I'm having a bit of a problem loosening the nuts/bolts on the exhaust flange. Aside from using some sort of penetrating spray, growing more...
Well, points made for a 12V system could definitely handle a 6V, it's less voltage. But points made for a 6V system being able to handle a 12V...
I recently got my carpet from Kanter Auto. Good customer service, and the carpet fit great. ~Jt
That's not exactly true, switches are designed for a maximum potential. Try using a simple 110V, typical household light switch on a 440V system...
Oh, and I have the hy-drive transmission manual, if you're looking to borrow one. ~Jt
Do you have the hy-drive with your 218? I didn't really see any adapters for other transmissions for that engine at stovebolts, if you don't have...
from what I've read, the engine and transmission share the oil.. it may be difficult if there's oil channels between the engine and transmission....
I actually got discouraged with my car up to the point where I put it up for sale. With a 3 year old (who's now almost 4, next month!), and...
I know this is a rather old post, but I only came across it a moment ago. The link to the pedal for the under the dash application.. Is the MC...
If your looking to get smaller parts done, trim and what-not (instead of bumpers and grills) you could also look into taking the pieces to a gun...
That's not necessarily true. It may be he thought it was stolen because whatever year car it was didn't originally come with a third eye brake...
does this '53 have the hy-drive tranny in it?
You also have to consider there are a few different types of cops that stop people driving - those who are enforcing traffic laws/vehicle codes,...
Uhm... I don't know about a world famous "Baby Face" movie, but I do agree that it sounds like "Crybaby".......
In California, there is no SMOG requirement for vehicles that are 1975 or older. There are, however, emission control requirements that need to...
no problem... The first paragraph you've quoted there was written to lostn51's asshole-ic response, "Just another FNG that is clueless." The...
eh, it's kind of like that. I guess that's about the best example I'll be able to use. no... no no no, I am not doing that to my car, good...
I did the search for button tufted, and it's exactly that... I wonder why the guy would call it pop-button.. As to the rest of it, the rolled /...
Pardon me, Mr. Senior Member. I'm not retired, and I'm not into the over-the-hill car restoration clubs. I suppose if I had the time to post on...
Anybody have some good photos for reference of coff'n roll upholstery with the pop-buttons? I saw it in a car a few weeks back, and I'm having...
I'll try and do before/after photos. I have some of the interior before/after cleaning and painting, and I'll put those up, too. I just need to...
Before reading the different reference materials I have, that's the way I was thinking. The windlace gets stapled under the toothed metal strips,...
So I'm about to reinstall the dashboard in my plymouth, and after that, I'm installing the headliner/carpet/windlace. From what I've read, I...
My wife came up with one... I said something that didn't make sense (don't remember what it was), and she told me, "Come, now, Jt, you know that...
there was something that a strip of stuff was stapled to along the door pillar between the front and rear doors, I'll try the belt on that area.
Thanks for the link! I was checking out the dynamat, and boy, is that stuff expensive! The headliner "bracket" has metal strips that are screwed...
what kind of place would you get that from? is it the same stuff used for homes? maybe I'm not typing in the right key words for my searches, but...
yeah, stock bows... I've been looking at jute padding, I found a 6'x3' section for about $15 a piece.
I'm trying to find backing foam, but I'm not sure of what to use. My brother suggested foam found at a fabric store. Anybody use that before?
So, I have my headliner/bows removed, its backing removed, wiring reinstalled, and a new headliner (and will soon have the windlace). Are there...
