    What is the general opinion of doing a 440 block .060 over?

    That is one VINTAGE sign there! TRW is a very familiar name to me and many others. The shop choices in my immediate area are dwindling. The last good one, the owner is retiring soon or selling out. The only other one has a deserved poor rep. I'll be looking at the valley or LA area when it's...

    Home Alignment Results

    Do your roads have crowns for runoff? This contributes to pulling to the right.

    Look for advice on a low mileage 70 Satellite that I am considering purchasing.

    Since you're mechanically and not body repair inclined, have any friends/associates who are? Maybe labor/skill trades to be had? For sure look the structure over. You could end up with a black hole for funds as others have mentioned.

    Rear differential & suspension refresh

    Put a little Teflon paste on the splines before slipping the yoke on. Keeps the oil from weeping past.

    Rebuilding a 67 Belvidere

    Get a wire feed/MIG unit and use gas for shielding, not flux core, for the welding. Look around in your area for equipment auctions. You may be able to pick up a used unit for a good price. Plenty of options if you go new. Miller, Lincoln, Everlast, ESAB, Hobart, HTP are great units...

    Made in USA Magnum 500 Wheels?

    Before you mount tires on, get them spun to see if they're straight. There have been wobble issues listed by others with Wheel Vintique made units. Combo that with out of round reproduction tires and you'll have a fun ride.

    My daily driver 67 Coronet wagon

    Lares. Been seeing info pop up on them for awhile. Did some investigating, contacted the company for info on fit/changes/mods etc. The gal I was in contact with on email said that Bouchillon has been using them. Figured good enough for me. As far as how it fits, works etc, I won't know for a few...

    My daily driver 67 Coronet wagon

    My Lares items from Rockauto showed up today. I opened up the pump and fitting box to find a broken stud. Just got off the net for the return and replacement. Good thing it's not holding me up. The steering box looks fine. Judging by how the stud looks, someone got a little happy cinching it down.

    Another (different) Disc Brake Conversion Question

    Did you put new copper crush washers on both sides of the banjo fitting?

    Smokin' Rear Brakes

    Is the M/C you're dealing with the one that came on the car when you bought it? If so, maybe the PO installed the wrong unit? Or its defective?

    Multiple hours of masking then 15 minutes to remove. But gotta do it. Looks awesome!

    Smokin' Rear Brakes

    .945 is a little much to me. I'd for for 020-080, maybe .125 tops. Others will chime in on their thoughts.

    Smokin' Rear Brakes

    I did a complicated measurement using my dial calipers. There is a tool you can buy as others have mentioned, off Amazon. Under "master cylinder tool". Looks like an H. Gets you there much faster. My belief is that over time, with supersessions/consolodations etc, that manufactures go for the...

    Got rid of the mineral spirits in my Saftety Kleen vat finally....

    I'm going to try to sore an older, non Cal compliant, washer on one of the next auctions I see. There was a nice Greymills unit but it was on a 55 gal drum. Too big for me. I'll try to find one on a 30. I do see that mineral spirits is more per gallon than diesel or kerosene. Does MS throw off...

    66 Coronet 500 Driver, Light Resto

    Whenever I drive the wagon, there is a fair amount of popping, creaking etc. Its going to be interesting what I find during the changes.
