I was trying to figure out what a frenched door handle looked like. Might actually be a cool idea, put it into the body an inch or two? Eh, maybe. :D
I got mine out from a carport in a backyard. Does that count?
It's gettin' there. [IMG] [IMG]
I manage a parts store. It's not going to be getting much better with the amount of money we usually are allowed to offer people. It's a shame,...
You are a scholar and a gentleman, sir. I thank you.
I need to figure out what tooth gear I need to get an accurate speedometer reading. I'm running a th350 with 205/75R15s and what I believe are 355...
Nice collection.
How did you "rat" it out? Fake Patina? Sounds cool with a K. Anywho, drop blocks in the rear, and torch the springs.
Well, I won't be having this problem any more. New sending unit is in and working. Woohoo, 2 outta 3 gauges ain't bad!

I nearly had a BAD accident 2 months ago when the car gave way. Luckily I had 1 solitary jackstand under it,and the bottom ended up about a...
Ha! That's great. I think the only person who my car is worth anything to is me, so I probably don't have to worry about it.

That is a nasty suprise for ya. Glad you're alright.
I've had a few convertibles and they can be fun. When it isn't 110 degrees outside and you aren't being blinded by the sun, which is most of the...
Keep an eye on the Parts Forum on here, egay, and maybe even craigslist. They'll pop up sooner or later. Hit some swap meets. It's getting to be...
BIG improvement.
Glad you plan on restoring it. Something that badass shouldn't be allowed to deteriorate just because rust is the new "paint." :rolleyes: Good...

Wheel Vintiques 15" steelies painted gloss black with 205/75R15 Coker wide whites, chrome trim rings and spider caps. Just put them on this week...
Thanks man. It's gettin' there.
