    351 4v ( 408 and TKX )

    That is so cool. Had to notch the one end to clear the garage door? Free advertising for the site! VIP for sure!

    Totalled's rebuild thread

    Looks great. Just a quick tip. Those flat brackets paint very nice if you hang them from a metal coat hangar or stiff wire. No fear of the cardboard sticking when you flip them over to paint the back side.

    Coupe Rear Glass Area Designed To Rot

    I can attest to the fact that 1968-1972 Pontiac GTO. Lemans all had this same issue. The rear glass would hold the water in the corners! And every one had rust in the corners. If you were lucky you catch it early before rust through. Pull the glass, fix the area, re-install the glass. Then once...

    my boredom lead to ebay

    What I was trying to say Ray, is if I wanted to buy a new muscle car, this one sure appears to be completely new-like. It is not factory and that is what i really like about cuda's attention to detail. Way better at spotting things like that than most people I have seen. Me if I had the money...

    my boredom lead to ebay

    cuda, I always respect your attention to detail. And I cannot disagree with your assessment and analysis of this listing. However, if I was to do a full blown restoration on a similar car (say a Q code Mach 1). I would have to say that I could end up spending this amount of money in parts and...

    1971 coupe, only 3 things wrong with it.

    Good catch and probably correct assessment!

    1971 coupe, only 3 things wrong with it.

    Yes, but I think the seller was thinking of patches as get an old sign, cut it up, and fiberglass it down onto the trunk floor. Easy "patch" method is fill the hole with greatstuff, trim it, and spray trunk spatter paint or undercoating to cover. So this only counts as one thing.

    73 Mach ...or is it?

    The front valance on the first has no signal lights, the second has them. The seats appear to be different. The first car has a window sticker, the second does not. It is sort of like that game you see in the paper. Two pictures and you are supposed to spot the differences! This could be fun.

    Titles how do they work in the US

    So you were charged with a felony for a title delay and now they get to prevent you from exercising your 2nd amendment right? I live in NC and I bought my daughter's F150 that had a bunch of signatures on the title. What made the transfer work was the original title owner was in-person with us...

    351 4v ( 408 and TKX )

    Nice, but I want to see the 351-4V. Did you get it finished yet? It was a long time ago from the original post. Looks like a nice car. Is this just the first of many posts to get us up to date?

    Titles how do they work in the US

    I have bought vehicles that had the original owner signed on the title, then the new owner signed, and then a third owner signed, and finally came to me. It was a PITA, but it was still a clean title because all the signatures and notaries affixed to the title. So yes, the title can go from 1 to...

    um... you just have to read this one for effect

    Oh crap, just noticed the screws. Think it is a HOT car? Or some coupe that had a salvage title or lost title? The seller (or previous owner) thought it easier to move the VIN from a junked sportsroof?
  13. 1973grandeklar

    um... you just have to read this one for effect

    So is the seller suggesting that the sportsroof was removed and the car was converted to a coupe? He is not suggesting that the VIN was changed? He does realize that this would be illegal? Then again, I could take this to the DMV and they would not know the difference. Most of the local shops...

    Titles how do they work in the US

    The same "government worker" who will nitpick the title signatures because the date is illegible and make you go back to the owner and get another notarized signature. Then because of your over-reaction had to drive an hour away to go to another licensing office (because you were kicked out of...

    Look what followed me home!

    Here is what the roof looks like from inside the car: New plan!!! I am putting the 1973 Grande on hiatus. I have not attached the cowl yet and I have not removed any of the suspension, so it still rolls. I am going to put the front fenders on (with about two bolts), put any other metal...

    Help with 351W timing chain gears

    Got it installed correctly! The two piece eccentric is thinner: It measures 0.690" combined with the thicker hub height, this easily clears the timing cover. the timing gear has a mounting pad that the center part of the eccentric mounts to. The outer part of the eccentric freely spins...

    1971 coupe

    Better there under the hood than plastered on the windows or fenders. I do like that blue color.

    Hampton Roads Coupe

    this is the catch all in the ad; "for someone with the time and money to restore it the right way". Doesn't every car fall into this catagory? I can restore a Mustang from just a Vin tag and title with enough time and money!

    Doin the Sport Grill Warp

    This always depends on wether the plastic is a thermoplactic or a thermoset. Typically, car stuff is thermoplastic and can be re-melted/softened. Some of the underhood stuff is thermoset and cannot be re-melted/softened. Fiberglass that uses a hardener is a thermoset type.. If your spoiler is a...
