| − | *Use proper techniques for removing old or rusted bolts. See [[Removing rusted and broken fasteners]].
| + | |
| − | *To protect painted bolts, place a sandwich bag over the bolt head before pushing on the socket.
| + | |
| − | *When aligning a body part that will require a lot of loosening and tightening, use mock-up bolts with plastic washers. When the panel fit is perfect, go back and change out the bolts one by one.
| + | |
| − | *When disassembling parts or vehicles, be organized. Plastic bags, tape, and a magic marker are essential.
| + | |
| − | **Write notes on a piece of tape, and stick the piece of tape to a part.
| + | |
| − | **Put small parts, nuts, bolts, clips, etc. in bags together for each assembly. Mark each bag.
| + | |
| − | **Tape nuts and bolts into their holes, or tape them to their part. Write notes on the tape.
| + | |
| − | *Socket sets with plastic inserts may be useful for protecting bolt heads. However, they are reported to strip out easily.
| + | |
| − | *Use a squirt can for dispensing small amounts of lacquer thinner.
| + | |
| − | *When hanging panels by yourself, use proper balancing and alignment techniques. For more information, see this discussion from the Hotrodders Bulletin Board: [http://hotrodders.com/forum/tip-day-40-hanging-panels-yourself-77875.html Hanging panels by yourself].
| + | |
| − | *To protect edges or corners during panel installation, use vacuum line or fuel line hose. Cut it down the middle, and tape it on.
| + | |
| − | *To hold nuts in a socket while assembling hard-to-reach body and exterior components, use masking tape stuffed in the socket -- sticky side out. Similarly, bearing grease can be placed on a washer to hold it to a socket for re-assembling parts.
| + | |
| − | *When disassembling small hard-to-reach parts, use grease in the socket to prevent losing fasteners.
| + | |
| − | *Use caution when installing hood springs. For more information, and a diagram, see Brian Martin's article posted on the Hotrodders Bulletin Board: [http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/tip-day-28-hood-spring-installation-74269.html Hood spring installation].

| − | *For precise application of penetrating oil, put the oil in a hand spray bottle, and set the nozzle to a stream. This technique also prevents the release of fisheye causing aerosols into the air.
| + | |
| − | *For drilling out hard-to-reach spot welds, certain drill attachments (like paint stirring tools) may be able to be modified to work as extensions.
