    Does this budget seem realistic

    Ya this is the only way I am going to be able to get away with it, with the wife is by spending a little at the time over a long period of time. BTW nice web site with good info on the floor pans.

    Does this budget seem realistic

    Thanks for all the info. Luckly I have a good bit of tools( what I don't have I can borrow), have a welder and can weld ( decently anyway). Car will not need a full frame up resto, but close to it. I have a hook up on getting the car painted so that will help a good bit. Also like I said earlier...

    Does this budget seem realistic

    I already have the car and I just could not see buying one already built. Friends say I am a gluten for punishment but I see working on it as a stress reliever from work and I enjoy it and am in no hurry to finish. 7k is just a ruff guess I came up with while bored at work.

    Does this budget seem realistic

    I plan on rebuilding the engine fairly close to stock. I am assuming you are building your engine up quite a bit?

    Does this budget seem realistic

    keep in mind this is with me doing all the work myself, minus the car being painted. Does a budget of 6 to 7k sound relistic to do basicly a ground up restore, not including price of car? BTW this is on a 65 coupe.

    Not sure what just happened...

    Does it sound like someone is in the engine hitting it with a hammer? IF so you just might have thrown a rod bearing like Demonic said. Before taking the oil pan off, drain the oil and strain it somehow (through something like screen material or something of the sort) and look for metal...

    What to do with gas

    The gas is reshish color and does not smell to much like gas ( actually stinks a goo bit), I might run it through mower. As far as the little bit left in the tank, think I will just set the tank out in the back yard and let it evaporate. I don't even want to think of the crap I would catch from...

    What to do with gas

    well I got the tank out and drained gas into gas can, got out about 6 gallons. Not sure what to do with what I could not get out. THinking of putting a water hose in it and let water run though it for 20 mins or so, figure that would delute it enough. Ozume67, if you lived a bit closer I...

    What to do with gas

    How safe is that to just leave gas out in the open to evaporate? is it not the fumes that are so dangerous in gas? Not sure how my neighbors would feel about the smell. Also no drain plug on the tank. I had thought about draining it into a container and then pouring it in the woods at the...

    What to do with gas

    I am getting ready to remove the gas tank out of my 65 and was told it only had a few gallons of gas in it when I bought it, well I took the fill spout off and its almost full. Anyone have tips on what to do with 10 or so gallons of 10 year old gas? Thanks

    it works in conjuction with the flux capacitor... I believe the 2500 stall converter is so that on launching the tranny does not catch till 2500 rpms. I may be completely wrong though...
