    quarter panels

    man there are lots of shells available with much less rust. i'd be finding one. you'd better check the inner wheel well behind the seat trim while you are there.

    New motors sitting and fogging oil? Expert opinions needed

    depends on how much tension either has lost. the risk with the valve springs is more as it could drop a valve. the rings wont hurt anything , but it could have an oil consumption problem as they most likely wont seat.

    New motors sitting and fogging oil? Expert opinions needed

    i have revived many an engine that hasnt been fogged, and a few that have, neither issue that ij stated would be affected by fogging it with oil. those are both storage problems that would occure either way, the surface rust that builds up on the cyl walls is affected by fogging it. id still...

    The "NOT SO GOOD" gas mileage thread

    #5 was 30 psi lower than the rest! you got a problem. and this could be the problem, you are using energy to drag a bad cyl around with you. do a leakdown test. with no other symptoms id say valve issues.

    alternator gone wack

    sounds like a engine ground or wiring issue, both will overheat an alternator. either that or a cheap replacement part(vatozone or carquest should be avoided for electrical parts, in my experience they only sell cheaply remanned stuff)
