Come is coming along nicely..just one question...you say the hot primer is ok to go over bare metal rub throughs but I noticed the door jams are completely bare metal...do you use an etch primer or does the hot prime go over those areas without an issue?
Cheers , Kev

We mixed the Hot Prime as a sealer, which DuPont states is OK direct-to-metal. We gave the sand-through areas a little extra material build before block sanding to make sure everything was OK, and the results worked out great. Always check the chemical manufacturer's guidelines on this stuff, the formulas change, and what might work today might not work tomorrow!

Hello.Just discovered this site and signed up because seems cool as hell.My first car was a 64 elki my dad picked up for me during our move from cali to the north east back in 86.Been hooked on the 64-65 ever since and now in the process of seeing if Ill be able to install the new full gm style quarters (that Ive been begging goodmark to start making for maney years now )on my 64 ss convertable.Watching the vidio you guys have installing the left quarter on the 65 makes me wana get cutting.Saw the vid showing the rusty dash.Very comon. Ive had a few like that.The door jam is another comon rot spot.Got lucky with this one. The dash,jams,and rockers are mint.Started my frame off about 9 years ago and thought about selling a few times.You know how it is.You get married buy a house and have 3 kids.No more fun money.Im inspired watching you finish yours.Thanks and have a good one.

Muscle cars need free-flowing exhaust to make power, but that does not mean the have to be obnoxiously loud. However, we all like that sweet rumble from a healthy engine, but not droning in the cabin. What to do? Check out this install video of a MagnaFlow stainless exhaust system with its flow-through mufflers and True-X crossover tubes. Not only does it look slick, but it installs easy, does not rob power, and sounds great at all the right times.
I am curious about the exact mufflers used. MagnaFlow has a variety of them and I found a few that "looked" like the one in your video. My goal with my Charger is to get that nice sound without the resonating so I can drive it a long distance without losing any braincells.
Is the one you show in the video a Magnaflow® - Center/Offset Universal Muffler (MGN-1112X)? I got a "wish list" going. I want to add it if thats the right part number.

Well Bones, I don't know the exact part number, but here's a link to the system we used...
http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopexd.asp?zone=all&id=247
Perhaps you can take a look through their catalog and see what matches up. Does this help?

Yes, that should work out fine. I should be able to contact them and figure out the part number for the muffler. I don't think they have a kit for a 1st generation Charger so odds are I'll just be purchasing the x crossover and the muffler then ordering the pipe from somewhere else.
Thanks for the link!

I think they do universal kits with their mandrel bent stainless pipe that might work for you. I'll ask 'em if they have any plans for a Charger kit.

This time, we're installing the sheetmetal on our 1965 Chevelle getting it ready for it's final layers of color and then clearcoats. The jamb areas have all been painted and cleared, but we want to make this a running, driving car before we bring it back to the paint booth for final paint.

Our 1965 Chevelle gets a cooling upgrade in the form of a
BeCool
aluminum radiator, and then we fire it up for the first time as a complete car! We broke-in the engine on the chassis using some
Royal Purple Break-In Oil
, and now it's time to fire it "for real!"

1965 Chevelle Final Paint Sprayout Video V8TV
«
Reply #88 on:
April 05, 2011, 12:00:03 PM »
In this video, we're wet sanding the previous color coat on our 1965 Chevelle with 3M Wetordry 2000 grit sandpaper and masking and prepping it for the final color coats of DuPont Estoril Blue. Painter Nathan Newberry mixes the materials in a 3M PPS cup system for easy measurement and cleanup before entering the downdraft baking booth discusses proper spraying technique when applying metallic colors. Then, the car receives several coats of clear before leaving the spray booth. Next step: wet sand it again, and buff it out!

1965 Chevelle Wetsanding & Buffing New Paint Video V8TV
«

Our 1965 Chevelle's paint looked really nice coming right out of the spray booth, but we knew that by wetsanding and buffing the car with 3M's Trizact system, this car would have a perfectly flat show-car finish. The process involves wetsanding the car by hand as well as using air-powered dual-action sanders to level the finish, then a variety of buffing pads and compounds to polish the car to a mirror finish.
