    Lokar kick down cable

    Used 3 kits from them. All were jokes. First one, for FMX kickdown, the cable with provided kit could never be tensioned properly, probably why many have issues online to have them right. I even provided a drawing of the part that needed be done to have the ideal play. Second one, bought because...

    351 C Looking for finned aluminum valve covers

    @Sheriff41 , nice pieces, love them! Do you know if there is a polished version somewhere? I'm about to buy a new set as my good 'ol chinese cheapo chrome ones are starting to show age (and rust). I was thinking of buying these aluminium fabricated ones, affordable...

    Power window (passenger) won’t go up

    I bought these dogs/pellets/bushings (somehow nobody seems to agree on how to call these ears plugs :) ) I restored both my 71 and while the electrics were as new, the moment I pulled out the gear, all I saw was pieces in grease. At first ordered these kits with the 3 per motors by NPD or...

    Gird your loins people....

    @Cleveland Crush "look like breasts... The "channelling" (I believe this is called) combo with the pinstriping wasn't indeed the best design decision :D Saw another poor baby yesterday... Another project that ended as soon as complications showed up. Bit pity it's a rat car lovers who found...

    Gird your loins people....

    That's horrific! A friend of mine has saved one from crusher that had been butchered "testarossa style" in the 80's. All metal.

    FMX swop for AOD

    @MaddMike Regarding your question for the shifter. If of any use. For the AOD swap from an FMX, there are 2 important points for the shifter to fit perfectly. First on the trans side, you need make sure the lever is on top as otherwise P becomes 1. Not sure if the 4r70w was mounted in different...

    Fabrice's 429CJ 71 project

    A nice long weekend! Some go to the beach, go places, others sweat! :D It's been a while I come across issues with parts being too wide or too long and decided to remedy this. As I have a series of long parts to come, started the weekend by making a more suitable container for these using PVC...

    Yes, these are on A pilar they go on vertically after the long rail for the weatherstrip that goes all the back back. A screew at the base and then a clip/lip and finally one screw that secures the long rail. You need insert it first before screw it where they overlap. Then you can install the...

    The dashboard chrome plastic experiment

    Hey guys, There was this week a topic on how to restore our dash/shifter chrome plastics... Because I'm doing some home plating for a while now, with pretty reasonable success on all kinds of parts using different metals, before I pick the way I will go to restore my 71's plastics, I wanted to...

    Aluminum trim restoration / anodizing services?

    May you do not find a dedicated trim restoration place, which is a really niched bizz. You could consider 2 different addresses. Classic chroming/plating shops have a great experience in polishing and dents/scratches fixes. Polishing the trim being the key for a nice result. It is also where the...

    Phone holder

    @tony-muscle "I used a combination of a magnet base, with an adapter and a phone clamp. " That's a pretty neat solution. Probably very stabile/strong too. @MooseStang, never thought of having the phone on top like this. @mrgmhale Pretty cool. I have myself butchered a new chinese 10.5 inch...

    Phone holder

    I'm curious about what kind of solution you came up with to hold your phones. The dash having this inverted angle vs newer cars limits the options. Since I've upgraded to a newer, bigger better, gooder phone with also a more heavy (batt). The thingy I was using with my old lighter phone fails...

    What did you do to your car today?

    Hey that's funny that this is today's topic. I just have ordered conductive paint not 15 mins ago! It's been ages that I want to try plating on plastic. Like everyone, got quite a few parts that could use a good bling bling. Not sure how that will go, but will surely post my findings!

    Fabrice's 429CJ 71 project

    Update time!! :D I did a bit of everything this past days... First finished the last bits done this winter: the second pane cake back window motor. Somehow putting back the arm spring has been quite a challenge while it went back easy on the first one. Also got scary moment: Nothing was...

    Fantastic @Vinnie! The frustrating part is that once the carpet is on, nobody knows or can appreciate the work done!! They should make transparent carpets! :D
