    Good stuf Bro, it combats corrosion between the seams when you weld 2 pieces together. Spray it on the weld areas of the 2 pieces you want to weld together, clamp and weld. Its made of zinc and it nutralizes the o2 produced from the heat caused by welding. I get it at NAPA for 3 bucks a can. Then I clean the welds and aply SEM Chassis saver. Bullit proof stuff and cheaper than Poor 15. Sand and Paint.:dance:

    Put a radiator overflow tank on it that came off a 1991 Mercury Capri, and put a new windshield washer pump in the washer fluid holding tank, sanded down the console a bit more, soon may even get to paint the console, did more "traction test" and it failed.

    Spent most of the day matching the intake ports on my intake 1/32" smaller al the way around than the intake ports on the TF-R heads and also matched the 1" carb spacer along with cleaning up the runners. Aluminum chips and dust everywhere.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Sounds like so much fun :thumbs2:



    Didn't do any work the mav today, just went to the junkyard and pulled a pair of axles for a customers truck.

    Also there was a V8 falcon there, so I finally scored a pair of frame mounts for $8 :) vs having to pay $150 for the reproductions.

    I wanted to stick with the 6, but it just cost too much to make it fast. Plus the Falcon was originally a 289 car so it'll probably increase the value to throw a V8 in there.
