Well if I stumbled on an 8 track player that day instead of this maybe I would grabbed it, I do have a small collection of 8 track tapes a coworker sent me. I printed a faceplate for it today, if it works out then I’ll have a company reprint it in ABS, the stuff I used might not survive summer.

What would that look like?

It works! It even pulls in some CB chatter and this was just with a drillbit as the FM antenna and a mag mount CB antenna on my washing machine. Here is a clip, hopefully I don't get a copyright strike.

Yeah I don’t care at all about correct in the factory correct sense of the word. Just clean and functional. I’ve done it once or twice before, most recently on a 1965 Karman Ghia that had a line bust as I drove down a slight hill. I have the crappy flare tool but one practice run and attention...

Thanks!

Yes I'm equipped to do that.

Any idea on what size to ask for? Or just walk in with the wheel cylinder and find whatever screws into it (assuming its the same fitting for the distribution block on the axle)?

Hopefully the weather will let me do the rear brakes on my 69 Coronet with an 8.25 read diff next weekend. I'm anticipating the worst, which is the line getting damaged where it meets the wheel cylinder when I try to remove it, so I want to be prepared. The rubber line is new but the metal lines...

I looked at Torino’s a bit before I found my Coronet, I have a 72 Ranchero and figure a proper coupe on that platform would be nice. Always liked the look of them.

I started to look at doing that, then remembered I have a 3D printer. I'm going back and forth over which approach to take, if I decide I want to angle it any then 3D, but if a simple flat panel does the job then metal. I'll be playing with cardboard this weekend to help make up my mind. The...

Yep will look there as plan B. I have 3 truck stops within 5 miles of my house with CB stuff that I will check first, be nice if I can get it locally.

I looked at the wiring a bit during lunch (benefit of WFH) and it uses two antennas. It came with a bit of harness that belongs to a mystery car and this thing for the radio antenna. I'm guessing its some kind of noise suppressor that appears separate from the Kraco kit. It also has a wire...

Yep! I remember that being one of the first things I learned about them back in the 80s. I've had a few and always liked the technology and enjoyed the one time I fixed a thrift shop find and made my own antenna that went a few miles using coax and a tree. After that didn't really feel like...

Well the nice part is it will fit in the dash in the regular radio location, which is currently a gaping hole.

Just when I was about to give up on finding something that seemed era correct to me (and I wasn't gonna spend the crazy money for a stock radio) I came across this. It's missing the mic but hopefully its a standard plug. Sold as untested but lights up, I usually have good luck with vintage...

Probably, it was a regular sedan I checked out in the JY when I discovered that. You can kind of see it in this pic.

Doesn’t the PT passenger seat fold to form an almost table?

I believe in Cali they made it more difficult after the actress from an old show "My sister Sam" was located by some guy who just had a plate number or something and got her address from the DMV. He then murdered her.

This kind of movie is right up my alley, gonna see if I can find it.

Driveway mechanic here, wish I had a shop. I’ve even used the curb in front of my old house to brace an an arm as I pounded out a bushing and pounded the new one in. I thought that was the height of street side work for me, then I had a neighbor who wanted to body swap a blazer from one frame to...
