You know you're an old hotrod car guy when?

You know you're an old hotrod car guy when your list of fine automotive restoration products includes Comet and steal wool!

 

......and nobody else but a older guy knows what your talking about

Lets spend stupid $$$ on crap we saw on TV.....

 

Listen here you young whippersnapper, I've been using those products since I bought my first 49 Dodge in high school in 19 aught 58. Great on those 4" wide white walls and the bumpers. But I didn't steal my wool I used STEEL WOOl. #0000

 

Right old timer!

 

oh yeah.. been there a BUNCH of times! I remember painting the inside of the tail light buckets white because I couldnt afford a new one or have the old one replated!

that and using a tinkers hammer and a piece of old tire to knock dinks out of hubcaps and then hand polishing them with a shop angle buffer ..

 

Anyone else use Bon Ami to clean glass and convertible tops?

We made our own rust remover by mixing gasoline and motor oil; 0000 steel wool was the applicator pad!

 

You will of course forgive my ignorance. I am old, not educated.

 

you Guys must be really gettin up there as some of these things your talk about im kinda startin to think i aint crazeyanyway

 

That's because in the great scheme on things on this planet, you are upside down!
Geographically speaking, of course!
Geesh, Aussies!

 

You know you're an old car guy when you use chewing gum, baling wire and beer cans to fix them instead of duct tape, zip ties, and beer cans.

 

So, are you guys sayin that you don't bring your cars to Chip Fooseball or the West Coast Krustom's place to get fixin?

 

My dad used to make me scrub the white walls on his Caddy with an SOS pad, worked really good. Been using them for years on various car parts.

 

SOS pads are awesome, I allways keep a big box in the garage, and a can of pledge, simple green, and...........

 

If you can shift without a clutch. If you know how/why to double clutch.

 

Best darn cleaner for glass there is!!!!Non abrasive too...
