    Part 2 of Don's Mk IV Build

    To answer your question Kevin, the original body shop did the repaint and graphics. They called me out for the second time saying the car was done and I had found two other body shops that gave estimates to paint the graphics. Wanting to be fair with the current body shop I showed them the...

    Mike S. at this point Vinyl is my last choice, I really wanted painted graphic and should be able to get there. Its only time and money, right. Mike T. I understand why you like the color and I'm with you. Jack I'm with you. In five years the vinyl will not look the same as painted stripes...

    <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--> Mike, its clear coated, buffed & polished which makes it very shiny if you get close. Very interesting 1966 Ford color that seems to change dependent on lighting. I like it...

    Knock Knock

    Robert, From what you have described, loud knocking noise, it makes me believe its something related with the rotating assembly, piston, rod or main bearing. If you are convinced it's internal engine noise and not balancer or flywheel/clutch noise I would start by pulling the spark plugs just...

    Mike & Jimmy, I would agree with you that the two wider stripes look better but it will not change my mind what I will have on my car. I committed a long time ago to make a copy of the number 3 car. I totally understand that not everyone would be doing what I have committed to with respect to...
