She's a 65 273. You guys are too much! Thanks for the good info and the chuckle.

Question, I'm about to bolt my resurfaced flywheel to the crank. I bought new grade 8 bolts because the car got disassembled over 30 yrs ago. I could only find one of the originals. How many Ft. pounds of torque do I use? It looks like 7/16 fine thread.

You didn't have to live in Colorado to exposed to Tebow mania twenty four seven. It's interesting that a clean young athlete bowing and thanking God for his talents offends you so much. Would you rather see some blinged out gangsta thug wanna be chicken walking after a touchdown?

What you said doesn't make any sense. Do you think you won't see any Tebow images just because he changed teams?

I bought some of the cheap mounts from Auto Zone. The bump didn't line up with the hole in the bracket. Junk

look for the cut out in the rear valance.

A 65 Dodge van with a 273 and three on the column. It handled like a shopping cart. I bought it from my uncle for 500 dollars. 3" pipes down the sides and a Realistic power booster/equalizer.

I hope da Bears don't cave.

I'm in the same boat with ya.I cut mine open Sunday. I've been pretty much standing here looking at it every since. (with a dumb look on my face).My car must have sat on a hillside because the drivers side is waaay worse than the right side. Maybe I'll cover up the hole and open the wing vent...

yeah but wouldn't the intake manifold bolt heads be 9/16 on a 318? As opposed to 1/2 on the 273?

Why is the FBI on the lookout for Yogi Bear? He's the prime suspect in a grizzly murder.

Who told him he was funny?

Has the subject of rust in the cowling or ventilation been discussed here? Is anybody else living this nightmare?

I got mine at ESPO Springs n Things. Very knowledgeable and very fast.

Upside down is a good way to describe it. That's exactly where I'm at. I probably have 5k into my 65 FS Four speed and still have a long way to go. Once you get so far in, there's no turning back. Fortunately I have pretty much all the bits and pieces. It seems like values are back and forth...

What brand paint do you suggest? Can I get decent results without the base clear routine? I like the term "splash n dash". I'm gonna steal that one from ya.

I got my fronts from Kramer. I have a 65 Cuda.They were 105.00 three years ago. The rear ones are pretty easy to make. I did my own and I ain't exactly Albert Einstein. Saved 95 dollars each on them.

The peeling is mostly on the hood and a little on the top. The sides are still shiny and there is no rust. Thanks for the response

I'm praying hard for you all. God bless.

Kander, got any more car painting tips to share? I have an old wagon I'd like to spruce up to possibly sell. Not looking for perfection but something decent.Right now it has the familiar peeling silver paint.

On another note, I have one of those engine cranes that folds up. Once while I had my back turned, he grabbed the boom and raised it up. The whole thing fell down on top of him. The fact that it was folded up made it front heavy when he raised the boom.Thank God he never even suffered a scratch...

I guess she just recently reported for duty. That shirts way too clean! My 3 year old becomes a grease monkey in about ten minutes. His mom and I don't try to fight it. The garage is a great place for a kid to grow up.

Was four dollars too much? It's gone now.

My boy is 3 1/2. I know exactly what you,re talking about. I tried getting him an old yard sale set of his own. It ain't the same as playing with daddys. Thats a good story. I'll bet all you could do was laugh. There is nothing like garage time with the boy and the Cuda.

Sorry for the delay.I screwed around now my wifes taking the camera to KY. Its a cluster and bezel from a 64 Signet. I'll take 4 dollars for it plus whatever it costs to ship. I don't charge for packing. Probably U.S. Postal. Got an address? I have some time tomorrow if I can get the address. Bill

I think I have one from 64 Signet. It's 11:30 now. I'll try to send pic in the A.M.

It looks like about .040. I'm not sure what guage that is.

This 65 Barracuda owner in Maryland welcomes you. There can't be too many of 'em left. It's nice to see another one being properly cared for. This is a fun place to be. Stick around.

I gotta admit it's a subject I don't know much about. The overall smooth surface of the flywheel is about 11 1/2. The bolt holes are about 5 1/4 center to center. Does that make sense? Thanks!

I was wondering if anybody has upgraded and may have a workable clutch assembly laying around at a reasonable price. That's the last major item I need to get this thing together after five years of work. In this economy, I just can't justify buying it new. I have a 65 Formula S that is as near...
