I got the torch all ready to go!!
Ha ha and a pair of gripping pliers apparently, fuckers are stuck mighty tight.
For sure.
Forgot about McMaster, that would work. Unfortunately the hardware stores in my neck of the woods also suck, but McMaster may be the best solution.
Studs, and you are right, I think one or two of them do go into the water jacket, I'll put something on those. Bolts would just be easier to grab...
Is there any reason I can't just use an appropriately sized bolt? My local Lowes has Grade 8s, is there any reason why that wouldn't work?
Yup a 9/16. I bet they are a 3/8, thanks for the help.
I busted a few of these, and the rest are rusted enough that I figure it is a good idea to replace them. I think that they are 3/8, but I'm not...
This is more than puckering, I think, it is pretty twisted, and the back glass has even sharper corners so it won't even come close to staying on...
Is it possible to maybe use a hair dryer? I'm not sure if that would provide enough heat on the thick rubber, but it would be real useful for...
Very cool, and this is definitely a 2 man job, if I try to set the glass myself I can tell it will crack. Should I still cut and glue the rubber,...
You should have used KY, ha ha. Thanks for the help fellas, I should have taken that deep breath before I posted originally. Instead, I rolled...
The rant was not the important part, I should have put that at the end. It is what it is, the real question is will I have more than the usual...
The research I was doing indicated that it is less treacherous to install the rubber first. Either way, the corners would be an issue.
It's a heavy car (4 door). I'll pic one of those up with the new brake lines, thanks.
This is more what I call "Sea Foam", but I think it was the factory color, and the roof and part of the rear panel were either a white or a...
So I guess this is what passes for a model-specific replacement at oldmoparts.com. Several things piss me off about this (and I'll be shooting...
So I dropped the dual master cylinder in, bolted right up, just need to run separate lines out from each pot (and install a front disk conversion,...
More like SCOOPLESS.
Ha ha, that's why this post is even on here. As much as I hate to admit it, she is usually not far off the mark, where as I am definitely prone...
Scored this from Burt21 on this site, to me it is crucial. It is hard to see from the pics, but it is ribbed on top and tapers back really...
Cool, thanks. I just want to get the suckers popped in so I can move on to more interesting wrenching, like dual carb/exhaust and painting and...
I got replacement rubbers from www.oldmoparts.com for the 55 Belvedere. I know which slots are for the glass and which are for the metal lip, but...
Don't have them yet, but planning on using the long one along with a resonator, as they recommended that to get a good blend of noise and...
Gracias, my setup is probably similar (haven't traced the lines yet), and the previous owner said he replaced all the lines, but I like your...
May be a dumb question, but did you need to fab up a 2nd set of lines when you made the switch? Did your original brake line setup run one line...
I have a similar attachment for my standard drill, it fits into the chuck for low-clearance angled work. Definitely one of those tools that you...
Maybe I will be back in town, this is my first time in Arkansas, and I really love the place. Everyone is so friendly, and the bbq and catfish is...
Also, can't remember which car it was on, but they had a precursor to air conditioning, I think it was from 49. It was similar to a scoop, but...
If you ever find yourself in Morrilton Arkansas, do yourself a favor and visit the Museum of Autos. It was founded by Winthrop Rockefeller, and a...
Separate names with a comma.
