    Cost to rechrome a bumper

    I just looked on AMD's website and didn't see bumpers listed for a 70 Dodge. And I also didn't see a listing for 68-69 Plymouth bumpers, which is scary as it is a popular year. I have AMD bumpers on my 69 GTX and like the quality.

    Valve guides

    Teenage me took my 318 heads to the machine shop and they gnurled the guides. Never any notable issues over the six subsequent years and many miles of use and abuse.

    Valve guides

    I thought the holes were sized and the liner pressed in. Never heard of threading the hole for a screw in liner.

    Hardwood floor questions

    Only concerns with tile are: Everything you drop on it, breaks. Weight. This is an old building - 1952 - and the floors are...wavy, as it is. Add a layer of backer board, then mastic, then tile and grout.... I've done plenty of tile in my day. My old house, I tiled the basement when I...

    SEM trim black and a good satin black are almost identical to me.

    Hood Pins : What Where When and Why?

    I came to the same conclusion, and took it out. Bob also sold me the car for less than the value of the NOS trim he'd put on it. He didn't always make the best decisions, but we are able to laugh about it over 40 years later.

    Hardwood floor questions

    Tile. Rental house 2 came with tile. It's on it's third tenant since with very little damage. Rental house 1 got tile the last time it got turned over. We are in the process of evicting that tenant, so we haven't seen the condition, but I'd bet no or very little damage. I'd be scared of...

    Hood Pins : What Where When and Why?

    Not a good idea if you have to pop the hood to put out a fire.

    Hood Pins : What Where When and Why?

    The first time was a home taped high bias Maxell UDS II with the other side "Kill Em All". That one hurt. The second time was a prerecorded version as above. The third time was another home made, this time a TDK SA. I believe the B side of that one was "Garage Days".

    Dust Shields for Disc Brake Conversions

    I bought a Dr Diff front disc system (not the ones you’re looking at) and it came with dust shields, so I put them on

    Hood Pins : What Where When and Why?

    My friend Bob used a plastic coated cable with a large padlock when he owned Baby Blue. Served same purpose as hood pins when he raced the car.

    Which adhesive is better?

    X2, I've put a lot of stuff on wood. Contact cement, felt with a THIN coat of white glue.

    Hardwood floor questions

    We have hardwood throughout that we refinished 20+ years ago and its still in great shape in the high use areas. HOWEVER, I would never consider it in a kitchen due to spills, dropped pots, dishes, etc. . We did a full kitchen remodel four years ago, ripped multiple layers of various products...

    Any Brake Master Cylinder Not Made In China?

    At the height of the economic boom of the 1960s, my dad would lecture me about it not being sustainable. He was a WWII veteran, and his take was that we riding the wave from our victory, but it would crest, and the rest of the world would respond with cheaper stuff. His advice was to get a job...

    Valve guides

    Generally worn guides are drilled and tapped and a new bronze guide threaded in - much like a Heli-coil - "set" into the threads then reamed for the proper fit. Then the seat is done based on the guide. Not a job you'd do in your shed !!! I had a set of heads that someone had drilled and...

    Hardwood floor questions

    ...when they slam on the brakes skidding up to a window to look out, a fat gal in high heels will dent it and the biggy, your renters won't give a sh*t about the dents and bruises they put in it. My last three houses have been, totally waterproof, pet friendly, 10 year commercial and lifetime...

    Name your favorite off brand muscle car

    misunderstood your meaning, I think ostentatious might have been too strong or incorrectly used in this instance. (characterized by vulgar or pretentious display)
