Grind off? I think all my parts either screwed or snapped in place?

Side glass is no fun, I cursed a lot doing the 'Cuda's , I bought like 4 used lots of the hardware & plastic pieces, did manage to get 2 good sets out of them, I think they sell it new now? Just a lot of adjust this, that changes something else (just like hoods!) you'll finally get em "close...

I had some kind of tapping/knocking on mine , sounded like pass side of motor but it went away as soon as the oil got it soaked, took a chance & just cleaned everything up, I did remove adjustable rockers & put on stock ones with new push rods. To my pleasent surprise 12 years later on it's...

Not too shabby for a home grown innovation!!! :cool:

:cool: I was gonna give you a day or 2 more!

You'll figure it out!

Well when your pretty much building the rear of the car from scratch I'd say your moving along at a pretty good clip!

In another neighborhood! That's about an 1" lower than the high point on my property, flash floods my whole property is under a 14" high river, when I had tires on rims stacked one year they & my garbage pails floated across the street & almost made it into the stream that hit's the reservoir a...

So the season is ending , figured I'd see if anyone shows at a local cruise in? First I had to clean my other hobby off the hood. Start it up & when I walked around there was a big puddle out back, got flooded a week or so ago, not high enough to get in the tips, so it must have gotten in in...

Those E-bodies are good for something! Quite the project there, so glad all I had to do was stick in a new stock gas tank! Way beyond my skill set!

Fun fun fun!!!

Those rivets are a sore spot with me, they wanted a fortune for those "special" rivets, I had a box of 1000 reg rivets from work I paid like 6 bucks for , I got the dash pad guy to through them in with the job for 20 bucks Yep just for 2. They both popped on installation & held nothing down, I...

I'm trying to remember how I got through stripping not one but 2 whole cars down to bare metal in my yard, hundreds of wire wheels, burnt out at least 2 drills, many many grinding pads & discs, broke one of the larger electric polisher/grinders & yet survived! No way I could do half of one car...

I think I used just dashes too, Had to trim around the A/C vents to finagle those in, but the top & front were otherwise very nice. Repro quarter skin on first car, side marker light was cut out wrong, drove back up to Conn. & the whole row of 6 or 7 were all cut the same way, took it to the...

Mark got an early (well for me) start, had the steering box in & started on the grille. Only problem (well so far) is the U-nuts on the new grill wee smaller than the old, so have to loosen a couple to try & get the u-nuts off the old grille on the new, tight space??? Paints still on, looks...

Dang, that metal looks pretty good?

Creep day! A tad cooler & less humid, so today was paint some garbage day. I forgot how slow the wire wheel process was when I started on the steering box! Oh yea, a little mission creep! Gave it about an hour, when mark showed up & said he really didn't care too much abut how it looked, so I...

sounds like a busy schedule, enjoy !

I think you have your own case of mission creep! 50ish year old stuff is full of surprises!
