My Daughter works for an eye Surgeon in Houston Texas! Prices vary from Doctor to Doctor and it depends on where you have it done. Where my Daughter works they have the BEST and UPDATED equipment that can be purchased and the Doctor is one of the best in the Country so it cost a little more at...

ONLY way to "KILL" rust is to cut it out completely all the way to good metal and install a new piece of metal where you cut out the rust! I have never heard of anything that will kill it completely,you can make areas look better with some chemicals and cover it up to a point but it always comes...

Very sad to see someone die so young. Condolences to his Family and Friends. I watched him anytime I could,the guy was just FUNNY! He was also a great Husband and Dad to his Family and he never forgot where he came from like a lot of others, so I have read and known for sometime. Bernie did get...

Yes you will have to modify the tunnell area,the linkage rods will hit the tunnell area on that side and it will hit or be very close in other areas also. But they sure are nice transmissions.

Cudachick you are definately on track in your search and your questions. So many people out there in business think they know so much and are not willing to ask questions and seek advice from others. A good run business should always be on a quest to seek ideas to expand and perform quality...

I think your biggest customer base to reach or try to reach would be the Baby Boomers,they are the ones that are collecting the cars now for the most part and restoring them. I being a baby Boomer prefer the old 60's and 70's rock and roll or OLDIE STATIONS,as I think a lot of Boomers do also...

For what a set of Shubeck lifters will cost you can run a solid lift roller! Shubeck lifters are VERY EXPENSIVE! So I was told when I was inquiring about them. A set for a 340 /416 build up I was quoted $954.00 for a set which included shipping etc.! I changed my mind after reading some stories...

Best thing to do if possible is to load the engine up and take it to the machine shop and let them get it out !if that option is possible,because they have the knowledge and tools and are going to save you time and headache. Personally a titanium bit is usually only coated on a bit and is going...

I would buy or borrow a small electric fuel pump and put small fuel line hoses on each end and hook it to a 12 V battery until drained wnough to drop the tank.I think the small fuel line will go in the fue tank through the filler hole. I have one of the little square pumps adout the size of a...

I have a couple of them, just put a NOS one on my 416 stroker engine that is going in my 69 Dart 340 and I have one for my old gasser project.I will look to se if I have another lying around. I think they are all vintage.I lucked out and found a guy that had a bunch of NOS 340 stuff and the...

Something you need to watch out for is! If and when you let him know or he finds out you are seeking Legal action! He may try to get a mechanics lein on the car. You might want to get some type of restraining order on him to stop him from that so it can go to court and be setteled there. With...

Damn that is EXPNSIVE! Personally I think you are SCREWED if you do not have some type of contract, estimate etc. Sounds like you just gave them a GREEN light to get the work done! If that is the case then you owe the bill whatever they say it is. I damn sure would sit down and see what could be...

My understanding is they are basically all made at the same place in China! They are shipped here and then that is where they get the names! Scat ,Eagle etc just depends on who buys them.Then the company that buys them does the finished machine work to them.I have been told that eagle does a...

I have done a lot of different exhaust manifolds and headers over the years, with canned coatings, spray and other. None but None have ever lasted for very long. On the other hand the Ceramic coating on my exhaust manifolds has lasted 10 years so far. I had them done by Jet hot coatings and I...
