as @giantpune said. Tho keep in mind that the casing is made of zamak/potmetal/zinc alloy. Meaning you can shave a tad too much very very easy and you can't really solder there to fix in case you'd go too far. No matter the option you pick, I would recommend to remove the casing holding the cyl...

How do you charge your phone then?? :D

It's alive... mmm I will believe it only once I've seen a vid with sound!! :D Very nice to see the progress going at an incredibly fast pace!

If you run a fuel pump (low pressure carb or EFI). One of the safe things to do is to install an inertia switch and while it may sound strange on this thread, the little guy can be used like kill switch for the fuel. A hidden line lock could do the same, making it even harder to load the car on...

Aside the basic circuit, if you have replaced the brake booster, keep in mind not every rod is equal. I had a problem (no brake lights) after replacing mine and fixed the problem as on the pict; I bet the same can occur if you've only replaced the switch...

Another weekend fighting the rust passed... Things like these: the driver side had no less than 4 of these dents, or on the B-pilar, where underneath a rubber one managed to somehow butcher the metal. How on earth can you even manage to make these??? Found and corrected many more in past...

A friend of mine went to the event and sent me a few picts of the 71-73 he saw there and some pricy NOS parts. So (with his permission), I share them with you guys. May be its one of yours!?

Mediocre repairs are promoted all over utube. I mean, even super stars like Derek, mc Cool, Dalton (which I love to watch btw) etc..., promote the quick ways to put a car back on the road. US roads that is. Over here, you would never pass the tech control, be able to insure these cars. The...

Not aware about any electrical connections that could change the way it works. There is nothing inside the trans that is connected to anything aside the one way switch that could be used to replace the safety switch in our cars. You mind sharing your answer?

Time for a little update Thanks to life, cold, a broken compressor and time spent learning new ways (for me) to form metal, nothing much been done or better said not at the expected pace... End of last year, I fixed the rear passenger floor mostly, but postponed the repair for the weak...

I’ve just rebuild mine. It’s not difficult but it is tedious, especially if you don’t want some quick repair beautified with tons of bondo. I have posted some steps of the repair in my build thread about 2 months ago may that be of a help. Another option is to look for a donor car, but from...

Welcome from the Netherlands Nice grandé!

From a European point of view, you guys are tasting what we taste forever. For over 30 years ordering by many US shops, never ever did I get a discount on shipping. I did get the 245 billions emails with free shipping offers tho ( all with small letters considering me as a second class customer...

I’ve cut the rubber, which were twice the thickness of the original ‘bumpers’. One of the very few repops that not only respected the original but were of superior finish (plating).

Looking sharp! I have red since start of the thread again, I see no info about the material used. is it 3D printed, laser cut, casted, hand cut plastic??

Pure sang! Welcome from the northern Netherlands

Just make sure it's not coming from mac antics. I got their "usa made super high quality" repop of the 429 shroud. The thing which they even dared to put a sticker of quality control on it, is a miserable POS! terrible quality.

Has the trans been "revised"? The KD lever should be spring loaded when free, easy to turn. If ok and trans worked before the revision, then it sounds as if the valves body has not been placed back properly, too loose or over torqued. If it doesn't seal properly to the casing, the ports (body to...

@Idaho Chris No talent here, just the need to move in a cold garage :D Note that for this specific piece, the "credit card - receive - bolt it" method would fail as this region of the floor is not sold anywhere, only full floor repros have this portion in them. Restoring and maintaining an...

I'd say buy some phosphoric acid, a few rolls of welding wire, few sheets of metal and cancel any weekends you had on planning! If you stick to your plan and do not cut corners, in the end, you will ride that green monster! oh and start a build thread so we can follow your progress! Welcome...
