I would like to see a couple chassis photos.

Looks like I should have only measured the threaded portion of the bolts which makes them 3-5/8” bolts. That seems to be standard length. Don’t know where the shorty bolts came from.

BTT - anyone?

I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get the front of my 66 Sat up without burying the adjuster screws so finally just bought a new set from PST and put them in today. Found my answer I guess. Old ones are 3-1/2” and new ones are 4 “ long. So what was original? I got the car sitting good...

Power steering on the Hemi - finally.

I would hope they had a means of releasing the canopy completely as I don’t see how you could ever bail out with that manner of canopy operation.

I’m not sure there is anything that is considered temporary and if there was it would probably run afoul of various State laws. The semi-permanent films I’ve read about are expensive and seem to only last 1-2 years although possibly an old car that spends most of its time in the garage might...
