscle Car’ music video, together with my ‘boss’ Bruce Wang. Bruce actually can’t speak a word of Chinese at all (he was born here in the UK) – and he’s speaking gibberish. A very contraversial video indeed, and what a project to work on! alexliangwebsite.tripod.com

What is a good website to buy aftermarket parts for a muscle car?

admin June 6th, 2009

Mehah asked:


I’m a 14 year old kid and I’m pretty positive I’m getting a 2009 Dodge Challenger RT when I’m 16. I’m thinking about asking for some aftermarket parts before i turn 16 so when i do turn 16 and get the car i have cool stuff. I have enough holidays and birthdays to get about 4 things. I want a turbocharger, exhaust, and speakers. Any other ideas to make it faster? Any good brands or websites? Don’t worry about me being to young and not needing a fast car. Haha.

Thank You.
