    A buyer's learning experience...

    E-Bay Policy Q&A: If I place a bid, how exactly am I obligated to the seller? If you place a bid at or above the minimum bid amount (or in a reserve auction, at or above the reserve amount), and your bid is the high bid at the end of the auction, you are obligated to complete the...

    A buyer's learning experience...

    I went to look at a '70 vert once. I looked underneath at severe frame rail and rocker rust, then opened the driver's door to look at the rest of the floor pans. After lifting the floor mat, I was staring through a hole big enough for a possum to crawl through when my wife began to open the...

    Post your best short joke...

    A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel attached to what appears to be his belt buckle. The bartender asks: "Hey mister, do you know that there's a wheel attached to your pants?" The Pirate replies: " Aaarrrgggghhh.....YES, and it's driving me nuts!" :rolleyes: Bada boom bada bing....

    Parts prep for Primer

    You can go to the PPG website and look up thier product sheets for thier products. I too went through the same delimna last year. I decided to go with an epoxy primer over the bare metal, then body filler over the epoxy primer. Then primer/filler, then sealer, then base coat, then clear coat...

    Aircraft Stipper:: Still potent once dried out?

    The trunk is a tough area. I too avoid liquid strippers when possible, but use them for intricate areas, like door jams. I apply the stripper, let it work, then scrap off what I can with a putty knife or wire brush. Then I let it dry for a day and remove the rest with a wire wheel. I would...

    Headers??

    I ordered a pair yesterday and they were on my porch this morning. WOW !! :cool: Summit was backordered, so I called Jegs. 88300 ELITE SERIES Fits a C4, though. They make some "Swap Headers" that fit the FMX, I've been told.

    Headers??

    "These are ceramic coated Hedmann Elites on a 351W with an AOD behind it. Plenty of room for aftermarket rack and pinion and also plenty of ground clearance." Wow....those look great. Makes me glad that I ordered a set this morning!! Hey, maybe my luck is changing :shrug:

    Headers??

    Ha ! I've been trying to decide for a month, with the same application. $259 for the ceramic coated Hedman Elite, $505 for the ceramic coated Super Comp's. I think that I'm going with the Hedman. I know that you get what you pay for, but I'm not sure that the ground clearance and...

    351W Setup

    I just fixed my similar delimna today. I've been debating for some time on reworking a set of '69 casting 351W heads that already had studs and guide plates installed. I got an unexpected bonus check and I was on the line to Summit as quick as a cat. I don't want to get into a debate about...

    Ahhh! More pulleys I need help IDing!

    Hmmm..... #1: Harmonic Balancer pulley for a 351W with air conditioning and power steering (or whatever motor besides a 351W has a 4-bolt pulley) #2: Can't imagine......never saw a 3-groove water pump pulley #3: Water pump pulley for a motor without AC and PS (only an alternator) That's...

    Exploding Rim!!!!!

    WOW. Wish your brother a speedy recovery. It sounds like a nightmare. I'll never forget a piece on 60 Minutes about 10-15 years ago on exploding 2-piece rims. They said that the amount of energy released in an exploding rim is enough to send the family station wagon (or mini-van) 6 feet...

    3-Speed Toploader swap to 4-Speed Toploader

    Great find ! I did this swap on a '70 with a 302 many years ago. Although it was quite a while back, I think the only thing that I had to change was the speedometer gear for some reason. Even that might not be true. I'm sure that I used the same bellhousing, flywheel, clutch, pressure...

    Pic of my hood...finally done.

    SWEET.... I've been debating about the paint on my '69 Mach 1: wether to do the black in the original matt texture, or gloss with full clear coat. :rolleyes: You helped me make up my mind ! :nice:

    shock towers

    Mine were too bad to weld up, so I replaced them both. It took 8 hours for the first one, and about 4 for the second one, with the car up on a roticery. It wasn't that hard, just time consuming. If you need more details, let me know. Engine has to be out, of course, but it could be done on...

    Restoration of a Wiring Harness

    I just went throught the same thing last week. I used a little solvent and a tooth brush to clean up the connectors and some solvent to wipe down the harness and wires. I removed loose tape and replaced it with a hi-temp electrical tape. On tape that was solid, I taped over the top again...

    '69 351W Header Advice??

    It's about time to drop in the motor, and I really don't want to take a sledge hammer to any new headers. Good or bad experiences would be appreciated. I've got a 1969 Mach 1, with original 351W block, Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads and Stealth intake. C4 Tranny, PS, PB, AC, Shelby drop and...

    Rust Free 70 Mach 1...worth?

    It's worth it without a doubt in my mind. Some may argue, but I looked a LONG time for a 69/70 Mach, before I found mine. It's a very popular body style, with lots of giddy-up and good looks. Make it drivable, and it's an easy $4-5000 car if it's really rust free and original. Just my...

    Loctite?

    Ditto. Use it all the time at work, and it comes apart when needed. Just don't try it with channel locks. :D
