Yeah that is what I thought initially too.... Once I got the drum off it was def gear oil. I will have to check that. Stupid question but the...
I was like wait a minute, this looks familiar! I know Elliott and saw these on Facebook. I’m 28 so not too much older than him. Great writeup
Thanks! I think it was set to idle way too rich. The annoying thing about this setup is it’s almost impossible to reach the idle mixture screws...
Just a quick update: rebuild the outside carbs which were even more gummed up than the center carb. [ATTACH] Somehow lost the cobbled together...
Just stopping by to say this thing is BEAUTIFUL. I want a forward look mopar someday.
Nice progress! When you start driving it to class, work etc you will be the king of the parking lot.
The way the paint/bondo flaked off the lower half of the car is super weird. It was originally a slightly lighter shade of turquoise, then...
Thanks! I really need to get my hands on a shop manual. Good info about the wiper motor. So far here is what does work: - power windows (rear 2...
Woke up this morning and drove down to Atlanta to cars and coffee! I really have got to look into the wipers not working. That and the dash lights...
Bump for interest because I’m in Woodstock.
Ya know I hadn’t even thought about that. I believe we use ATK/ironclad for engines, I’ll have to look tomorrow but I’d be surprised if we could...
Plugs were gapped correctly last night once I realized what was going on. .035 is the right gap correct? Looking at the carb today. Pretty fun...
Thanks! I just finished reading the Edsel thread earlier. Great progress
Yessir I’m too ADHD to complete the story I guess but all brake lines wheel cylinders and hoses are now new and it has a 1968 dual chamber master...
What's going on guys. I used to lurk this forum all the time when I was in high school and read a lot about everyone's projects. Went to register...
After reading through about 10 pages, I think I win the absolute worst learning-to-drive story: 2006 Toyota Sienna, in a Wal-Mart parking lot.
If you want him to win, I remember I painstakingly cut a Lamborghini Countach out of my block of wood... must have been aerodynamic or something! :D
A friend and coworker of my mother's would come by our house a lot in various interesting cars. When I was in the first grade, I got to bring a...
Thanks! The one downside of it never having been done much before is a lack of sources for inspiration... LOL. I was thinking any color but pale...
I'm 16 (17 in february) and working with what I've got -- a 1979 Lincoln coupe. It's pretty slow going; I like to tinker but have practically zero...
I was trying to do something car-related but all I had was a steak knife... so I had to go buy a new pumpkin and do something very simple.... hey,...
The Crimson Armada, Hester Prynne, Bury Your Dead, etc. Not everyone's cup of tea but for some reason I like having ambient music that's really...
That's awesome! Thanks! :D That isn't off of the picture I gave you is it? I don't know how you would have been able to make the after pic with...
I'm not really sure what direction I want to go in other than lowering it (wheels? paint?) so if one of y'all wants to have fun with this, I'd...
thanks everyone!
Hey everyone! Been lurking for a very long time and thought I might as well join. Even though my car isn't quite old enough or radical enough...
True that. Had the car not been free (grandpa's, he died, sat since 1993) I might not have been able to afford the gas! While not a big city,...
Easy for me to find pics of my first car... I don't even have my license yet! 41 days. Yes, I'm counting. I know it isn't exactly HAMB material...
