Lol, yeah that's the one :lol:

Depends if you want the perfect car or not. I wasn’t chasing perfection clearly but what I did do was, with minimal effort and money, get this thing from the junkyard to the road. Drive it, enjoy it, save it. I’m into this thing maybe $3500 total and it was a MESS

Awesome couple of weekends really wringing this thing out on highways and backroads. Ran it out to Worcester yesterday in 95 degree heat and it ran cool and behaved itself in a way my MG never would. Made it to the 24hrs of LeMons out in Thompson CT with a VW buddy and managed to cannonball down...

So after a radiator swap, pulling the fuel tank to reseal the sender (getting drenched in about three gallons of gas), slicing the brass flare nipple out of a seized power steering pump to install into an o-ring pump I had lying around, straightening a pretzeled push rod and then spending the...

Well I couldn’t find a hose with the correct fittings on both ends, couldn’t find an adapter, local hose place couldn’t make me one. What to do? Well, the TRW has the brass fitting in it and I have an angle grinder……. Ten minutes later, power steering!

Oh perfect! Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’ve got an old seized TRW pump that I’m replacing with a 69-73 Federal pump that I have lying around. The TRW high pressure port has an inverted flare fitting in the pump body whereas the Federal appears to have something else. Can anyone tell me what kind of fitting or adapter I...

Pretty much exactly three months ago I finally bit the bullet on this thing and set about tackling all the issues I had no idea how to fix. Lots of burns, bruises, wrong parts and wrecked parts later this heap of rust that had been sitting in a RI junk yard since 1989 is now back on the road...

I just replaced all this on my 67 Monaco after installing a new-ish tank. It’s pretty much the same I think. The two vents pictured, the short one clips to the crossbar that the shock tops mount to just above the front of the tank. The long goofy one enters the trunk via the first grommet...

Just got this thing registered this morning for the first time since 1989! I’ve done a bunch of little things here and there buttoning up the build including all new brake hardware and shoes, seam sealing and painting, seatbelts, making a filler neck, trying to solve a frozen diff fill plug...

What I REALLY need are parts that fit the things they're designed to fit! :D Just out of interest I pressed out the one oversize stud I dared to install and tried one of the old original studs in the hole. It span freely in the hole so there's clearly a huge size difference between them. The...

This doesn’t make sense because the original stud shoulders DO fit through the drum holes and sit flush with the drum face because otherwise how could they be swedged to the drum? When I tried to press in the new studs which have a knurl diameter of 0.65 (which is THE SAME for almost all of...

Well I'm about done with this >:( Ordered lug studs for the 3" brakes because they're all the same and all the lug studs I've found so far are too wide in the shoulder to either fit the drum or the hub. The current set do in fact fit the aftermarket drums but will not press into the hub, like...

Ok this is driving me crazy. Can anyone tell me how to identify Budd vs Kelsey Hayes brakes? There’s nothing on it anywhere that I can find. I’m trying to order drums from Rock Auto (before anyone decides to please don’t hijack this thread with complaints about Rock Auto, I know) and I cannot...

Yeah. Seems pretty standard for a 67 Monaco
