    Has anyone dealt with Philips Mopar Garage and Parts?

    I dealt with them by denying their request to join the Save The Mopars group on Facebook if that counts. It just smelled like spam.

    Exhaust Manifold Painted Engine Color

    It will but not for very long. Even high temp powders aren't formulated to defy exhaust heat which can reach 1800+ degrees (especially at the heads). High temp liquid ceramic coatings are specifically engineered for exhaust applications. You can do them yourself with basic shop equipment and an...

    Bienvenue Vincent!! It sounds like you have a great collection! (My daughter and her husband live in Samuur.) Best wishes in your hunt for a Monaco.

    Is it just me or has Cornpatch MO gone missing?

    Hey now, my legs aren't hairy. But it was sweet of you to remember those headlight bezels. :elmer:

    Custom Powder Coating ...

    I won't deny it. Custom one-off valve covers and intake manifolds have always been my favorite thing to work up. Though some color schemes may be similar, no two are exactly alike. It's on purpose ... because I'm an artist at heart who just happens to be a die hard gearhead. Bodywork is my...

    Custom Powder Coating ...

    Just a quick bump on my long-standing thread. I'm seeing quite a few posts from (especially newer) members getting stuff coated over the last few months. I'm a FBBO Vendor who would LOVE an opportunity to quote your job! With PirateShip.com it doesn't cost nearly as much to ship as it does...

    Sad News about Bob Mazzolini

    This is from a member of a SoCal car club newsletter yesterday about Bob Mazzolini: "I went to Bob Mazzolini's shop yesterday. Employee Ken told me that Bob recently had bypass surgery, then an infection. Doctors could not stop it. They had to amputate Bob's left leg above the knee. Ken is...

    Got any good automobile wrenching related scars?

    It's an inch long and goes knuckle to knuckle on my right middle finger, a lifelong memory of my first drum brake job at 16. A spring got me when it let loose. Never forget the immortal line from The Replacements: "Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. But Glory lasts forever."

    Billy finally did it ...

    It likely won't leave the property since it's a race car, the closest track is closed and he doesn't have a trailer. Watching the Duster get loaded up hurt my heart a bit but it wasn't getting used or enjoyed either. There's just never enough cash on hand to finish, register or insure them all...

    Billy finally did it ...

    Yesterday the sweetest rust-free 1970 Duster in the midwest got a new home. A 1962 Polara Outlaw Southern Gasser named "Mule Skinner" from Florida took its place in the carport. There was too much activity to get great pictures so soon after arrival, but it sounds healthy and runs like a...

    Custom Powder Coating ...

    Here's an eclectic mix from the last couple weeks. The Indian heat shields and the tough old steel original Caddy valve covers are coincidentally both for 1956 models (not for the same guy either). 1956 Indian heat shields on arrival ... The high temp black ceramic is soooo smooth! These...

    Custom Powder Coating ...

    I have a bunch more to add but, with an appointment soon, will restrict it to a special opportunity I just couldn't pass up. A local senior's mom got in touch last Thursday while it was getting laser cut, Greenfield High School Class of 2024's gift to the school, the alma mater in 16 gauge...

    Engine Crane Boom Upgrade

    Cool! Just an FYII from the cheap seats. it will be tough to get good / complete powder coverage inside the tube due to Faraday caging. It will wrap an inch or two on the ends but the majority of the inside will be bare steel.

    Custom Powder Coating ...

    It's actually the third one ever, a really tough undertaking with those two colors compounded by his desire for a translucent candy red metallic (it needs a shiny / metallic basecoat to achieve that effect). It was in great shape for its age which saved on bodywork but the masking took quite...

    Custom Powder Coating ...

    Further to the point ... Yikes. It took a lot of bodywork but they turned out all right.
