The car is going to paint jail in about a week. I need to source some for the painter. Not really a rush but I will need them sooner than later. We spent all day yesterday after church stripping the car. That's when I noticed them for the first time

Thanks for the effort. I will follow up on it

So you were saying the 100% Argon didn't work for MIG not TIG?

72

Any concerns about using a steel brush on the aluminum wheels and causing rust stains?

I don't really know which years interchange. I believe the fronts and backs are the same. @zKars I need the lower hinges. The ones with the springs. I believe the existing ones have the scissor bars but I believe the front right one is a newer style. I will try to get some pictures up.

Pppfffftttt! ?

I need to source some door hinges for Cody's car. Three of the four are damaged and missing the springs. Thanks, Charles

The straight Argon doesn't work well???

Jim, How do you plates the stoppers with the springs? Disassemble?

I agree. I think you did really well with that auction

What techniques are you using?

Where is this car????

I've done that with whole cars. It's always fun to see how long it takes for her to notice the additional car at the shop

I would leave it like that. Shouldn't be a problem. No need for extremes there

I suspect there are a lot of warranthy exceptions for damage or normal wear. Most of these warranties are for material defects

I would think! Don't tear it up twice! Call Wayne...

I agree with your not going turbo. There are lots of issues going turbo. I have 2 turbo motors here at the house and may go that way some day but you really have to go aftermarket EFI and intercooler to make it worth while. It's lots of work and programming. I think if I were going to approach this, I would go with the better of the 2 P90 engines. If you don't use the head, sell it. They bring pretty good money. Supposedly they are one of the better breathing heads though. I would go triple webers like Blue said with about 10:1 compression and a good ignition system. Maybe a 123 ignition system. Should run really well and not be overly finicky. I might bore as much as I could to get a little larger engine. Play with the engine calculator some... @240260280 Make sure the engine you buy will turn freely by hand. The boroscope is a good idea! So are biting and low blows but if I end up in a fight all options are open. ?

This was my reasoning for suggesting the finer mesh

Cody loves that!

the finer mesh looks like it is more appropriate for this application

Most people in my part of the world wouldn't know what a transport plug is. The engine just ends up in the back of a truck and what comes out, comes out!

What are you doing for the heater hoses down the passenger side of the block? I see some brass fittings in there.

One thing you can do is get it to start for a few seconds to get oil pressure. Cut it off then remove the valve cover, disable the ignition and turn the motor with the starter to verify the oil spray bar flow
