In the Kingdom of Rattle Can Painters... there are Many Legends....

... but only one King!

And while he may have been off making those silly 60's Pooch de Ville Movies the last few weeks, he has returned to form today in his own 2018 Comeback Special!
(Tony, and a few others my get my wacked references here.. maybe not!)
Anywho... I bead blasted, primed, and painted a valve cover set, front and rear THM trans inspection pan and this balancer going to Australia as soon as the paint cures.
My Acetone dip... 20-20-20-20 methods still works like charm. Weather reached 70 and had perfect skies and the pollen and bugs have not taken over so it was near perfect outside painting weather. Here's a couple of pieces From Da King:

Jason, I'm sorry didn't even consider that. Mainly because I don't expect anything or any respons to what I post.

I really appreciate your post. And all other posts you make. This Website is the starting point when I go online. I read it all.

Thank you Jason and a happy eastern to you and your familj  

Since we are talking about engine painting, here are 3 Engine Painting Help page articles to check out:
- Engine Paint Colors 
-
Engine Painting Tips 
-
Engine Paint: Bill Hirsch vs Seymour Cadillac Blue

Nothing prettier than a good old fashioned "aerosol overhaul! "

Tony, As noted in the very 1st line of the Help Page article with the link to the Engine Painting Tips article, this was covered in the Nov-Dec 2012 Chapter Newsletter. In fact both Engine Paint Colors and Engine Painting Tips was included. The only additional information I could add would be what I have stated, in that I have decreased my respray window from 30 to 45 minutes to 20 minutes, but still feel the 30 to 45 minute time is fine for respray before the critical wrinkling timeframe starts... usually within 1 to 2 hrs of the last coat. If a Chapter Member wants to provide an detailed account of there technique I would love to include it, but I would be almost repeating myself verbatim if I did another Engine Repaint Tips article, with again, the additional note about bumping up the respray timeframe if the paint you are using tacks well within that timeframe.

...and I was making those silly Priscilla & Presley Roundabout movies... ah, er videos ... last week. Perhaps that was my equivalent to Spinout, Speedway or Viva Las Vega.. ya k now.. those Elvis racing flicks.. but in this case I didn't crash the car, got the girl (Priscilla) and the boy (Presley), .. but in the end, the rattle can king put down his camera, and got off his porcelain thrown, and made a miraculous comeback in the world of Shake Rattle Can & Roll!
Yeah, Babby. Now where's my nanner nut dog samwich?

Hey That would make a good trivia question. What movie did the King of Nascar make a guest appearance in a King of Hip Jiggle/Car Racin/Gettin' the Girl movie?

Speedway - 1968. What do I win? Lol!

Yep, Greg wins....

Elvis was paid $850,000 plus 50% of the profits.[1]

Filming began on 26 June 1967.

Scenes were shot at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. The film features guest appearances by several of the top stock-car—better known now as NASCAR—drivers of the day including Richard Petty, Buddy Baker, Cale Yarborough, Tiny Lund and more. They were shown individually with their names in the film's opening credits.

This would be the final "formula" musical film of Presley's career. His remaining films would be less musical and more adult in tone.

Steve Grayson's generosity portrayed in the film was based loosely on Elvis' real-life generosity, in which Elvis would give cars, homes, and other expensive items to Memphis Mafia members, family and friends, and even total strangers. This film is also loosely based on Colonel Tom Parker and his real life gambling habits and the money he continually siphoned from Elvis.

Congrats! You win a Nanner Nut Dog!!.. or three!!!

The King of Rock N Roll like fried peanut butter banana sandwiches.
The King of Rattle cans liked his own invention  and take off of it - The Nanner Nut Dog - A banana, caked with low fat peanut butter, rolled with flat bread ... hench the world famous (at least in my mind) Nanner Nut Dog.

I sure hope the wife and i get to sample some North Carolina Cuisine as per the photo on arrival in downtown Raleigh. Hmmm.... well.... :-)

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration

Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns. 

There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
