    Thanks for the tip, I have some spare sheet metal to practice on. When welding in floor pans do I have to have a weld around the entire floorpan? Or do you just do a short weld every few inches? Thanks, Jim

    Using Flux Core for floorpans?

    What do you guys think about using Flux Core for floorpans? I just bought a Hobart 125 welder, it comes ready to do flux core so im hoping that will work OK for floor pans, but some people told me it burns through thin metal? I can get the gas hookup for 90 dollars from Sears and use solid...

    While were on welders....

    Is flux core any good for doing things like Battery tray sheet metal and tailights panels? I think they are just spot welds every few inches versus running a bead? Thanks, Jim

    How does this cam sound for a 351c? I want a 400HP 351c. I will be running 4bbl CC heads, flat tops, torker intake, 750DP, roller rockers. Would I need something more wild or maybe go to a solid cam? 290 intake/300 exhaust Duration at .050 in. cam lift: 224 intake/234 exhaust * Gross...

    12 to 1 compression in a 351c?

    Could anyone tell me if I could run this on 94 octane? WOuld this be too high for a street/strip car? Its a 351c with boss heads and domed pistons. Probally similiar to a original BOSS 351 as far as compression. Is there any easy way to lower compression for a street car? Thanks, Jim

    The rear fender wells are just rusted along the seam so looking in past the back tire I can inside the car were a weld use to be, its about a 6in by 2in strip of rust, im guessing it can be repaired without replacing the entire fender well? The rest of the fender well is in good shape since the...

    Mopar guys design 70' concept car?

    1967 Shelby Cobra GT 500 Mustang ("Eleanor")

    A "real" Eleanor clone is a 1973 Mach 1 with a 351w (not sure why they didn't use a Cleveland)? The movie remake clones tend to be a fad among the younger kids, maybe its the body kits. I am building a clone though, a 1971 BOSS 351 clone, the only thing I really have to change though is the...
