Sand blasting will rough it up also.

Your car looks great with all the chrome trim.

Seen the polished ones the streetrod guys seem to like. Flaming River maybe? Never cared for the look of them myself.

So how is this done. I gather the wheelbase remains the same since your floors are currently finished. Are your valiant doors from a two door post? Which b pillar will you use? I like the idea of the wagon as a two door myself. Curious how you plan to do this conversion.

The rear glass is fairly easy to get good results even if you have never installed glass before. You will need a piece of braided 1/8" nylon cord at least a foot longer than the distance around the perimeter of glass. Install the new rubber seal onto the glass and lace the cord into the...

The covers do get hogringed to the springs although indirectly. The soft trim of a seat is a build up of layers of different materials fastened to the steel frame & springs. The factory used a layer of burlap reinforced with wire as a first layer. This is to spread out the load across the...

^^^^^ this was my approach also. Now all my cars use the same key.

From all the dirt track cars I've seen it would be trashing it. Doesnt take long and there's nothing left of them. Thank god its a gm intermediate dominated sport.

Outer tie rod end. Not a part to be playing around with like that. Install new one before getting back out on the road for your and others safety.

I attempted to buff the dull or flat factory finish on a 91 Bonneville not long ago. Rewardless effort even with a 1500 grit wet sanding first. The clear could not be made to shine. I take it your car must have been painted without use of a urethane clear coat. Nice work, Looks great.

I forgot to mention stacking more leafs can make a car ride very stiff or harsh. You have some control over this with the rear segment of spring. Shortening the leafs behind the axle will lighten the stiffness. Of course you don't want to shorten the main leaf. But you also don't want the ride...

I think I would be looking at adding some leafs to your existing spring packs and longer shocks. Well used C body or truck shocks should have enough extended length to allow the body to rise as needed when hooking up. It shouldn't be to rough on your tire and wheel budget using worn shocks and...

The dodge red ram Hemi heads will bolt onto that block. Pistons would need changed also to do this.

I believe their is info out their available on how king Richard put together his drag barracuda. 1965 if I remember correct. I would bet once converted your wife would no longer get in the car. Unless your wife is braver than my partner. She don't want nothing to do with my Hemi. Says its...

X2 I been wanting to give my 68 a vintage race car paint job. Not sure I'm creative enough to pull it off. Works of art indeed.

I think your right, behind the rear wheel looks stock. Probably would have been modified some if they went to the trouble of building a complete body mold.

Do you think its glass? Body has a wedge to it like a funny. Beeeyoootifull!!!

I think you could save yourself some real coin if you have the fabrication skills and tools to cut, weld and drill/ screw this together. I have taken those truck OD transmissions and fit them Into plenty of vehicles that they weren't meant to be installed in. I almost always put them behind...

Some nice work there. Can't wait to see it in paint. Makes me want a early a.

I've got a pair on the back of one car. And I don't really like the fit, I believe it is more of a wheel problem (lug holes not so good) and I won't drive it. I also had a set on my car when I was in my late teens 30 years ago. Drove it without mercy. As fast as it would go. Every chance the...
