Well I have a 68 tempest custom rag top that's been sitting forever. Overhead cam 6cyl.
I think I may get it fired up this week and put a sale sign on it
Need a total resto.

Thats the aluminum block, really rare? There was one here at the car show about 5 years ago

And I think we talked about this a while back.
Brake pads not fitting tight to the caliper (GM slider)

Had to get a little creative to bend the ends of the long lower tab up. But a few trials and errors got it snug.
Then realized the silencer? plate was as you see it. Seems they used something like RTV to attach it. I had a little super high temp orange RTV, We'll see if it works.

Seemed to brake better and I didn't hear the clanging on brake release... so hopefully that was that issue.

What i used to do was drive a chisel in between hub and brake pad, then a blunt punch and hammer to tighten the tabs. Worked very well.

Good morning

 

[Scott_ 69HemiDart]

Gotta go to the DMV today and register the Dart and the Chevy

 

[dartnabout]

Do you need my information for the Dart? You can have the chevy

 

[halifaxhops]

Your that close with the dart? See if you can antique or classic register it. Here it is 100 a year no more yearly inspections or registration fees, well worth it! Grundy insurance i use on the dart, really happy with them had a engine fire two weeks after insuring it, no issues at all. only 250 a year for 10K coverage.

Yes Sir.........and I have never registered anything yet from My FIL. Just got all the paperwork notarized in NJ last week.

Judging by what's hanging from the rearview mirror , my guess is it smells fishery.
Probably duct tape in the glove box.

Morning guys.. spent a few hours on the car yesterday... i'm like 8" from being 100% done welding (other than LCA plates) and ran out of Argon.. so.. it will wait a bit. Ordered a couple of quarts of paint.. will repaint the bay while i'm at all this.. wish i could sandblast it but not in a good spot for it. will use zipstrip and paint strip wheels.. BUT... all of my major stress points are now fixed
