Short lining always goes forward. They are the front shoes on the rear. Napa showed 2 sets, same number, one followed by NC. I have the NC set coming and will see what I end up with. Looking at my service manual pictures they look right. Maybe the FBBO thread steered me wrong.
I lost a wheel cylinder on my 70 Newport. This caused a piece of the lining to chunk off.
I grabbed a new set from Napa and the front shoe lining is set an inch further back than the old one. Is okay to run? According to the post that I read on FBBO it isn't.
Here's the FBBO post. Drum...
What is so special about an N code car?
It was his dad's car. Another solid Nevada car. That's all I know about the history of the car. I do have the build sheet I will post
It is all tore apart/disassembled. I think drugs or alcohol were involved in that.
The trim was in the other convertible. It is looking like I might have and extra set of hardtop trim. I'm still in the process of sorting everything out. I did find an extra instrument cluster. IIRC that makes 3 I have now. I did find a complete jack, now I won't have to toss my handy man in the...
Well being excited about a car will get a guy places. The guy that I bought this car from called me back and offered me his 1970 Newport convertible and his 1969 or 1970 300 2 Dr hardtop parts car and all of his parts delivered for 2900.00 I got him down to 2400.00. He dropped the convertible...
I unrapped and got into my 300 this morning. I have an extra set of armrests, the trim in the box was for the doors and fenders. The other box that I thought was trim was a trunk mat. I am still missing the rear trim where the boot clips on. I might just have to use snaps. now the guy wants to...
We made it home with it. The windshield came out unscathed as it was covered, my pick up windshield wasn't so lucky.
We drove it on the trailer sputtering and popping yesterday. When we went to start it to pull it off the trailer it would only run with the prime shot out of the fuel bottle. We...
Ayilar, the owner says the build sheet is under the front seat. He said it looked fragile so he didn't mess with it. He was going to use it for a parts car but decided it was too nice and that it needed a good home.
It's a disc brake car
I can't wait to pick it up Friday and get started on...
I passed on this right before my back surgery a couple months ago. The seller said the guy that wanted it jerked his chain for a couple months. It popped up for sale again so I grabbed it. Facebook The seller is going to meet me halfway in SLC UT. This one is going to get back to being...
I've gotten 2 correct grain tops from Kee Auto Tops. Well really 1 and 1/4 tops. I imagine their price will be better than SMS or Legendary. The only drawback is theirs will probably be a universal top, or at least that's what they had for my 73 Monaco Hardtop when I checked. It's what I'm going...
Here you go. This guy uses 4 way stretch vinyl, foam and bondo. There used to be a video of a guy in Cheyenne Wyoming on The Hog Ring but it is gone. He sewed the dash cover on a 70 Road Runner and it turned out nice.
