Re: 1928 special coupe and tudor sedan doors

Hi Wayne, the car in my avatar is going to remain stock other than the 35 wheels. My coupe has already been turned into a hot rod before I bought it so it will remain a hot rod.

Re: Rust repair

If you have access to a TIG welder, silicon bronze welding rod works great on small holes

Re: Been sitting 20 years

My Model A sat for at least 20 years before I bought it. All my valves were seized, the cam would open the valves but the valve spring wouldn't close them. A compression test would be a good idea.

Re: Torch metal shrinking

I also use a shrinking tip on my stud gun, that works really well for me. I have also had good luck with the shrinking disk but it is slow.
