Has anyone actually seen factory spot welds fail? Got o any junk yard and look at the wrecks, new or old, and see if any broke apart at the spot welds. I saw many heavily crashed cars as an auto body tech and saw very few spot welds that were broken, usually the metal is torn apart before spot...

The wleding on those is soooo nice.. i had to do mine on my back on the floor and they didn't look near as good... the seam sealer covering them looks great though :)

This is what happens when you make a car too stiff.... UTG told me so :)

My years long restoration continues, and I am now getting into the engine bay. Thinking all is well since the engine was rebuilt some time before I purchased, I now realize the radiator is as wrong, the fan was wrong, the water pump was incorrect , etc etc (yeah I know, raises a few red flags...

Dont worry, I know what's in there, this will be 3 times in 6 months i replace the mounts, I somehow had a rubber mount last me 1 hit and it broke. I'm replacing them with solids that I have in my house because the mancini poly mounts broke too. I'm getting tired, replacing the mounts with...

Happy birthday and many more!!

I think just adding torque boxes might transfer the flex to a different area of the unibody as it will still be allowed to flex without the SFCs installed; installing SFCs, no matter what type, ties in the front and rear floor pan/frame rails/suspension points so REDUCES overall chassis flex...

Both doors sag downward. I bought new hinges but haven’t put them in yet. I was anticipating part of the issue might be with the latch. The latch surface that rides on the post is fairly worn. I got new post. Haven’t put those in yet either. I know it’s slim to no chance of finding any latches...

Thanks, would you since it's a heavier stick car, go with the stiff sidewall? The other advantage is that mickey thompson says the height is a half inch higher on the stiff sidewall, so it matches my 295/50-15s at 26.5 inches. I just don't really want to go even shorter, the tires I have look...

You should see the spatula you need for that one, more like a shovel!!

ah.. no. that's the same season as here.... although i tend to drive til salt hits the road which is mid nov-early december... I finally put heat in my garage after 22 years this winter and OMG... wish i had done it 20 years ago. I just went with a ceiling hung electric heater and it makes such...

Living East of you, the season is short, usually mid-May, til mid-October, so they get up late, and go to bed early, with everything else that needs to be done to prep. Also, never did heat in my garage, so my time out there is seasonal also. Maybe someday we'll be South of here, where the table...

Happy Birthday!!

My advice is to not get hung up on the number it runs. Having fun is way more important than bragging rights. After all, unless you’re driving a top fuel dragster, there’s always someone faster.

wrapped and bagged? as in storage? why don't you drive them?

No not yet. I am going to CAREFULLY remove the door panel to inspect and lube the latch.

My cars are wrapped up & bagged more than they're out, so that's all I have for most of the year are pics ! Trying to get some feedback to make the next one a step up ???

Thanks for these pics - helps a lot. Couple of questions - what is pedal pressure and travel like? I was wondering if it would be possible to get a side shot of the aluminum bracket / spacer between the slave and firewall. Also, where was that adapter / slave spacer sourced? Big thanks, Charlie

Hard to put times on a stick car as it’s so driver dependent. 71 b body with a 3.55 gear and a close ratio trans isn’t going to be a barn burner. Low 14’s maybe a high 13 with a good driver.
