I would rather thrash a 4 banger econobox than drive a Corvette like that. It's kind of like saving on heating oil by setting your thermostat to 55. That really works too! ___________________________

You know, I can give you my opinion from here in NY, but I think this is something that you really want local expertise on. You can't be the first one to ever build in that area. Local contractors mu

What kind of MG do you have? I have an MGA and a Magnette. There is a tape/DVD around called "Doctor Doolin's MGB Total Engine Rebuild". Don't worry that it says MGB, they all have a LOT in common. A

I am not an expert either, but I think you are wrong in thinking that the only "real" HVLP setups have a special electric powered air source. I think that there are many HVLP guns in all price ranges

You know, there are ways to create that patina. Of course, it won't be the actual authentic original patina, but it will look the same and I won't tell. Here's one link: http://www.woodmagazine.com/m

Can't you just go to any paint or hardware store with a shaker and give the guy a few bucks to do it for you? It's automotive paint, so it's not like you bought it from their competitor instead of th

I agree. One thing, though, is that most TV antennas are designed to be directional. You point them toward the city where all the broadcasts come from. If your FM stations are scattered around then p

In my opinion, you'll never get the color to match. How it will look will depend on the number and location of the shingles to be replaced. And how prominent that "front and centre" location is. What

So, you're not sure if you're a jeep or an old ford? :-) Seriously, though, I think you're pushing your luck a bit. 3000miles/ 3 years is conservative and perhaps unnecessary. But 15K? I know you say
