    Not sure if I posted any pics of my car but being my first project I think I would have been better off with something that needed less work but im starting to make some progress. Rust is my main problem. Jim

    Weather stripping?

    Could anyone tell me if the front and rear winshield weather stripping should be replaced before or after the body work and paint is done? Now that I got the engine bay and suspension done I feel like im on a roll and trying to get moving and have the car done by winter. Thanks, Jim

    Few body work questions.

    I have been thinking about priming some of my body peices to keep them from rusting like the front fenders, I have them sanded smooth but was wondering if I should spray paint primer them. IM going to have it painted eventually by the shop so should I leave them bare? Also, the top of the...

    need help going from a C6 to a C4 what do I need to change?

    Don't take my word but I think you need a larger driveshaft since the c6 tranny is longer then the c4, you also need a small block bellhousing for a 289, shifter linkage, crossmember, mounts, cooler lines. Im doing a FMX to c4 swap. I heard the FMX driveshaft will work with a c4 although it...

    Balljoint problem

    FMX to C6....Final Decision

    From what I have been told you dont need to change the driveshaft for a FMX to c4 swap just the yoke and crossmemember? I seen one guy that builds them to handle 450HP for like 700 dollars which includes a 2 year warrenty. I'll probally go c4 and keep my FMX parts in case I ever want to switch...

    Found some great stuf for rust...

    I found some stuff called De-Oxy its pretty expensive but works really well. I spent the past few days trying to sand down the control arms and clean them up, I got tired of it so remembered a bottle of De-OXY I got last year, you add a 50/50 mix with water and it can be reused several times...

    O.K. forget fixing the FMX. Will a C4 bolt up the same?

    I was told on my 1973 going from a FMX to a built c4 I would need a new yoke, crossmember, cooler lines, linkage. I was told the driveshaft will work, I seen a webpage that said the difference between a FMX and c4 was FMX=30 3/4" C4=30 1/4" I havn't done it yet but im building a built c4 when...
