I had the four pieces under the center of the roof (inside terra) that secure the headliner on my CV rechomed two months ago .... $1,200. I agree...
Zoegrant - thanks. I had seen that; it is a different size from what is in the car and would make it more difficult to fasten to and have less...
I have a 55 and want to replace the headliner (already purchased). There are two rows of tack strip mounted to the underside of the roof in the...
Can't help you there, but when I had my five pieces rechromed two years ago (before the re-pops were available), it cost $750. And some recent...
Just a friendly word of caution. I do not live in TN, but most counties and states have zoning and licensing laws. Also a homeowner insurance...
Because I have a custom setup, I took my measurements and used this tech data in selecting mine for both the front and rear:...
As mentioned previously, changing the tire when you get a flat (getting it off/on) should be considered. Also, I assume you have and are keeping...
The doors are opened and closed how many times over how many years? And these are heavy doors. The hinge pins and striker plates take the brunt...
Have slop in the front doors due to wear at the hinges. Want to get the replacement parts before I pull the hinges. However, I can't see back in...
NASCARDAVE - Good talking to you today, but the bar you have will not work for me, since it is straight across in the center instead of dropping...
I have 55, so there could be some difference from your 53. Bolt should about 4" or so, extra length doesn't matter unless you run out of threat...
Junkyardjeff - good pic. My intent has been to restore my car all stock (or stock appearance), but with a new kick-a** drive train. Like...

Welcome Adam, from the sunshine state.

Jeff, Sent the 88400 back to Summit days after receipt; not even a good candidate for modification. With Stock heads; cannot answer that as I do...
Brassspike: I understand an FE is a good fit and they make headers for it! I saw a 460 in one and looked great. I just did not want the 460 due...
Unfortunately the 88400 will not work with the 351W. I include this comment in case someone else also thinks of buying a set for this...
Best of luck finding one. A year ago I found that these (57) easy swap rears had pretty much been already taken by those that came before us....
My 1st effort (below) was not successful. One pipe on this side is too close for my liking to the starter and the collector is to close to the...
When I replace the headliner, the windshield has to come out. Since there are some deep wiper scrapes in the windshield, plan to replace it at...
Like others, I installed a narrowed (55 1/4" - rim mounting surface-to surface) rear and (custom backspace) rims on my 55. Running 245/60/15s;...
