My buddy used to build rifles, he painted quite a few with wrinkle paint. He said the trick to get a good wrinkle was to preheat the stock. He had a bbq rotisserie set up to hold the stock in front of a heater. Then wrinkle painted and kept in front of the heater. I dont know if you need to...

I was doing something similar in my dart(/6), had the gas all the way down. Started to knock. I limp home, after jacking up the engine, pulling the oil pan and all the rod caps and mains to check the bearings, I find out it was a couple of loose bolts on the torque convertor. I will alway check...

That is one reason I love to drive my car,72 dart. I get alot of guys that want to race. Unfortunatly its not as fast as it looks. Lots of people tell me " I had one just like that ". I never want to say that. I used to own a dodge stratus, no one ever pulled up and said "nice stratus". Plus I...

Tell them they can cut a hole in thier hood.

Here is one I thought was pretty creative. http://www.m38jeepproject.com/Tools%20and%20Jigs.html

Sadly someone will buy it. Yeah, thats quite a bit of cash. Then you have to get it home, unless its bought local. I bet that rag was stuffed in the intake just for the picture.

This story is on a lighter note. I was in a gunsmithing college in northern California in the early 90's, the gunsmithing intstructor was a great guy, he even had a hell of a sense of humor, we would all at one point have guns completly taken apart on our work benches, he would walk by and throw...

Ah, what it would be like to have more money than brains. Chuck :-| I do, unfortunatly its not much money.

Its lunchtime, and I just got the bolts, back at it. Its now 3:30 and finished it.

Cool, are you going to show us?

My car has the 1/2" bolts in the front eye of the leaf. The new leafs have a 5/8"bolt hole. I live in Vancouver B.C., population around 2 million people. This place shuts down at 6:00. This is just like a small town, I doubt I will be able to get the proper bolt until Monday.

Mopar 1974, I'll race ya! I got my ss leafs yesterday. I am starting right now, hopefully will be done tonight.

My first thought was an insert for a gas pedal or something similar.

Are you sure you want to buy a project car? The cost of the car and then add to that, the cost of repairs, add to that the cost of stuff you forgot to add to the cost of the repairs. Do you have the time and place to work on this? Not trying to persuade you either way, just stuff you need to...

Hi, all. I have a holley carb that is in pretty good shape, but I want to refinish the outside of it. What do you recomend? Is there a paint thats relatively impervious to gas? I know I can have a carb company dicromate the thing, but I'm trying to save money. Thanks for any replies.

Willnut, not going the 8.8 route?

Do you have drums or disc on the front? Would there be a problem with the rear wheels locking up due to more stopping power than the front possibly?( if you had drums on the front) I have drums on my conversion so I dont have an idea how discs would act. If it doesnt matter then I would go disc...

I had a solvent tank with a water based solution, tank rusted through.

are you planning on shortening the rear yourself?

you should be able to find an automotive machine shop or regular machine shop close to you. I considered doing it myself. If I were to do a couple more( to sell) I would set up to do it myself.

dont ask........

with the 8.8 rear, you use two passenger side axles. they are a 5 on 4.5 pattern. with the explorer rear the driver side axle is 3" longer than the passenger side axle. Shorten the driver side axle tube 3" and the extra passenger axle ( picked it up when i got the rear from the jy) slides right...

I went the ford 8.8 route. Im in canada and there are no junk yards with older vehicles here (where I am at). A 8 3/4 would be waaaay too much. I picked up the rear out of a 91 explorer with an extra passenger axle for 115$ cdn. I paid 165$ to have the drivers side shortened 3" and spring...
