    Crutchfield Radio.

    Like stated above, they aren't cheap. But, they are based and work solely out of Charlottesville VA. When you call, you speak to a Virginian. If you have any issues, they are handled on the spot. Their customer service is second to none. I'd rather pay a little extra and talk to a human I can...

    TFX International Specialized Vehicle Transport - WATCH OUT FOR THIS COMPANY WHOSE MOTTO IS " WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE "

    I think the OP's original point stands. He paid for a specific service. The shipper agreed to those specifics. He's pissed. I think we can all understand that. Now, if I had that kind of dough and those kind of cars. I'd go get it myself. Or have one of my employees, trained the way I want them...

    Would you guys be concerned about this?

    Here in the eastern USA that's a show winner. Wire brush it, spend some time under it with a spray can. Looks like a good car.

    Deflate a basket ball slide it in the door and inflate it. I've never done it, but I watched others with pretty good results.

    Fixing a noisy, tinny sounding trunk lid on my Formal

    You used to be able to buy strips of black adhesive "dum dum" at Lowe's. A friend of mine got a box of it for a Samurai we were working on years ago. I'd go with something like that before spray foam.

    Group 24, 27 or 34 battery? Good brand? Marine/RV ?

    The original amount of CCA is more than likely closer to 350-450. I wouldn't worry about that. Since every battery you buy will have more. At one time Advance Auto Parts store look up would give you orig CCA. As far as brand goes, there aren't but a few battery plants out there. Most of the...

    New distributor trouble

    That distributor requires a constant 12 volts. Anything less will burn up the ignition module. I agree with remcharger, run 12V to it from the battery. Also, the modules in those kits are generally junk. I've had to replace nearly every one I've ever installed.

    Need Vacuum help - 1973 318ci with a Carter bbd

    The engine doesn't "need" any of it. I would block it all off, then add back the vital lines one by one until the engine starts to act up. Once it does, test that circuit for a leak. I'd start with the brake booster, then the vacuum advance and so on. Good luck

    NOT MINE 52-Mile 1977 Newport Sedan on BaT (No Reserve)

    Nearly thirty years ago, I worked for a tobacco farmer back in KY who rented some acreage off a gentleman. In the landowners three car garage behind his house was a mundane 1971 Camaro. 307, powerglide car. Green with a green vinyl top and black interior. He bought it for his wife new. A year...

    Re-painting interior plastic chrome trim

    Molotow is another option. They sell pens internet and retail, I bought one from Hobby Lobby. Not cheap but, works great.

    Non-running 440

    It happened to a friend's dad's 68 Chevelle with a 396 when I was in high school. They just finished, installed, tuned and tested it. One last adjustment on the carb or timing or something. I don't know which one shut the hood. But, the air cleaner didn't get put back on. Once they hit the...
