    Corbeau harness bar...schroth dot 4 point harness and racing seats on street car...safe?

    Its been mentioned, but anything other than an oe-type dot approved seatbelt can get you a ticket on the street, so at least keep the factory stuff in for dor highway duty. That being said, I'd rather have a 4 or 6pt bar over just a harness bar. If you're doing the type of stuff that needs a...

    Progress Thread Motivate Me For The Love Of God

    About the same, my math is failing me at the moment. You want at least as much full thread enagament as the size of the fastener. What rockers are you running btw? I had a horrible time with the geometry of my comp steel ones, pattern just did not want to get as small as I thought it should be.

    I feel your pain, just went thru this with mine. The video method does work nut needs a good eye. Use it as a starting point and the use your adjustable pushrod and a dry erase marker to find the smallest sweep from there. The flat side of the rocker trunnion goes to the nut. There are...

    Progress Thread Street/strip 427w In A Gt Hatch- Slow Progress

    It fits! Will probably end up going with a different hood eventually cause I hate the way this one fits, but it just got bumped way down the priority list.

    Progress Thread Street/strip 427w In A Gt Hatch- Slow Progress

    Thanks man. I do have a cheap miter saw and an abrasive blade that I basically bought years ago just for that purpose, but didn't know how well that blade/disc would work with aluminum. Looking back though probably could have gotten away with a carbide tipped fine pitch saw.

    Progress Thread Street/strip 427w In A Gt Hatch- Slow Progress

    Its only slightly overwhelming. Hydroboost would theoretically be an option, but I'm going manual steering so no pump. Current booster is a 93 cobra unit, so a stock booster would fit way better. Before the spacers it was sitting on the headers, so hopefully now it will clear, and maybe will...

    i got that crap all over mine too, been dreading stripping the bottom of the car for a while now. are you just soaking a rag in the spirits, or are you spraying it on and letting it soak?

    Those look like the same headers I have for the 427 (6228's, iirc), may be a touch on the large side for that 408, but won't hurt it.

    Paint and Body Fox Body Painting 101

    doesnt that stuff need to be neutralized after? fwiw, i found aircraft stripper followed by a da and a couple wire wheels worked better for my at home use stripping the shell. obviously doesnt do a thing for rust, but for paint and body filler it worked great.
