    motor not lining up right with k member

    Did you double check the motor mounts to make sure you put them on the right side? I know it sounds silly, but that could do it. Tim

    Looking for fresh ideas under the hood..

    IMO, the easiest way to hide your wires and vacuum lines is to remove the fenders. I am still waiting for someone to get freaky and run the 10-pin connecters from the transmission tunnel like Paul and I did (unless I missed anyone). Of course I just followed his lead... Tim

    Looking for fresh ideas under the hood..

    I have to give Paul (ALMOST STOCK) a ton of credit as well. I talked to him on the phone and email, probably more than I ever have with anyone. I learned a lot from him as well as how to be creative with my own ideas as well. Not only did he help out with all of my questions, I also made one...

    Rubber trim removal

    The plastic molding that attaches to the roof has a couple of screws in the A-pillar and uses clips and some type of rubber gooey stuff to make it stick/seal. Your quarter panel window molding is attached to the glass. The windows are screwed in and have glue (that sticks really well) to help...

    Strut Tower Braces cracking firewall

    With the MM STB, you don't have to drill any holes into the firewall and it seems like you get some extra support by bolting into the pinch welds versus the firewall. I used to have a MAC STB, but have the MM STB now. IMO, the MM is a heck of a lot better design and more sturdy. You can't go...

    Ballpark price for a good paintjob?

    Just remember that black is the hardest to paint and the hardest to make look good. Every single imperfection is going to show, especially orange peel. You get what you pay for. Here is 5k's worth, with a lifetime guarantee...

    :(

    That's because you have no clue about dirt/asphalt oval track racing. There are more to race cars than just looking pretty. Sometimes going fast and winning is more important. It has some Esslinger 4 cylinder parts in it and the motor is pretty stout, but I didn't figure you guys would know...

    Story About Your Car

    Mine is pretty simple as well. Deployed to the Mid-East a few weeks after 9/11. Re-enlisted and got a 60k (tax free) bonus from Uncle Sam and started looking for my 93. I found one on Auto Trader (Orlando) that had 45k miles on it and it was in mint, garage kept and babied condition. In...

    Metal polishing question??

    Yep, just like Derek said, there are different coarse wheels you can get. Just out of curiosity, what color is your nylon wheel? The one in Paul's write up is a blue one and that is a fine coarse wheel, but color doesn't mean much. Ussually the thicker the nylon strands, the coarser the wheel...

    I hope it's not a scam, but I kind of wondered about the price when I saw it. We buy lots of stuff from that site, so I know the site is legit. Tim
