Did u end up using the whole kit?If not what's the shelf life of the left overs do u know?
I recommend mixing about 8 oz at a time or so.
Used 16 the first round - wife had a tray with 8; and I had one with 8.

After it dried there were a few spots I had to sand down and reapply - and did so about a week or so later; but I added the catalyst to the remaining 16 - only needed a few ounces - the rest had hardened in the can! So I think if you keep them separate; the shelf life would be much longer.

Nice keeper. My old 83 had that solid lifter V6 2.8 What a hotrod. With 8 x 15 steel wheels & "VR' tires" plus some 4WD caster adjusters, this thing regularly served the 911s' in the hills. The dirty looks I used to get from those Porsche drivers when I hauled pass their imported butts. Other than the fast tires & negative camber, it was all stock. As far as one could tell that is

Just a little black touch-up needed on the windshield frame.
Does the AC work?
Right now, how fast can it go down the highway?

AC does not work - was converted to 134 in 2011(way before I owned it) so I might see if a recharge does the trick. It’ll go up to 75 but it’s not happy about it - did it the day I bought it forgetting how 80s vehicles are geared for 55 🤣 55-65 is it’s happy place.

Just put it up for sale so hopefully it finds a good home.

Right. You said no AC in post 1.
Get an LMC truck catalog for the glove compartment.
