Cool. Nice write-up. I just thought about the map light last week. I only have a block off plate instead of the light but now I can use your method.

Wasn't a big deal to make it. I only used some sanding blocks, epoxy and a snip to cut a the plastic for the front then sand it to shape. It can be much easier with the specific tools for plastic fabrication but I didn't wanted to waste money for tools I'd only use once.  Also this is the...

Just finished the chrome details. If someone's having trouble with the chrome  lining this works pretty well. https://www.walmart.com/ip/CHARTPAK-INC-703102-MOLOTOW-LIQUID-CHROME-PUMP-MARKER-2MM/536663923?

My long console was such a bad shape beyond repairable so I've fabricated a short one from it. I'd cut the front section from the bottom side of the armrest section which has the same angle like the rest of the console all around so it was a pretty easy job with basic hand tools. I thought I'd...

Thanks, I'm thinking about this package (https://www.classiccarstereos.com/1969-1973-mustang-kicker-stereo-kit.html) with KS speakers, 5ch amp and "10 sub. The reason I'm asking about the lack of sub is because like you I think nothing replaces the sound of a hot rod so I never listen music in...

I'm about to put a complete stereo system in my car since I have nothing at this moment. I want to get some quality speakers and a good amp but have some confusions about the subwoofer. Do I really need subwoofer to achieve a nice sound? I don't want to pump that bass like some people you...

Thanks. Basically the exhaust line would be the same except that quarter increase in the size of the muffler. I double checked the manufacturer and they said you can use their 2.5 mufflers with a 2.25 system. Probably .25 inch wouldn't hurt. The mufflers are from...

I'd like to swap my mufflers but the brand I want to get only offers 2.5" diameter mufflers. My pipes are 2.25". Would it be ok to use muffler/pipe adapter from 2.25 to 2.5 for the inlets and outlets? Would be a 1/4" larger muffler with stock size pipes make difference on anything? Bottom...

Absolutely. That's how I approach it..do it righ..so I want to replace the whole thing sooner or later. But since this is the only car I have I need a temporary fix to get back on the road asap.

Thanks guys. I also had that idea to cut it right after the bottom bend because of the kink and since I dropped the new radiator in that line is a little bit short. I've cut the zip tie after the bottom bend to make it fit but since it's broke I put the zip tie back on and it sits about 1-1/5"...

I was about to replace my radiator when the transmission cooler line's nut has broken in half. Now it's leaking of course. Is there any way to repair it or a whole whole new cooling line is the only solution?

***Update*** Is this weird? I swapped the battery with a new one. Headlights working now, always clicking when I turn the key but still no start (solenoid) BUT after that I put my old battery back with the bad cell. Headlights are back and it fired up right after I turned the key.

I already thought about upgrading the battery cables even before this issue. So I'd only need this cable set or should I add another extra ground cable to the chassis? If this set is enough the small clip with the red arrow goes under the voltage regulator and the end if the cable goes to the...

I cannot check it now but if I'm not mistaken I have two negative wire from the battery. One to the block and the another also to the block at the top under my coil.

Sorry I replaced the terminal actually.

I haven't cleaned it just replaced the negative post. When I took the battery to a local Autozone they tested and the voltage is good. BUT has a bad cell. Can it cause to whole no power issue? If yes what about the failed jump. starts? We couldn't jump it with another car, no lights etc with the...

 Yes. One from the battery but nothing on the regulator. If I want to make a ground where should I connect the another end? One to the regulator and one...? If it would be a ground problem could it happen in just 30 sec./1 min? I mean I just went home stopped the car then after around a minute...
