Comments are disallowed on your YT video. Afraid??? :lol:

Not to agree with the critic on your YT, but you need to consider that, in the world of DC automotive wiring, that just because you haven't had a problem yet does not mean everything is done properly. It might just be a problem laying in wait. This statement by a critic is just plain wrong...

I have those shortys also. Love 'em. FWIW - if you still have the non-TNT cam in there, I doubt you'll gain much with 3" exh except for more noise.

Excellent work! Are those Hedman shorty headers?

Excellent progress so far in re-awakening this one. Is that sealant or tape on the threaded fitting? If so, you shouldn't need that, it's an SAE 45° flare fitting, and should seal fine w/o sealer. Same flared fitting style as the brake tubing.

@Ripinator I was thinking of a slightly-larger bezel that would clamp the original to the doorpanel with small tasteful stainless screws (probably 6 to ensure it didn't bow in hte middle). Could be CNC'd out of aluminum and then polished. Would take a little time, but I think I could make...

My L's original panels have those reflectors, but the manner they are stored in the basement I can't see the backside. Bbut I can see the bezel on one of them and it's really narrow, I'm not sure even a #0 screw could fit it. Rip - how much are you willing to deviate from original? I might...

I have a little of that in one of my cars. A mystery location for sure.

Don't know what your plans are for brakes, but here's a good read: 1964 New Yorker gets 1978 Cordoba 11.75-disc brakes.

Congrats, @John Kelly. There are a lot of guys in ILL, so you should make some friends there. I've met a few of them by taking a trip with @ayilar, he's an ambassador for sure. Glad to see that car stayed in the FCBO family, I thought it was a striking car when I saw it for sale. Good colors.

The cost can be a funny thing too, sometimes. A hobbyist working on his own stuff doesn't have the experience but has pride and determination to succeed. But maybe he figures a professional will surely do a better job. A professional has the skills and practice, but might do a half-*** job...

yes, cedar dog-eared fence boards are an economical source for non-fencing wood use. Last year the 1x1 wooden garden stakes at the local Menards were saw-cut from maple, but had steps where they seemingly cut them 1/2-way thru from opposite sides. (???) This year they have been a mix of oak and...

And on top of that, the people that are capable are slowly retiring. And it's sometimes more time-consuming researching who is still around, vs learning to do it yourself.

I like the corrugated tin. I used some of that to skin a cedar-framed raised-garden box. Never considered using it to make the garage a cool place, though. If you need denser storage, here's something I did in my garage. It's bigger and more HD than it needed to be, but it'll hold a ton of...

I believe you mean 35mph. Dad's '80 Diplomat hit lockup at 35, no matter what the driving conditions were. Trying to get a small trailer up to highway speed at 80% throttle? Here, let me help you by further reducing the performance of a 120hp 318 fighting thru 2.24 axle gears. I don't see if...

Yeah, if that is recent undercoating I'd leave it alone unless it has areas that aren't sealed well. It's the factory undercoating, that may have cracks/voids allowing moisture to get behind, that needs to be dealt with. IMO it's near impossible to get all that stuff off unless the car is on a...

The makes me wonder how this car would be with a new 8-speed 8HP70. Would need careful consideration of axle ratio and tire dia. And even then, I'm betting there would be 1 or 2 gears that weren't usable. But the other 6-7 would make for a definite improvement.

This car would be an ideal application for the Borg Warner R10 or R11 overdrive, but I have not yet head of an adaptation to a 60s/70 Mopar trans. It functions somewhat like the Gear Vendors, in that it allows some gear splitting (but not in every gear). IIRC, it also allows freewheeling under...

'Leave' if you want, and there are options to accept future messages. Although I don't know what happens if every participants 'leaves'. If you want to retain the info, you have 2 options (that I know of): You can 'export' and the website will make a file for you, that you need to wait on...

BTW - welcome to the group, @Bobbyc. If you buy the car, and you pass thru Indy on this adventure (and I presume you would on the way to KY), perhaps we can meet somewhere for a burger.
