    Has the power for sure and I intend to have fun at Buttonwillow, Willow Springs, maybe Thunderhill and some autocross/solo fun. Might hit Famosa just because but I have way more fun in the twisty stuff. The K-frame is just the tip of the iceberg for my 65. Lots done and more to come. No show...

    My new to me 64 Polara

    Different year of course but my 65 500 is a factory a/c car. All the plumbing was right behind the distributor[ on the 318]. Heater, expansion valve etc. All got capped off and moved since I'm using a 70 K-frame which moves the engine back 1.5".

    Solvent base paint

    In some counties you can buy solvent based material. Do some research. As a hobbyist, you are not held to the same standards as a shop due to the amount of material used and VOC's generated. Vegas is an option. Also down near San Diego, there is a company that has a color library back to the...

    Later on here, I added in reinforcement pieces around the steering box mount. Also finally had the chance to trim off the excess material from the engine mount brackets. Partially just because and the other to gain more clearance for the oil line from the pump to the pan. Milodon external pickup...

    Plus a skid plate. From the factory, the K had around 40 or so plug welds. I added in over 120. Used a Blair Rotabroach[ hole cutter] set to cut through one layer with the exception of the Idler Arm mount. Two layers there with different sizes. Cut pockets below the lower control arm shaft...

    PSA on used wheels

    And Coker owns Wheel Vintiques who makes reproduction cop wheels. Yeah, pretty piss poor for new. On Sunday I got some potential info on who might have the ability to straighten steel wheels. My old boss, bless his Portagee heart, has a friend who used to build custom steel wheels plus...

    PSA on used wheels

    Since you mention that and one of the reasons I'll be checking even new ones, one of my Saturday car compadres clued me in on just that subject. He got some new wheels for his Restomod Pontiac Woodie. They were bad and the manufacture told him thats just how they are. WTF!
