    Mach 1 with 460 takes too much gasoline!

    With my built 408 Cleveland I was getting 6-8 miles per gallon. I did a cam swap and more tuning and have been able to get 12. If you wanna play , you gotta pay.

    How not to move your vehicle

    We had a guy recently but an atv from my son. He showed up with a car , looked over the quad and handed us the money. We asked are you coming back with a truck? He said nope, gonna strap it to the roof!! Lol. It was hilarious watching this guy drink beer and load the quad onto his car. He...

    351C & C4 vacuum question

    I originally had a big mutha thumper cam and it was absolute garbage in every way. I actually went with a little bigger cam with more lobe separation and my motor ran REALLY well! I love my stroker 408. Great street manner and it pulls like a freight train clear past 6800rpm. I have rev limit...

    $20k-$30k for a paint job?

    I agree. Cost of good materials is crazy. A few years ago I painted a grabber yellow Mach 1 and 1 gallon of PPG DBC base coat was just under $1,000. That’s was just the paint nothing else. We had around $5,000 total in materials to paint that car.

    What did you do to your car today?

    The master cylinders are different from drum to disc but the drum brake master can be used. I swapped out my front drum brakes over 10 years ago with factory discs up front and never changed anything else. They have been working fine for probably 15,000 miles or more with same pads. I have the...

    My 71 J code drag-pack

    Not Mach 1 interior. Deluxe interior. Any car could be ordered with deluxe interior. Many Mach 1 have standard interior. It’s all in what was ordered.

    Trunk replacement without cutting it in pieces

    If you have the shorter repop, it will fit through the trunk lid opening. It’s tight and has to go in at an angle but it’s doable. I did my own that way.

    Rotors? Which to choose?

    I am running front drilled and slotted rotors from ebay on my car for the past 10 years or so with 0 issues. I really like the look of them and they havent rusted a bit.

    Paint work, costs... Yucky

    What paint are you using that only costs $220 a gallon? I would be looking at a better quality paint. Since you can do the work yourself, don't skimp on the quality of the materials. I really like PPG products. The last gallon of PPG DBC basecoat in grabber yellow that I bought was a little...
