What are the advantages of bananna rocker shafts?

I got it now after the seat backs...the front seat was more involved than the rear for sure...I had some broken springs etc.

I agree. For example why make a video of "Legendary upholstery installation "and go step by step when Legendary has already made a video that is basically their instructions. You may just shoot a 10 minute video of "here's how my upholstery turned out, if I can do it so can you..." for example...

How is your channel doing? You'll find on "ol Screwtube" there isn't much true restoration going on or lack of interest anyway...most of it is guys playing with junk and copying regurgitating each others content. Anyway thanks for putting out useful info.

I remember those days very well. I always played with small blocks but I knew 383 / Big block guys who would yank 318s and call me and say "ya want it, come and get it..." 318s were boat anchors, they were free. sometimes with a 904 still attached to them...:)

I knew a guy named "Stanley Kupp" I kid you not... :lol:

No worries man ,and I get it. Upholstery work and things like that arent as easy as it looks. I think the gator skin would be ok it just looks like maybe it needed stretched tighter however that still involves taking the pad off,contact cement etc.etc. it gets involved for sure.

A bodies arent cheap...was just saying the 4 doors are starting to get up in price...

Yeah I did stop and figured Id come back, sometimes I just need a break from it.

This is alluding to "Bog? well its a 318 ya know..." :)

Well, I got it apart and going back together so far so good but I am having difficulty stretching the vinyl over the drivers side rear ccorner properly and I dont want to rip the material. is it normal to wrestle with the vinyl? I think I have to keep compressing the foam and pulling the vinyl...

Ok so have we decided if the 383 is a dog or what? you know rumour has it a 340 can spin 325 horse thats 10 under a 383...

I think they have caps also.

When it comes right down to it you have to paint your own car if you are capable. Paint guys want too much to do it.

I "almost" like that...:)

Alignments , the guys are hacks. I took a Ford Taurus to a Firestone years ago for Tires and a 4 wheel alignment. They had the car all day and when I went to pick it up the kid working on it said I need "aftermarket cams" to set toe in the rear. I said to the counter guy "that's bullshit can I...

Yep 4 doors are all that's left it seems...I mean even a 2 door roller body these days it needs trunk pans, quarters all of it.

Fair price is getting tough... I see 4 door A bodies 5-7 grand. I think that's a bit much for a /6 4 door 4 doors will be kissing 10 grand soon guys are hyping them up like the next craze.

I don't think its hate its more preference. You could compare any 71 car to any 75 car and Id bet the 71 is more desirable. So much happened in that 4 year span mostly due to Federal regulations at the time that just watered down the style and performance of the cars.

The 71 cause 75 cars are eh...the malaise era right? but seriously I like the older cars right down to the differences in the interiors. The later cars had more plastic in the door panels etc.

we have a 2011 Escape...issues are rust yes rear quarters , TPMS the light that comes on saying "low tire pressure" because it is AWD it is good to know if the tires are going flat however the light can be disabled with a 25 dollar scan tool type thing and then you'd have to check the tires...

I never thought I'd see the day when people tout how great a 318 is and then slam the 383 Mopar B engine...

40 dollars to me aint **** its a case of good beer but to someone else its the end of the world...I'm not saying the valve cover was 40 dollars but you get the point I think...

I agree. I have a friend with a 68 Impala convertible...it looks ratty on the outside and I'm like" dude buy some beer Ill come over with my DA and go down 1 side and you go down the other...well smooth this thing out and coat it with a primer of your choice from Eastwood, it would look a hell...

Meh...they just need to be "port matched" :lol:

Cats...furry soft cuddly yet they kill things and leave them as gifts on the stoop...the cat we had would kill birds I couldn't figure that one out fast enough to sneak up on a bird and get it...:)

The way I understand it is install the timing set and check the slack if the chain has too much slack get a smaller chain. I believe they make them

I never liked Snap On guys either. I rolled my KRL series box into a trans shop and started working there, one day the Snap On dealer charged me "what's your name do you owe money...?" I said "excuse me pal I'm all paid up, now get out of my face..." greedy sum biches...

The No prep I was at a couple years back, all the really fast guys were wrecking and hitting the concrete barriers at mid track. No prep seems like its for slower cars...but maybe these guys couldn't drive also...? :lol:

Totally makes sense. the thing is this isn't Summit or Jegs it isn't like you order something and tracking info is there in like 24 hours. So people get impatient they think they got ripped off on a Forum all you can do is expose it publicly. 7 days ok...how about 6 weeks 6 months? there is a...
