On the subject of how-to articles, I have written one, but not posted it anywhere yet. Is there a place here I can do so? I do intend to write more as time goes on. Thanks!

Post it on the internet (your ISP for example) and link to it in this thread. You are in the right place as long as it is pre-67 type 2 related.

it is linked from the FAQ.

I think we could use a quick stupid question topic, so that people wouldn't need to start a new topic for every little question that could quickly be answered by those who have too much knowledge in their heads...

The how-to in that first link can be purchased from the author at revolks.com. I got it and thought it was pretty good.

This is just what I was looking for. Thanks scampervw and 2pack.

Anyone have any paint color recommendations that might be bought in a can?

Post UP!
It will safe a lot of research time for a lot of people and a lot of answers. Good Idea. It is a pity some of the links are not functionnal any more (i.e. clock repair).

Thanks!
