    1971 WTH is that

    Looks to me the car was chopped and someone tried to pick a windshield that fit height wise, however did NOT fit the body lines on the sides. In my opinion the car needs a lot of work however i can see it could be more appealing to non purest with the nose redesigned, side flares removed or at...

    Barn finds that YOU found

    My recent "Barn Find" was after a guy at the auto parts store told me he met a lady that had a 56 Cadillac and her husband passed away after buying the car from the original owner and letting it sit untouched in over 25+ years. She wanted it gone because she was paying a $75 storage locker bill...

    Media Blasting

    I used the black diamond aggressive blast material on the structure of my car and was happy with how it preformed, it can be bought in a 50lf bag at northern tool at a reasonable price. Looks like you got a nice project ahead of you, good luck.

    Not a happy camper right now......really down!

    Man I feel your pain been there before, A lot of others stated above that from my experience it can be engine and or trans mounts not aligning up or like showed below from running solid mounts, vibrations and putting stress on the drivetrain. The way it cracked looks like it is from stress from...

    Powerful cars are not for kids

    +1 on the go karts, racing and going fast in a more controlled safer environment to learn and take smaller steps on handling and control before jumping right onto the street with something that is way over your head. Dirt is one of the best ways to learn throttle and overall control of a...

    mounting to the Rotisserie

    I went to the front bumper mounts in the front and then made my own brackets that use the shackle mounts in the rear and drop down to square tubing for the rear. Its nice to do the rear on the shackle mounts because you can get all around the whole area while prepping the body.

    UnderBody Work | Need new floor pans and inner rocker panels - advice?

    I would say if the doors close ok now and the gaps look good you should be alright as I don't know maybe someone here can give you some measurements convertibles to check. As far as measurements after as long as the person doing the work supports the car before cutting you should be ok as it...

    UnderBody Work | Need new floor pans and inner rocker panels - advice?

    I did full floor pans driver side and passenger side in my fastback along with one rocker panel and it took me around 35-40 hours if you want another estimate on time and pictures in my build thread on this site. I used mustang coupe seat pans and modified them to fit the fastback as they sat up...

    Anyone here know of a good, one-run vinyl decal shop?

    Kurt, try http://www.racinggraphics.com I have used them on a circle track car on numerous times. Their prices are reasonable and have a quality product. If you go to the packages area and pick a random race car you can just upload an image and set all dimensions and effects and it also gives...

    floorpan support

    There should be spot welds form support to the floor pan flush and yes your probably right it sounds like someone that replaced the floor pan probably cut it a little too short and didn't match the arch perfectly leaving the gap in between the pan and the support.

    Heat Wrapping Headers?

    I tried it once and it seemed the header wrap seemed to pick up and hold all dirt / grease and was the hardest thing to keep clean under the hood, so I would be careful if this car is a driver.

    How serious can this be

    If you have decent welding skills and you plan on pulling the engine then i think replacing it is the way to go. I replaced one on a 72 someone decided to put a bolt in one for removing the oil pan on a bracket car. I went through the forum here and a member had one off a parts car that i got...

    C4 transmission plug identification

    I have lost the plug on my transmission while rebuilding it that is inside the red box on this picture and it looks to me like it is just a normal plug. Does anyone know if it is some kind of special part that has to be in that hole or just a standard plug to stop ATF from leaking out? thanks\
