As a hobbyist, this has been especially true when it comes to estimating my own labor, no matter how realistic I try to be. My level of skills and equipment can't efficiently support that of my perfectionism, so labor will tend to be high. The "triple" rule has also been pretty close in terms...
I would trust your design, especially since if it failed, I'd still have approximately 70-80% of the total braking power in reserve on the front anyway. I've driven cars with rear drum brakes and thought they stopped pretty well, only to find that the automatic adjusters had been frozen and...
I personally will always use tapered, NOS Timkens if I can get them. Adjusting end play is easy as long as the last guy didn't air wrench the flange nuts without checking where the end play adjuster was and distort it. I do believe the Green bearings to be adequate but will never buy any as...
I'm definitely keeping track of this one, I have a 1966 Coronet 500 needing a lot of work. You do great work, it inspires me, and I'm looking forward to more updates. Happy holidays to you and all!
It's all about individual preference and how hard you want to accelerate. 355's are perfect for me personally. They're steep enough to make me grin but still very pleasant on the highway. I had 373's in a Vette and they're even better for acceleration and weren't annoying at 70 mph. I tried...
The good news is that my 1966 Coronet 500, originally a Poly 318/727, has an 8-3/4 SG rear end with, I think, 3.55's (using the count drive shaft revolutions to one turn of the wheel method).
The "bad" news, is that it's a 741 center section. I'm putting in a 440/833 combination. The 440...
Looking good! I'll be working on my 66 soon so your thread will be very helpful. I'd like to convert my car to power brakes as well, is the Grand Cherokee set up a bolt-on? Sending you a PM for parts.
The fender tag indicates "WW1", white. I'm not yet sure if it ever had a vinyl top or not. My last project, which I sold, was a 1973 Charger and it was also white. I like white for a color, but I don't think this one will be. A light, bright, silver metallic with a black vinyl top is a...
I think I've seen all of your pictures already, I've been lurking for awhile, and they are awesome. I can't imagine anyone's "Mopar dreams" being more fulfilled, thanks for sharing them.
What an incredible before and after, the transition and contrast is amazing! I can see why people call this car ****. Awesome and inspiring, great job!
