Thats What I was thinking, and even if you change out filters every 6 mo. it's not that hard to get to.

Nice work on the fender! It was pretty smashed up in the corner! Looks like I got some catching up to do!

72SWBChevy · 07-17-2012, 03:33 PM

Moving right along, looking good. Keep sanding, it all pays off!!!

XxCHEVYMANxX · 07-17-2012, 06:49 PM

Welded the crack in the door. My neighbor had Central Air problems so I had to help him out. It's way to hot to be without AC.

Most of the time it's nothing you can use, this time I have a wrench to add to the toolbox.

Someone else may have had this idea, I put my putty spreaders in lacquer thinner for easy clean up. the lid would pop of from pressure, and the thinner would evaporate. so my hillbilly idea was to use a rattle can spray head for press. relief. works great !
