    Interior resto time

    One thing I forgot to mention was if you have to sand any of the grain on the panels there is a way to restore it. Start by laying down a coat of primer or paint then after it starts to dry to the touch, use a piece of scotchbrite and dab it on the surface. The paint should be soft enough to...

    synthetic oil

    You are right on the money when it comes to break in periods on any rebuilt or new engine. Always just run a good petreoleum based oil first then switch over.

    synthetic oil

    With all my Jet Engine experience, I will have to agree it is going to make an improvement. I run this in all my stuff all the way down to my mowers and edgers and never had an oil related issue, and whenever I have needed to pull valve covers (adjustment), everything looks great.

    Interior resto time

    I can weigh in on the plastic, I have had good experience just washing the plastic parts in warm dish washing soap and scrubbing with a mild scotchbrite pad. After rinsing with water and letting dry, spray this plastic primer someone recommended it is called "Bulldog" or something like that...

    Any tips for doing upholstery?

    The advice that has already been given is great, especially the good hog ring pliers I got the padded grip one's and yes they were worth the extra bucks. I did all mine by myself and I recommend that you have someone to help hold or push down when you are trying to get some of those tough rings...

    '70 Mach Suspension Question?

    I think those 265's are going to have a tough time tucking up under the fenders so you might need to keep it higher. But I am sure the others would agree, after changing over to 4 1/2's or 5 leafs, new shocks and sway bars and new 600 coils, 1 in. sway bar and shocks on the front, I can almost...

    69 back up switch

    It is located under the shifter bezel on mine, and I think it is tied in to the neutral safety switch :shrug: Hopefully someone will come along and confirm this.

    '70 Mach Suspension Question?

    Yes, I did the Shelby drop up front and I think the front is just where you want it about an inch above the tire. The only thing you have to remember is that my hood is not installed and front clip so if anything it might come down just a little more. Remember the rear is with 4 1/2 leaf springs...

    '70 Mach Suspension Question?

    Wicked, I will get you a photo and let you see as for what 68 Darkhorse said yes that car has shackles to raise it up but when you install those new 4 1/2's you will think that you haid a pair of shackles, especially because I did the shelby drop. All I can tell you is what my real experience...

    '70 Mach Suspension Question?

    I couldn't help but jump in here because the setup you described is what I did on my 69 except the front springs are 600's and I have P2357014 tires. If you take under consideration, that between our tire sizes we have almost the same total height, I had about 2-3in clearance between the top of...

    resto-mod almost done, custom wheels, give me your thoughts

    I have to admit that is the best car I have seen that color, not my favorite, but I like the black stripes and side scoops. I think tose rims are nice but I could also see it with some nice black magnums or torque thrusts :shrug: Don't want you to change what you have I just think a little...

    Best way to remove old window tinting?

    I have done this on several vehicles and I know this way works. This is not the best time of year because outside in the sun would help but start by soaking paper towels in amonia, get the lemon stuff because it helps with the odor, then stick them on the tint you want to remove. Get some...

    best way to ship a carb (cleaning)

    Do what was suggested earlier but make sure you double wrap this carb in plastic. Either that or take it to a shipping place and have them wrap it, but remember you are dealing with what the shippers call "Hazardous Materials" because of the fuel. If it leaks during shipping you can be heavily...
