Same here. I love to paint outside the lines and do some things different than what is OEM. I see nothing wrong with trying new things. If one could build a tubular K member with some manner of reinforcement that actually ties the frame rails together....while resisting the tendency for the...

They are not ridiculously heavy. They are far more rigid than any tubular K member. Your front end will be stiffer with a factory unit.

Merry Birthday to a fellow '70 Charger owner!

This extension moves the buckle out about 2 1/2 to 3 inches. I could make a longer extension but this was my first effort. Compared to the other side... It isn't much but it should help. I'm going to try to slip on some sort of vinyl sleeve to stiffen the belt. Ideally, I'd like it so...

I didn't like how short the belts were, the ones with the receiver latch. I'd prefer that they were longer and stuck up between the seats a little more. These belts are just nylon without the plastic/vinyl covers like here: I wanted to extend the belts so they would not get shoved in...

Bear with me here… I’m the type of guy that adjusts the height to what I like regardless of any factory setting but here is what makes sense to me. Graphic in the FSM: Text from it in #3 states to measure from the lowest point of one adjusting blade. The blade is the “finger” that rotates...

The aluminum oxide stuff sounds interesting. Looking back in this thread, I already tried it and maybe the grit was too fine because it didn't work well for me and what I do. My stuff here isn't that rusty, just dirty, grimy and often the "ugly" is in nooks and crannies where a wire wheel cannot...

A good guideline is that the wheel diameter needs to be at least 3" larger than the brake rotor size. 11" brakes, 14" wheels. 12" brakes, 15" wheels. I have a 13" front brake setup the easily fits under the 18s....

There are many that think the ethanol actually tests higher in octane than pure gasoline with the same rating.

The 1.03 size is immensely popular for a good reason. It is a vast improvement over the stock torsion bars without being too stiff.

That is not very fast. A slant six with three plug wires missing can do 25 mph.

To me, the blacked out grille was trendy many years ago but isn't as common nowadays. As far as painted bumpers, I personally don't mind them when they are OEM like the Pontiacs or the 71 B and E bodies. Painted steel bumpers can look great but the color matters. Black looks good because a...

Yeah, it really is disappointing. I'd expect to soon see threads discussing the difficulty of adjusting a fan belt, checking for vacuum leaks, the frustration with installing spark plug wires and a thrilling exchange on what torque setting to use on air cleaner wing nuts. Sure, we all start off...

Lottery, here I come !

Seriously, multiple millions of cars were built this way. Jeez, GM put the coil in the distributor cap in the HEI distributors, most of them between the air cleaner and firewall where they baked in the heat....yet they survived. Back then, the parts had to at least survive the warranty period...
