    Formal Styling

    For what it's worth, probably not much, but owning both a '77 Chrysler and a '75 Oldsmobile, the Chrysler feels much more "roomy" especially in the back seat. Front seat room is similar but the deep padding on the Olds seats takes up more room and it is fairly noticeable. I'm not a huge guy, but...

    Took the Chrysler and some buddies down to the last day of this year's Hot Rod Power Tour in Champaign Illinois today, had a great time. It was HOT today, 90s, humid, sunny, got a nice tan/burn lol. Lots of cars, massive parking lots full, every kind of everything. Was an awesome show. Got to...

    Thanks guys!! 77NY- kinda. Leave the main motor to drivers connection until last, then you can swing the wipers back and forth, giving you enough room to scrape just a reasonable amount of skin off of your hands while getting the other bushings. I pulled the side to side and the motor to...

Tracks straight, had it on a lift, everything else seems in good shape, no play when I had a helper turning th wheel, and...

    '73- Thanks! Well AC started blowing warm again the other day, seems like there was.a blockage at the Expansion Block. Pulled everything apart, flushed the Condenser, Lines, and Evap, replaced O rings, and service ports, and installed a new drier. Decided to try some PAG oil and 134a, more as...

    Thanks! I was more bummed about missing the show than my car to be completely honest and transparent! Back was wrecked the next morning, but went to the doc the next day then again last week, everything looks fine, just a really good muscle pull. Feel fine now, back to flinging myself on and...

    Well, what an exciting week. Last Saturday morning, around 1 or so AM, on the way home from work, I was planning on taking a nap then heading to the C body show in Union. Well life had different plans. Dead stop on the Eisenhower Expy, due to construction and I got blasted from behind at an...

    I agree. The day I dont have it is when it'll fail. As long as I keep it in the trunk it'll probably never break lol. Got my conversion housings in for the H4 bulbs, glass, seem really nice, and look original. I bought a relay harness, and beefed it up a bit, some of the ground wires were a...

    Its moved! Thanks for the suggestions guys, appreciate it. Had to enlarge one of the holes, other one was fine. 93 here today, and didn't have much airflow from the drivers side vent.
