The back and the bottom cushion do not seem to match, I'm wondering if at least one of the pieces is correct for the car and could the two work together if I bought an off the shelf kit to reupholster them.

Speak for yourself.

I have a 77 C3, runs well etc but is smog era and being in California my fun with it is limited. Was my dream can since I was little but I should have held out for a 75 or older.

I've had the new shoes sitting for a month or so and went to put them on today, this is when I discovered one of the spring holes did not match the old shoes. I didn't have much choice but to get creative and use the next hole down with a longer spring. Luckily the spring kits are cheap so I...

Supposedly when used with a MSD the points trigger the box but don’t have the same electrical load and last way longer. Read this years ago when I needed to fix up an old ford.

I go oldskool spring trap for a quick clean kill. I need em dead but I don’t like needless suffering. I’ve had luck with them set up with a little peanut butter. That said since I’ve been some kind of cat savior it’s not really an issue now, the other day one of them left the biggest rat I’ve...

I grabbed my wrenches and quickly slid under the car to assess the situation, turns out there was no problem loosening all the lines on the rear at all, at either end. I then tightened them up and went to work on the stereo :p Just wasn't in the mood to do the brakes today.

Well its in but not wired, it somehow took me way to long to just get it in the dash. I need to decide how I want the rest of the dash to look before I go a bunch further. I'm not even sure if I like that top piece of trim that's loosely in place right now.

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...
