Yeah, I got one of those Eastwood chassis kits, with a couple pints of Corrolless (sp?) and about 6 rattle-cans of chassis black. I bought it for a vette that I was going to put back together, but now I think I'll use it on my '67 pickup. Can anyone confirm that the Corrolless product is the same

Anyone know of a good auto painting book? I did some

fix a pretty nice dent in the lower quarter panel. I have to torch it out and
weld a new piece in and Im not sure I know how to feather the surrounding

Joe,
If you want a concourse quality job, then it would be best to go to someone who
