MT, you need a gig on Fox News!

Very cool project! Are those aircraft seatbelts you are using?

I would be extremely careful sanding chromed steel as the "chrome" is very thin. You might end up with shiny steel instead. Look at some YouTube videos on this. Remove Rust from Chrome in Seconds with Coke and ...... - YouTube How To Restore Chrome (The Cheapest & Easiest Way) - YouTube...

If I am not mistaken, AMD also uses the same gauge steel that the original cars used. I'm not sure of the Chinese stuff.

#-o Doh!

That would have been my only reason for visiting Detroit.

I did wind tunnel testing at Grumman Aerospace. I came across the actual wind tunnel report for the Superbird some time ago. I have not seen one for the Daytona. I seem to remember that the test was conducted in a wind tunnel at a Southern university. Yes, they did a great amount of testing...

Hey, doc, I live just a few miles north of you. Best of luck with the car. I'd love to see it in person.

Welcome. You will find more collective knowledge about A-bodies here than anywhere else on the planet.

Welcome. Remember that a selling price is what anybody is willing to pay for it. Your best bet would be to check out some of the sale sites for a price. The market is all over the place all over the country.

I have to agree that working on your own vintage car sure is good therapy. It's a great way to block out the world

This is the right place. Welcome aboard. The more the merrier.

A lady, at 70, decided that it was time to get married again. She put an ad in the local paper that read: HUSBAND WANTED: MUST BE IN MY AGE GROUP (70's), MUST NOT BEAT ME, MUST NOT RUN AROUND ON ME & MUST STILL BE GOOD IN BED!!!!! ALL APPLICANTS PLEASE APPLY IN PERSON...

Don't forget local pawn shops. I got great deals on some shop tools and a bass guitar amp.

Can you post some pictures? Might help.

The rust will likely continue to spread if you do no grinding, cutting, welding, treating, and painting. That's just the reality. It is spreading beneath your paint. Just treating visible rust will have no effect on the rust you cannot see.

I remember seeing one major structural failure at N.Y. National Speedway (1/4 mile track) back in the mid 1970s. Some guy was racing a mid-sixties 'vette. He cranked the revs and dumped the clutch on the "green." The front end had lifted with one side lifting higher and higher than the other -...

I agree 100% with you 72 - any frame connector is better than none. Thanks for the video, longarm, that test was very informative and was similar to the test I saw some time ago. I like to think of a car body as a box, a box with a longer length dimension than width and height...

For what it's worth. Not more than a few years ago, I saw a test done on the net somewhere. It was essentially a static load test to evaluate body torsion. If I remember correctly, the rear frame rails were anchored to the test bed at about the axle location. A fulcrum was built of steel and the...

I normally keep track of vehicles coming up from behind by using the rear-view mirror. However, I like using the passenger side mirror to glance at my blind spot. It comes in very handy when somebody pulls onto a highway from a ramp or changes lanes on a three-lane highway. At least I can see...

From my experience, a few pinholes in a large rusty area indicates that the sheet metal has been thinned down by rust over time. The pinholes, of course, are the thinnest areas.

Good deal! I've got to tackle a locked up rear passenger side window on my 'Cuda disassembly. I kinda waiting for the temperature to get down into the 80s, though.

Nice catch. Did you get a good deal on price?

A quick look a E Bay showed one for $333 and another for $369. Classic Industries offers re-pops at $280 and $415 (the latter something called Restorer's Choice). I didn't notice anything about hardware included. You might want to check.

American ingenuity! Somebody built a better mousetrap again.

That was the first question that popped into my mind. I used to see that a lot.

What did you find the problem to be?

A rather famous former F-102 pilot. Anybody who could fly one of those monsters is not an average pilot.
