Exactly, automatic tensioners are superior in every way. I hate using a tension gauge every year due to belt stretch.

Anyone in the LA area want my front wheel bearings? Thought they were bad but turns out theyre good. Thought I'd ask here before I toss em.

Sounds like a "fun" project ! Please post plenty of pictures and step-by-step instructions for others to follow.

use tape above the arc body line so you can make a sharp line

and use a metal spreader Instead of plastic they come in bigger sizes and easier to apply the filler smoother ( for me it is :] )

Sand the top of the arc with 150 so the extra filler will grab some what
Either way you have to finish the filler at least to 150 to prime



overlap the tape 2xs so after you spread the filler you can remove 1 layer of tape and have a clean a$$ line then just block awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Budget cuts in my city means I lost my daily, and with that I need one vehicle that can do it all. It's time for a 4x4 with a pickup bed in the rear.

El Camino body with a modern AWD chassis perhaps?
