1988 TC single Holset turbo 5.0/ 4R70W Reply #570 – September 29, 2011, 08:29:37 AM Quote from: 347Thunder;368743the flexible paint/ primer don't do !!!! the trick is put your paint on as thin as possible to keep it from cracking, I used flex agent on my bumper and you saw how it cracked.LOL looking good now your coming down the home stretch, just....a....little.....moreGood advice. I'll be sanding down the bumper pretty good. Just 2 wet coats of primer. Your bumper cracked and so did your bumper support!! LOL Seriously, thanks for the support. Your car looks fantastic. Mine isn't going to be as smooth since it looks like you sanded and buffed the clear flat.What did you use to put your outer door handles back on? Big rivets or some other kind of hardware?

It looks good in my opinion. Are you going with body color door handles or trim black? Quote Selected

Maybe some flattened head star bit bolts or something. Stainless is a good idea, too. I'm going to treat and paint the metal on the handle so it won't rust as fast.I just ordered tires for my pickup truck. Prices for tires are silly right now. Quote Selected
