I agree with all of the above. I would first get it running, moving under its own power, and stopping safely. Those brakes might not need more than just the wheel cylinders, a new master, and a good bleed. Do everything you can that’s free, and buy just the stuff you need. I’m sure the fuel...

Saying a prayer in honor of your wife. May she Rest In Peace, and may you find peace and comfort in your heart as the days pass. I’m very sorry to hear of her passing, I would be devastated as well.

I get 16 in my 2012 with no trailer, and 12 with my car hauler empty, slightly less with a car on it. Pulling the camper I get 9, and no matter where I drive, I’m ticking. I spent $8k on a new engine and getting it installed, 10k miles later and the old Hemi tick has come back. I’m about to jump...

The 904 can handle anything you’re going to throw at it. Now, the 7 1/4” and 8 3/4” use the same size brakes, 1 3/4” wide shoes and a 10” diameter. The line set for the axle itself would be different, but you may not need that anyway. The drums will be the same, and all the hardware. The backing...

I don’t believe the tracks from a 73 and later car are the same as the 67-72 cars. I know the floorpan is different.

I believe that is a 7 1/4”, and there should be some stampings in the edge of the ring gear to identify the gear ratio. That being said, for all of your upcoming upgrades, you should strongly consider replacing the entire axle assembly with either an 8 3/4”, which would allow you to keep the...

It’s only been there since spring. It was in his barn at home, but he’s moving and brought it to his rental shop right in town.

Contact member “Rick@Laysons”, they have a filler neck adapter That keeps the gas from coming back up the tube. It’s not cheap, but it works!

I have 2 complete sets thst I’ll drag out and picture for you on Saturday, I won’t be able to get to them until then. You can take your choice of either set.

I would like to participate, but I’m just very busy and can’t deal with doing parts and shipping right now. I’m going to send Del some money directly, from my parts account, and I hope he gets back on his feet soon!

I hear, and obey! And it’s not the money, it’s the lack of space to keep it. It won’t help it moving from one outside storage situation to another. I might hit up my buddy for some space in his really large barn. I’ll report back in this thread if I succumb to my conscience

He might have the keys at home, he was going to check, and if he has them he’s going to bring them to the shop. He says there’s some parts in the trunk, I’d personally like to see the missing rear wheel well trim piece.

No, the interior is turquoise as well, under some spray bomb red on the metal, and some really bad vinyl on the door skins and dash pad. The front seat looks to have been reupholstered, the back seat looks like Mopar vinyl, but it’s red. Not sure if it got dyed or they swapped one from a red...

Ok Mike, please do that.

My next project HAS to be putting the 340 into my blue Barracuda. Now that Nellas room is finally done, I can turn back to doing stuff with cars. I wish the Signet would find a good home, I need the space, and the money would be nice too. Although it’s a really fun car to drive. Come on down and...

I really, really, REALLY don’t need another car. And the biggest drawback to this car is the crappy interior job. Although the red vinyl door skins are literally glued to the metal surround of the door, with the turquoise door skins untouched and underneath. Of course, I have a complete commando...

For reference, I drove my 66 Signet convertible up there, which has been on the market for about 3 years now with no takers at $7500. He wasn’t there, he doesn’t spend much time there except in the morning, so I went Saturday morning on my way to Lowes, but I was in my truck. From the feel of...

It’s in Michigan, near Ann Arbor. It is remarkably rust free, and the owner said that’s why he bought it. He didn’t know that it has been repainted once, it was originally turquoise. And some old old vinyl and paint work on the interior to change that to red. It’s complete, and I would wager to...

Found this little gem up town. It’s been sitting at least since 1999 when the current owner bought it for a father/son project that never happened. It ran, and would probably run again, but it’s going to need love. 6cyl, e speed on the tree, 9” drums all around. It was turquoise when it was...

I still like the racing, and I like to wander the parts area, although I really don’t need any parts. One of the highlights of the Nats is Hemi Dennys tent, and all the cars and friends he brings out. We are going for the day on Friday this year, as the hotel prices have kept us from staying the...

I did not. I didn’t have enough, what I had I got in a parts deal, so I just decided to use it in my next interior, which was the Roadrunner. Some is better than none I suppose, and I’m glad I did it.

Sounds like the 906 would be enough for a mild performance 440, especially if he already has them. It’s easy to get carried away with shiny new things and high horsepower parts when they’re not really needed. My B body cars have all been 440 cars with cast iron heads, and they’ve all done a...

The sound deadening really makes a difference, it’s so tight in the car. I also did my roof, and it’s nice a quiet in the car, until the pedal gets mashed!

Major showdown!!!….. 2 brothers with nothing better to do at the Nats than to go head to head with their show cars. The big block was the victor that day, but the little Barracuda held its own, and is ready for a rematch, anytime brother wants to!

I would still fill that lower splash area with the correct panel, and replace the fan with a 7 blade.

Incredibly cool, and incredibly cool that you got it back. The story is as special as the truck!

No. The 10x1 3/4” small bolt pattern backing plates are exclusively unique to the A body 8 3/4” axle only. They have a unique offset for the small bolt axles and will not work with any other axle, nor will any other backing plates work with them. However, you can make the 7 1/4” 10” backing...

Hood to radiator support seal in place? Lower splash pan to radiator support seal in place? They help funnel the air through the radiator opening, not around it. And of course a shroud.

And, he actually sent them! Not a lot of folks can say that!

I remember meeting Mike Clifford at the Nats about 25 years ago. He was wheels up even back then, and helped me pick out a converter for my 66.
