    Dream shop....your opinions

    Lots of builds over on Garagejournal.com will put the tubing in the slab (for floor heat) so it's there in the future if funds allow to complete the system. I would look into the cost of that, probably not too much, and I would consider that mandatory in Canada. As for paint on the floors, if...

    Yukon pumpkin

    The listing says it doesn't come with a yoke? Seems odd. BTW, I too noticed the 3rd members on Dr. Diff site were always on backorder so I clicked on the comment box and asked when they'll be in stock. He texted back saying they're built to order, so I ordered mine through text with him. Got it...

    Greetings and question about Imperial 59 start-up!

    Does it still crank ok with the spark plugs in, but with the ignition disconnected? If so, try retarding the timing. But I've read those old direct drive starters are troublesome. Good advice given above to oversize the cables.

    “Easy” oil change drain plug

    The 2 cons for me are: 1. Some sediment and oil will remain in the oil pan since the drain hole is slightly higher now 2. Slower draining My lawn mower engine has something similar, but it's plastic, and I have to go find the hose for it when it's time to drain the oil. It's mounted...

    She was in a Rolling Stones video, that's where I know her from.

    Are these rockers useable?

    I'm no expert, but the one I've seen fail had the pushrod push the whole dome off. It left a perfect circle. I would inspect at the base of the dome on all of those. I've read that over the years, some manufacturers used thinner metal. And it looks to me like the ones you have labeled 2HT+ are...

    Superbird Barn Find Plus Many Slab Sides

    Thanks for posting that. It's refreshing to not have to listen to someone ramble on for 15 minutes while they're driving to their destination, which is far too common on Youtube. A little over a minute in and he was already showing us the good stuff!!!

    Pulling rear drum on my 57 Belvedere, which one?

    I haven’t tried this, but I’ve read you can loosen the nuts by one turn and drive the car in a figure 8 to pop the hubs loose. Worth a try.

    58 plymouth

    I like the front wings, but the rear wings always looked awkward to me.

    383 differences per year

    I thought they kept the bosses on later blocks and just didn't drill and tap them, due to not having to modify/replace the molds?

    Carb fuel line connector

    I prefer using the Vice Grip line wrench vs a flare nut wrench set. The 7LW would be perfect for this. Use the 4LW for brake lines...

    What is a Sport Fury III, or a Sports Fury?

    I have all the stainless, and I bought the inserts several years ago from a guy in Canada that makes them. I also have enough of the horizontal bars on the upsweep to do 1 side. I figure I can make them out of stainless tubing for the other side. I'm leaning towards using emblem tape to hold the...

    What is a Sport Fury III, or a Sports Fury?

    Yeah, I'm still up in the air on how I'm going to build it, but it will definitely have the Fury sportone trim and not the Savoy trim.

    What is a Sport Fury III, or a Sports Fury?

    Does it still count as rare with no engine in it?

    Not sure about Vansauto

    It's been going on for a long time. About 10-12 years ago I ordered 3 parts from them on eBay (before they had a website), and 2 of the 3 items were completely wrong, not even close to what I ordered. I checked their feedback and discovered it was a common occurrence. I sent them a message...

    Safest lube for gas tank O ring?

    Oh OK, makes sense, I knew about Plymouth hardtop not getting the bubble windshield until 1959, but I was thinking the roof was was the same, just the trim and gasket were different.

    I thought Dodge was the same roof? Is it not?

    Extra set of eyes needed (online) for purchase 1959 Imperial Crown

    These cars had 2 wheel cylinders per drum on the front brakes. I've read it's common for them to pull if not adjusted correctly, and most people don't use the manual for adjusting brakes. If the manual is followed step by step, the problem will probably go away.

    1962 Chrysler Newport

    a rear end from a 65-68 C body is a common swap into a forward look car. The spring perches are close enough to not matter and the drum to drum measurement is very close too.
