Holy crap, He spent a good part of the day just getting the intake manifold off that thing, still trying to figure where to hook up the chains to the pull the motor, there's bolt holes in the back of the heads if he can get to them! He was thinking of selling the motor, but with all the work...

The shops back in action, Marks tranny started slipping & He ended up buying a motor with less milage & the trannyHis idea was to pull the cross member so he could pull it out the front with hood onGot that out but it was a struggle never go back without at least loosening the fenders, So last...

Found a good use for all that 1/4" tape I got by mistake, wanted to see what it would look like if I extended my stripe all the way to the front I actually like the green outline, so If I ever get bored enough to do this, I will buy green pinstriping tape & outline it too!

That I would assume, With 3 sons my cars were always mid (81 malibue) when the first was born & then the 87 caprice , all full size after that. They never would have fit in the cuda after they were 11 or 12, all 6 footers, all bigger than me & I'm 6'1" Even during the gas crunch I had the 66...

Ahhhh, a VW, never would have thought that, my brother had a beetle back in the 70's

Now you lost me what's a GTI?

Not that I followed what's out there these days, probably wouldn't think much of a camaro or mustang but that sounds good, get some better pics, get this old man up to date!

Not my problem anymore, I think this was my last car, at 73 I'm afraid of leaving a half done pile-o- parts back there for my kids to deal with when I kick the bucket. When I get bored I think about a duster, prices not in the stratosphere yet, just to give me something extra to keep me busy...

Holy schmoley , I though I paid way too much when I bought the whole set for 800ish. which to my pleasant surprise were never in a car. 1 pc over 400............. 288-VRH Mopar 1970 E-Body Passenger Side A/C Vent

They do clog up easy, my strainer was just a little too big, I shot a lot of chewed up leaves thru when I was blasting, they didn't seem to clog things up, I did notice my pick up hose would load up & stop things, if I kept it fairly straight with no dips in it, it worked well?

Took her out for the first ride yesterday, all went well no glitches I could pick up. Ran into another car guy, the hometown show never got rescheduled last year, maybe she'll make a show this year?

Well done now lets hope they send the right ones!!!

That's nuts, but at least they were small items, shippings gone nuts in the last few years, I buy & sell a lot of model trains, I was shipping 20+ pounds of tools to Jass for 8 or 9 bucks, now a 3lb box of trains is 13 or 14 for the same distance. So a full bearing set for 73 & just the seals...

Used them some, also a lot of mancini racing, don't know how much price checking I did but they had what I needed & seemed reasonable ?

When I was 13 or 14 an older guy moved in across the street with a 57 chevy, with a corvette 327 fuel injected engine, we used to wax the moonies for him. The start of my interest in cars. every now & then we would hunt the junk yards for parts, pick up a chrome tidbit for a couple of bucks...

It's amazing how the used prices have climbed , just from the 1st cuda to second, things doubled & tripled. I bet if I searched now they doubled again!

Do you have a tubing bending kit? I think I still have a set in the garage from my A/C days,, but honestly would have to dig around to see if it's still here. If you can use it I can get it out to you, let me know if you need & I will hunt for it. Again not positive I still have it have cleaned...

Well my seat & headliner guy is out, He didn't even want to drive an hour to do my stripe. they were father & son too! On the first car I bought 2 0r 3 different ebay lots of glass hardware, I used more on the 2nd car I guess texas heat was worse than long island salt on the plastic parts...

Moving along pretty good, bet you can't wait for that first burnout!

Too quiet around here, did you get the car back home yet?
