Try bobs classic auto glass. I bet he’ll make you one instead of you buying and cutting. I’ve been to his place and ordered class. The set up is...
After a couple hours of farting around and fitting a ton of different ways, youre right. Im going to strip the seats and cut out the entire center...
Thanks all. The seats are trashed and will need new foam and covers anyway. I have all the rear chrome trim and moulding that was on the T bird....
Has anyone has success heating and bending seat frames? Picked up a 65 tbird interior in hell bent on putting in my 50 buick. Its real close, but...
Seems to be all over the board and regional. I see junk selling for a ton and decent rides very reasonable. In washington prices are just starting...
Great advise and much appreciated
Just picked up (2) 327s. One is a .030 over ‘62 flint big number block. All new bottom end. Really nice short block. Still gunna rip it apart and...
Want to keep it a straight 6 and want to keep it somewhat period correct. When I swapped a nailhead in my buick from the straight 8, I ended up...
upon further digging, I'll take trulyvintage and tractorguy's advise and keep it original. The mods are too extensive. Once I open up the can,...
honestly not sure
Hi all, got this ‘49 jeepster yesterday. Been in the family for years, now mine 78hp 6 banger, non overdrive 3 speed, 5:38 Dana 23. I live in...
Hold down threads are solid. I’m gunna check the lock collar before the blue. Didn’t know the collars were adjustable on the msds
Thanks!
Good call! I’ll check that right away. Thanks!
I think at some point soon I’m going to have to pull the distributor. I’ll make sure to look. Oil pressure is normal luckily
No, it’s a bolt. I was going to try a stud to see if it helped
I haven’t made a mark, but that’s a really good idea. My hunch is that it’s physically moving since it keeps coming loose, but definitely a box to...
It sure possible. It’s an early aluminum. Front oil fill like the factory cast one. It easily could have been milled over the years by someone. I...
Thanks. I tend to react fairly abruptly. I’ll check play in the rotor 1st thing. Distributor only has 1200 miles on it, but that doesn’t mean much...
Car will start and drive, at least up until tonight, not sure about now, but I was able to re time it and drive well. It will pop slightly out the...
Yes, physical mobility. For some reason I get it real tight so I can’t move it with my hand, 30 minutes driving it loose and timing is out, with...
Un Sure. I have been thinking through this whole mess, it may be worth a gear drive to nip any slippage in the bud. At some point I’m afraid I’m...
Ok. I’ll pull it and see what I can find out. Thx
My only next clue is to pull it. Not sure who can test MSD distributors. Pretty spendy to replace without knowing though
I have a ‘58 283 Ran perfectly for a long time. Couple years. Out of the blue the distributor came loose, timing out of wack. Reset timing,...
Thanks all. Never done an interior before, but here we go.
Thanks
Can anyone tell me the name of this cloth trim that goes around the doors? Also a place to order it? thanks, J[ATTACH]
Or, do you think it would be easier drilling out the rivets and spot welds in the inner structure and swapping them out? I could nut and bolt the...
Ok 'yall, last time I bother you about 1950 Buicks for a while. (I hope) I appreciate the help. The car is getting really close to being back on...
