Have you tried ordering one? I don't really have a "source." I just walked into a smaller family run auto glass shop and asked for a new windshield for my '71 Newport. Three days later it was in.

Looks stock to me, the four lines on the door panels matches the four lines on the seats. Car looks to be sitting a little on the high side.

I really don't think that's worth the effort. The time it takes to visit the yards, finally finding one, carefully removing and transporting it, then installing it, only to find it's pitted. If there wasn't a source of new glass, this would be the only recourse, luckily new glass is available...

These windshields are not hard to get. Go to a smaller auto glass shop, not one of the major chains. Tell them what you need. They'll order it, and install it when it comes in. Or you can install it. Inexpensive? That depends on your definition. Should be under the 500.00$ Mark.

I'm sure they will be quite surprised!

Awesome!!!

I grew up in a wagon, so no package tray naps for me, plenty of other places to curl up though. I used to love sleeping in the cot "upstairs" in our '69 Westfalia, not while driving though. I can't remember the reason, something about safety or something. I think that was just an excuse though...

Hey Snotty, I know your car was a 383-4 originally, was it silver too? And by the looks of it, you opted to not install the buttons on the seats? Looking great so far, I can't wait to see the outcome!

FI pump in tank

Looking at your pictures it appears that perhaps the new starter has a longer snout?

I agree, the louvers look out of place, a little too mad maxish even if they're painted pastel turquoise! Odd that he chose to point the dual antennas straight up, however this is the definition of a "custom." The amount of modifications to the rear end and bumper is a feast for the eyes! I...

Excellent story! Thanks for sharing and nice car! Old yeller you got your ears on?

The link worked for me. Possibly a problem with your browser? Or something, I'm not much of a computer guy.

Pointy, solid counter punch, tapping to turn loose. Move up to a small sharp chisel if no success. Both of these ideas have the potential to break away more of the plug. You could also try epoxying a square drive in there, let it cure and cross your fingers.

After one application of the brakes it's back to seized?

Once you've manually retracted the piston, how much space do you have between the rotor and the pads? Smaller cars have similar calipers but are not as wide. With older rotors and pads, I would think you could get them on, but this might happen. If you have the old caliper around you can compare.

For what it's worth, I was thinking along the same lines as Peter. Which apparently isn't the case.

I have a feeling it'll be down there in a few months.
