    How To Lap Valves

    I am not sure Rusty is doing this. I've seen several other articles by different authors removed as well. This one by Polish Aviator says article removed and he hasn't been on here since Feb 6, 2025. They seem to be dropping like flies. MoPar W2 head PN P4532693 ?

    Looking into doing my first paint job next year.

    I painted my '65 in a small 2 car garage at my old residence using a 120 volt compressor. I stapled plastic sheeting overhead and on walls to keep the dust off. I put plastic sheet on the floor as well (big mistake). Single stage acrylic enamel shot with an old Sears spray gun. I only had 2...

    Passon Performance issues, are these guys shipping?

    I bought an A833 18 spline aluminum case 4 speed transmission from Jamie Passon quite a few years ago. It was, and is, all good.

    How hard is it to remove and reinstall the driver's door for a hinge rebuild job?

    Hi cruiser, there is a EZ Rest Door Hanger tool that can help if your floor jack is compatible. I bought one to help with the real heavy E body doors but I have not yet tried it. Here's a link at Summit but you can find them at several places, i.e., Eastwood etc.. EZ Rest Door Hanger

    Which Shocks for SS Springs?

    Rusty, the Mopar Chassis manual says the 002 spring goes on the right side, 003 goes on the left side. So 002 goes on the passenger side, correct?

    Screws for rubber shift boot on '65 Barracuda 4 speed

    Bob, great work as always. Can I ask where you sourced this boot? I have for so long used this Hurst rubber boot kit (don't know anything about this company), pitched the metal plate, and trimmed the base rubber flange to fit under the bezel. I don't believe I ever screwed it to the tunnel. It...

    Bondo - a long time assett to the car community

    Yep, there is a real reason most buyers bring a magnet when looking to buy a car. They don't want a bondo'd car made to look like metal. The damage is still there but buried and no one wants to pay up for buried damage.

    65 Barracuda Trim Replacement

    Interesting... My rear glass has never been out but I was able to remove those screws under the window seal without hitting the glass as far as I remember. I can say those holes in the plastic trim I removed are still intact.

    piston valve reliefs, how to

    He offered to "make them fit" if I would bring him the block and pistons. No way was I going to do that and so I walked.

    piston valve reliefs, how to

    I would have a machine shop do it according to the MP race manuals once you determine what is needed. Make sure they know what they are doing. I had a machine shop in Hampton VA who had not done this before but said he could do it. He did it but none of the pistons afterward would fit into the...
