    Hi Brian I just found your email in regard to the AG 111. I don't know if you have moved I hope it went smoothly. We moved recently after 30 years it was quite a job. The AG 111 comes in gloss black, satin black, white, red and gray. I like for you to play with this stuff I think you will really be impressed. It's also available in the clear will over your existing colors which is kind of cool. Send you are new address to pmmasterseries@gmail.com and what color you would like. Again good luck on the move and keep up the good work

    Hello Brian I noticed the deadbody man hasn't posted anything in a while. I haven't been following for a while and I was wondering if he was okay. Thanks Pat

    Hello, I spoke with Evercoat tech support, he advised that when I apply the Uro-fill, there is no need for another coat of epoxy primer, as the Uro-fill acts as a sealer and will be easier to sand then the epoxy primer. What are your thoughts?
    Thank you!!

    Okay thank you. One of the reasons for the epoxy is that I live in Canada, so high humidity and crazy temp changes are the norm. Also, once the high build is applied and the final block sanding is done, if i sand through the highbuild, the epoxy will prevent from exposing bare metal. another question, I have two high builds, both from Evercoat, one is a polyester (finish sand), the other is the urethane (uro fill). Any thoughts?

    Thank you again, and will call tech line shortly!!

    Hello, I was hoping to pick your knowledge base regarding epoxy primer over filler. Here is what I have done so far, and what my thoughts are. I had the truck/panels sandblasted, cleaned thoroughly, sprayed 2x with epoxy primer. Bondo filler filler applied, block sanded. At this stage, during the block sanding I have gone down to bare metal in some spots. Before I shoot with high build, i was wanting to re-apply epoxy (to cover the bare metal), then shoot the high build and go from there. Do you see anything wrong with this? and do you have any words of wisdom?

    thank you for your time!!

    I have no idea.......I looked at the admin panel and it says I closed it. I did not, as a metter of fact I hadnt even looked at the thread until now. This has happened once before with me. I think its a glitch in the software or something. I reopened it.
    thanks

    Good morning Brian.
    I'd like to get your opinion on some bodywork and paint that I've gotten an estimate for on my wife's 2013 Jetta wagon. The bodyshop claims they have to hire a glass shop to come out and remove the small back window in the photo and have them come back and reinstall it after they've painted it. They also want to remove all the chrome molding along the roof line. I can understand them wanting to paint the whole rear bumper and quarter panel, rocker and roof line above the doors all the way to the windshield to keep from having to blend the paint but it seems removing the window seems a little excessive. The quote I got for fixing the small dents by the tail light and paint, including R&R-ing the window is a little over $1400.. I know paint is expensive but it doesn't seem there's really a need for taking the window out etc.. Whadya think?

    Cool picture, always allows the imagination to run wild on what's going on with the vehicle "on the trailer"! I remember working on a 53 MG many years ago, some rotten wood structure and the aluminum body was quite a challenge. The best I can remember the customer was very happy with all the repairs that were done and happy to pay the final bill. I think at that time the total job was just under $500.00, ah the good ole days. Today as you are well aware that wouldn't even pay for the primer! Happy to say I have stuck it out all these years doing what I enjoy the most, a little paint, body, frame repair/fabrication. I have a little 800 square shop to play in away from my house, keeps the neighbors happy! Always enjoy your posts and point of view! Have a great day

    Those Trivia pics really bugged me trying to remember and I thought I seen them on some radiators. So I started searching on line and found them and I was right. They are a type of adapter fitting for trans cooler lines. I remember them coming with a few new or reman. radiators fom time to time. I don't remember why they have both ends flared though.

    Hello Brian
    I went to the sight you told me about. And they all seem to think that it won't work. The only direct fit to my 51 frame is a 1950 frame or another 51. So i'm on the hunt. Thanks so much for helping me. I believe you saved me alot of headach. Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year!!
