  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I'll be posting weekly videos on random how-to's and project updates. Some topics will be in response to questions I get on a regular basis, some will be what I just happen to be working on at the time.

    If there's something specific you want to see, let me know. I'm looking for ideas on topics! I am shooting for new videos to come out every Sunday evening.

    Here is a link to my channel:

    I've been wanting to feature this car in a video since it got here, but the last month has been extremely busy. I had a vision of the transformation from virtual barn-find condition to current state, but I ended up doing a once-over on it...with an emphasis on the original details of the stripes.

    I liked the title of the latest video. Most restored cars are much better than they left factory, even if not a concours level effort. I am looking forward to the "guide to sub-par butt welding"

    Great videos. Yeah, I've spent days staring at body panel gaps and loosing/tightening/moving until I just finally say good enough and walk away. Not for the faint of heart.

    Most people overthink the color for the pin stripe. Go for the 70-72 Fire Red code....no one will know if it's "wrong" or otherwise. As far as getting it to look aged, I would airbrush it on so it's super thin, and half ass coverage to match whatever patina you're looking for.
