  1. this is why you order parts by your distributor model number........
  2. I fully understand the special bodies.....however, ugly is ugly and like I stated, just my own personal opinion. That is why there are so many makes and models out there, no one model is right for everyone.....
  3. that teal painted thing with the overstuff vinyl roof has totally been hit by the ugly stick....does not match the period of the car in my opinion and yes it is JUST MY OPINION
  4. you getting there...building projects always gets you hyped up....
  5. it is NPT
  6. compare the throw of the lever to the pump body, not lever to lever...the above picture are not the same profile and thus not representative of the overall pump
  7. you only live once so live it to your fullest.....a project car especially a Mopar and new shop will likely add years to your life....congrats on the purchase and the shop build.....while a tad more out of the coffers....if you can swing a 13 foot wall and a lift....you will always thank yourself for it....if not, then is understood. This is my birthday month, will run in a bit to look at a project I scheduled an appointment to see...it will have to be very nice to buy it but if you do not go look, you never know what may or may not be.....it is a dare to be different car....the other dare to be different turn out to be rotten beyond economical repair, it could be saved, just someone else will have to do it....my plate is overrunning now.....I need a project like I need a hole in my head....but, we having fun for the most part and that is what it is all about.
  8. hey that is easy, I have located them for you, they are on your bench.......it's the details that eat your time and your brain...but stuff like this is easier on your wallet when fabricating your own stuff....if you don't believe me, get out there and so some of the stuff Ulu (& others) are doing.
  9. A salute....to all who have served.... retired US Army and US AF Reserves, combined 32+ years
  10. for sure...hard to prevent heat creep......
  11. in the case of the truck, battery beneath the floor, as is the original topic here, this is not needed.....out of sight out of mind...call me cheap, YOU'RE CHEAP!...but it is hard to justify this cost for a cover that is so easily seen as faux battery....you may fool yourself but that is where it will stop...but at casual glance it passes inspection.
  12. for sure there are different schools for the two set up...depend on how you drive them as to what you will get out of them....they tamed the beast at speeds to 85, figure that is all I best push it given conditions.....I would be floating like a boat with stock....not so now...nice controlled ride.
  13. I have more than once made mention that the purist do look down their noses at the resto or rod builder while all the time not realizing if not for them, they would not have the pieces to maintain their cars in the original configuration. Can't save them all and many feels cutting up and parting out a car is blasphemy. Well, they are welcome to buy the heap and do the work but then that is not going to happen either. Talk is often fast and cheap. I went to look at a car last weekend.....picture and description made it a promising car. That is where it screeched to a halt. By looking at the lower medal, unibody frame...I think the roof was all that was keeping it from folding...but man it sure looked good on the outside. Oh, it could be saved for sure, just not economically. Perfect glass turned out to be windshield with perfect round holes...would be a nightmare finding a glass I would think. But, I did go look thus I am content on the pass.
  14. hook up a couple headlights and see how much it deflects.......
  15. Hotrod tractor is MIA for over a year....and I never had a phone number for him or really his real name so no means to check on him. We swapped PMs quite frequently and then one day....no more replies and it was to me strange as we were in the middle of a conversation. Anyone have any knowledge as to his current status?
  16. if you lowered you front...what did you expect out of your shocks...
  17. I have each but they are filed away somewhere for now and to be honest with you....not sure I could state is a lot of difference and that one will work as well as the other. IF I run upon these next time I am long term storing an item or having a need to collect from my long term, I will compare these closer and report findings.
  18. I am not so sure I can help you except to say it can be done...while my hood was open and foreseeing such an event you describe....I made a special shaped metal rod to g between the grill slats, rotate a few degrees and catch against the lever and with a bit of a push you can get it to pop up....you can make similar just by looking between the slats and getting an image of the under side of the latch
  19. If it is on your invoice, what shock did they install for you....? Am sure some on here will find this relevant.
  20. Without being politically affiliated with either party....you said that last time he was in office...but...here you are and you returned during his term in office......besides as a Canadian....you have no say either way either party in the course of our election process......get over yourself...but if you can't, farewell and enjoy your life.
  21. technically from the standpoint of ripped off design, features and such, I am not at all upset that the company went under....continuing the same fraud and scam today on the so called unfinished cars being added to the register...another bogus claim and anyone who has the an original counted car is being devalued with the additions....this is not right for the receivers to make money and debase the true cars.
  22. it is doable but you will be moving a few things around in the process...
  23. only thing here is that granny refused to get out of her chair and get into the truck, so they picked her up chair and all and loaded her for the trip....looks like a nice comfortable way to inspect the underside of an overpass.
  24. should have had your Santa hat on......
  25. what is the world coming to that a bungee cord will only last 5 years.......😃
