Ya know, that might of actually worked on a car chassis.

Can't seem to get a link to work but check out a thread I did a while back "It's a stick car now!". Should answer any questions you have.

My restomod. A thoroughbred junk yard dog. Motor, trans and A/C were gone when I got it. Built A999 with reverse manual valve body, '88 Police 318 and 8 1/4 with 3.55 Sure Grip now in place. Drive train and chassis completely rebuilt but interior and paint are in need of a lot of help. Wheels...

Frankly I have not looked into a baffled fill tube for my Foumula S as yet. I installed a flip cap and adapter made by a member here and am waiting to see how that works on stopping the leak issue. I've seen the baffled tubes listed on Laysons web site. It can't be anything more than a metal...

The main problem is the stock filler tube has no baffle to stop gas from being forced up the tube on sharp RH turns. This is exacerbated with a full(er) tank. Check that the rubber seal on the cap is in good shape and is still pliable so it seals to the neck's lip. The cap is vented to allow...

Your inclination to install a tube through the sub frame is probably the best solution. Using some small rectangular tube, to stack the two lines one above the other, would give you the smallest intrusion through the sheet metal. I would do this right where the stock fuel line pass through is...

Thanks guys. I won't lie, it was a butt load of work.

Couple of more pics.

Been there and done that. This is what you will have to do to assemble a 3" single exhaust with Spitfire headers that mimics a standard commando/Formula S layout. I utilized a Flowmaster 2.5" to 3" Y collector and a 3" universal pipe kit from Jeggs. I used collector flanges as shown to keep...

My '65 Formula S mobile junkyard parts warehouse.

No, I went from power to manual and at the same time was trying to get clearance between the coupler and header. If you can I would do the swap now and save the headaches of doing it twice!

CUDAMARK is right on the rebuild kit. I didn't look closely at your original pics and the '64 coupler is definitely different. Only place I can think of who might have parts or a kit would be Laysons..... god help you.

Don't think that will work. Problem is attaching a coupler like that to the shaft. The shaft end is not splined at the coupler, looks like that coupler either uses a cross bolt (shaft would possibly have to be cut to correct length and drilled for the bolt) or it uses some set screws and jamb...

Its just a rubber seal that keeps the grease in and crap out of the coupler. I don't think I've ever seen them for sale by themselves. Usually part of a coupler rebuild kit which includes all the pieces inside the coupler: cross shaft pin, two "shoes", spring clip that holds the "shoes" in...

Yea it can be a chore, but looks like the seal is shot on his and needs to be replaced anyway.

If you are trying to swap the coupler from one shaft to the other and the coupler won't slide off there is probably a roll pin inside that is stopping it. Wipe some of the grime off that thing and you will see a small hole near the top of the coupler on one of the sides. Pop the top cap and...

There is a set of offset front spring hangers on Ebag right now. With minor elongation of the top two stud holes in the body mounts these will work in 64-66 also. Sorry guys don't know about earlier than that.

Oh.... I don't think you really want all the ideas I could plant in your head! My poor wife, I don't know how she lives with me. I'm a full fledged car junkie, although she is just as bad, no worse, with her gardening.

Sorry gusy I'm having issues with FABO since the crash last week. Can't see any attached images and a lot of info is missing from the thread pages. Got to get this fixed like yesterday. Yes I'm working on a write up on the work I've done to my Cuda but dang it is time consuming! Maybe I'll...

Several guys have asked for some pictures of the offset front spring hanger so here they are. Hard to tell much difference from stock but the hanger is moved in against the outer wall of the "frame rail". The nut for the spring eye bolt is welded to the hanger and a hole has to be cut in the...

That info is shown in one of the pictures of the MoparMuscle tech article I posted about yesterday. Those rims would look good on an early 'cuda.

Can't say I have, but I'll do a search to see if I can find a pic. I had actually found a second set of these exact rims in the same Pick-a-Part and like an IDIOT didn't at least get a couple for spares.

Thanks Tin that is high praise indeed. Been following your build for quite awhile. Two words: "FRIGGIN AWESOME!"

The longer I sit here the more I remember. Hoping your 8.25 is out of an A body as it will not only save you relocating the spring pads (unless your going to install the offset shackles then it doesn't matter) but you will find an A body 8.25 is about 1.5" narrower than the stock 7.25! This...

Thanks Oldschool. I've started a writeup to do a build post on the car just been to lazy to finish it and get it posted. Maybe helping Oldreb here will get me motivated to finish it. Just remembered another issue with the front hanger brackets. These are made for '67 & up cars and for some...

Make sure you get the spring plates and u bolts with that 8.25 rear as they're different than your stock 7.25. The offset front hanger brackets are Mopar PN P4120077 and shackles P4120075, you will also need a new set of spring pads as they will need to be moved inboard the same amount as the...

Those would all be fantastic additions and would be needed preparations for a future v8 or... TURBO /6! Is that 8 1/4 out of an A body? If so it should bolt right in. If not you will have to move the spring pads in to A body specs. I think you would have to mod & rebalance the driveshaft but...

Most guys would dump the six and hot rod the begeezes out of it. My suggestion would be keep the six and enjoy it as a driver. You'll end up replacing the entire drive train when a v8's power starts showing you a sucession of weak parts. You can always hop up the six when everything else is...

Looks like you got some sheet metal work to do! I've taken just about every removeable part off my car and have rebuilt, reconditioned or refinished it so if ya need assistance with anything just ask. What are your plans for it?
