    have you ever looked into any of the adhesives they use in autobody. 3m, lord fusor, evercoat and valvoline all make really good products. probly the best would be the evercoat since that one dont take a special gun, just a typical calking gun is all you need.

    I've got a project car that I've just primed. It's basically all block sanded & ready to paint, but I'm painting it black & would like to get it into a booth b/c my garage is pretty dusty and black REALLY shows dust and imperfections. Does anyone know of a paint booth that I could rent for a day, or overnight, or for a weekend? It wouldn't need to be a booth I guess, as long as it's an area in a shop that's been kept super-clean for painting. Basically anything is better than what I have right now. I could probably line up some help and get it painted all in one (long) night if needed. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks in advance, Jake 701-799-0322

    First of all, are you getting spark on all 4 cylinders? Pull each plug out, and start the car, hold the plug up against the block and see if it sparks. Be careful however, since it will hurt if you shock yourself. Also, is it throwing any codes? If so, you need to get a code reader and pull the codes. Start there, and let us know.

    Sounds like you threw off or broke your alternator belt. I'd check that first.

I did that, like i tied the lights into the headlight fuse, and the one that powers the gauge needs to be on something that is switched so i tied that one into the power window fuse because that is one of very few that one powers when you turn the car on, or to accesory.

    Make sure you are letting them know it's for an AWD, Driver's side with equal length system. Advance #6751 with ABS or #7927 w/o ABS. $80 for the axle minus core charge. Wiz
