Thanks for the kind words guys. For those that are interested in seeing some photos, and are on Facebook, our company site is here: https://www.facebook.com/hotrodchassisandcycle?ref=bookmarks I'll post some photos on here after SEMA. We're just swamped right now with the thrash to complete...

Actually, we're not "drama queens." And have turned down four production companies wanting to do a TV show here. Not to mention, the past three years we've had cars at SEMA they were all done months in advance. As for the parts I was looking for help finding, EVERYONE here and at Redi Strip...

Got 'em. Thanks for the help guys!

Anyone in the Chicagoland area that has a '64/5 Valiant or Barracuda and has some spare windshield pillar garnish moldings, we need them ASAP. I can buy them, or give you cash and get you a replacement set, whatever your pleasure. Somewhere between tear down and now the ones we took off of...

Thanks!!!! FYI, my wiper motor has a blue and a black wire. And the manual specifies RED and black.

On Violent, the wiper switch seems to be a two speed. Not sure what options they had. And, honestly, it's been so long since I drove it, I don't remember. The back of the switch is labeled, B, R, and P (having two terminals.) The Wiper motor only has two wires, black and LT. Blue. I...

Hey guys! I need HELP! That's right, I need a 1964 Valiant tail panel trim. Preferably that unicorn one that has almost no damage. Every single one I find has damage. Anyone that can help, please call me at 630-901-5077 or at the shop phone 630-458-0808. This is for the Violent...

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been on here in a while. Running a business, trying to keep up with all the sites, I have a new son, and slaving away to get the Valiant done for the Summer, etc. You guys get the picture. I'm posting a link to all the updates on Bangshift.com, and I'll try to get some...

Any specific photos you guys are looking for?

Yep, it's MY car. AND I'm building it. Hilborn no longer offers the injector for the LA motor. I could call them and ask if they still have the pattern if you like. I'm a Hilborn dealer.

Hey guys. I'm building this car. Thanks for wanting to follow the build. Anyone have any questions or a specific photo they'd like to see? ~Kevin

Hey guys. Anyone have a '60 Wagon? I need photos of the latch, and hinge areas on an assembled car. Can anyone help? Kevin

I thought I'd list the weight reduction numbers of parts I'm changing for aluminum: Stock iron 4bbl manifold with Carter AFB and coil: 44# Stock iron water pump housing with water pump: 21# Stock iron cylinder head: 62# ea. Aluminum "Stealth" head: 22# ea.

Wow, that's cool. Do you have any photographs of you towing him? That would be an awesome screen saver!

I scored a 187 pan in Indiana! It's on the way. Awesome Barracuda! And next to an awesome wheel stander! Megan has picked a name for the car, the paint will be the same as the early Hemi Under Glass, and the lettering somewhat the same. It'll be called, "Hurst's Violent Valiant". Hurst...

Awesome Valiant. What size rear tires are you running? I plan on building the car to take 10.5x28's for the strip, and then run something like a 295/50-15's for the street.

Cool. Thanks guys. And the 'Cuda looks AWESOME. Nice stance.

What width and offset front rim have you guys found to work on the '64 A bodies when going to 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern? 15x5's? 15x6's?

BTTT for advice.

I had a buddy bring over a pan. It looks like it'll work. If not, I'll do some surgery on the one that's on the car and "help" it to fit like a glove. I also ordered up the material to put the anchor plates in for the cage so I can get started on it.

Upon further examination, I'm a dummy. I didn't realize RB engine has something like 6 or 7 different oil pans. So it looks like the 187 pan, or a non-stamped oil pan from a '65 B body would work fine. Now just to find one. Or alter the one I have. I can weld after all. :D

So, I have the V8 Center Link in. And there's a bit of a snag. At full steering, the link hits the pan where it sweeps up to the idler arm and to the pitman arm on the drivers side. It's not much, and I can't go up any more with the motor or I'll be in the floor where the transmission bolts...

I'm using a motor plate and removing the bosses on the block for added header space.

I'd rather not if I can help it. The only way you can save space with one is to run a hydraulic throwout bearing. And although there are some nice ones out there, they can all fail. And if it does, you're taking the trans out to fix it.

Ok, so I have the V8 Center Link in hand. I'm going to try to find the time to put it in this week after work one evening, but mounting the motor plate will have to wait until next week. We teach a Winter Tech series at the shop one Sunday a month, and this Sunday is it. Maybe after class on...

I've noticed just about everything for an early A Body is hard to come by. That's ok, that's what we specialize in (hard to come by or "you can't do that"). I'm not really set up to build multiples of the same header (except I could build them on the same car). I might be up to doing a few...

I could do that. As long as it's the same set up, they should fit just fine.

I thought about that. A Dakota rear steer rack would probably work. But the steep angle from the column to the rack would probably necessitate at least one double universal. It would free up a ton of room for headers though.

You're close with the year, but that's a Dodge. 1926 Coupe. It also has a 413 and an A-833.

If you look at the column to head clearance, it's tight. Not so tight I couldn't build headers to fit. And with a motor plate the motor won't move really at all. But I'm still going to shorten the column housing. More room that you can get is never something to overlook. I want to get all...
