  1. Is the car tweaked or just the end of the rail? If it's the rail bent, I can chain it and pull it with a porta-power but you need to know if the car is tweaked. Easiest way is get it on a wheel alignment machine. If it's in alignment or close, then you just bend things back into place, if it's way put of alignment, then the car is tweaked and it will need put on a frame rack to properly pull it back into square. The quick and dirty way of finding out it to cross measure the car. Find two points behind the damage, and measure across to the other side at the back of the car, but those two points need to be parallel as well. spring perches, the rear axle its self, or something similar, the measurements should match, if not it's tweaked.

     

     

    +1 for Keith, If the end rail is bent or the car is slighted tweak, you can pull it out with a port-power or chains. I have been down this path on a few cars. At my dads shop and my shop when we poured the concrete floor, we made anchors in my floor to do such work. The key is to measure and measure everything. There are books that have the specifications. I have pulled several cars and once I was done, I took them a alignment rack to verify the work, and we done it correctly and the wheels didnt even need to be aligned.

     

    It can be done on a budget, if you dont have the tools, take to frame shop.

  2. Don't hold your breath. I've heard honda doens't discount much at all. Most i've talked to said they actually got more money taken off by haggling than the actual honda discount.

     

    Hondas aren't like fords or chevy's they hold value. how much did you get the SI for? when I was looking at civics, ones that were 1 -2 yrs old were only 1k under the price of a new one.

     

     

    It depends on which division of Honda you work for. Each has it own discounts plans. My buddy works for in a division(he is in IT) and he gets a great lease rate, that includes all maintenance(oil changes, etc, insurance) and my brother works at East Liberty(Welding Engineer) and he doesnt get the lease deal, but has a better buy option.

     

    By the Hoblick, that is a nice car.

  3. Rick, lets take the atv's out and play =]

     

     

    I cant, I took off work today to get ready for my son's birthday this weekend and in a few minutes I am off to Westerville for my daughters dance classes.

  4. what is the best way to applicate this stuff.

    i hear that its self leveling, and you can brush it on, but id rather spray it.

    but i also heard spraying it you have to thin it down too much.

     

     

    I brush it on. The stuff is very danagerous to breathe, more than paint. To spray it you would need to buy the the POR-15 solvent. It is different than the PPG/DuPont line.

  5. I buy my supply at Springfield Cars & parts in the spring. The only way to get the stuff is through their website or a distributor. This stuff works.

     

    I usually buy what is call the six pack. A six pack is 6 - 1/2 pint cans. The reason I buy it this way, once the can is opened the stuff drys fast and you could contaniate the entire batch. I figure if I ruin one batch, I just lost 1/6 of my supply. The six patch was around $34 and this should be enough to do your underside of your stang.

  6. Where to start... check out my signature, yes that is not a muscle car but a stock 69 427/390 horse 4-speed convertible corvette that is matching numbers and has 52,000 miles on it. The next car in the signature is my 87 corvette which is not a muscle car either.

     

    However, I do classify my 5.0 liter mustang a muscle car, what other cars in the late 80-early 90's that could haul a$$ other than some Z-28s/TAs, GNs. If this stuff doesnt qualify, how about my 78 Z-28 or my 69 Chevelle SS:) I can't post pictures of the 69 SS or Z-28 because I have them in pieces at the moment. I have owned the 69 SS for over 15 years.

     

    I love that Challenger.

  7. I went today and had a good time. I drove the 87 vette and saw a few others participating in their C4s. I loved the guy that was running a CT-R, it had some after market exhaust that sounded like a B&B. There was no-one there with a Fox body mustang. I was speaking to a guy that a 78-80 Malibu that was tricked out. The Malibu had a small block 406 with a 6 speed and was clean.

    I might have to enter a Auto x next year, I dont know if I would drive the C4 or the fox body.

     

    How did the CR participates do?
