Looks good. Has the early metal fan

Greyhound is great for oversized packages. Just have to find the nearest terminal

I've never seen that either. I would agree with Jim's assessment

I think you might need to do some reading. I did a search for the 10 best things to do in Japan and got a ton of articles. So lot's of options. I would prefer to find quieter places and things to see, myself. Not really into tons of people, which makes some of these Asian countries a challenging destination for me

I can't say for sure but I can't imagine there are not! Pretty much all countries have some place you should stay away from

John aka Baddog is great but to the best of my knowledge he doesn't make floor pans. He does make some nice plates for beefing up the front end though

The first link Zup posted is the best source Charlie is good to deal with...

Me too. I thought it wouldn't go much higher than the $5200 it was at when I first saw it. I thought $7000 would have been really good considering the missing engine and the extent of the damage. $9200 is a really strong number

The car sold for $9,200 That's a good number for that car. This gives some perspective on the 3 cars in the field which are likely not much rustier but a little higher VIN numbers

Jeff, Did you put some sealant at the main rear cap parting lines? those side seals can leak if you don't add a little sealant in a couple of places. I may have missed it in the video

What she really needs is the ends and the center rubber. I think she has a good bar

For what year 76?

Much easier to just source some. They are hard like spring steel. Not really worth the effort to fabricate

@Mark Maras Which bumper end did Jai need?

Wow!!! Good catch!

Did you contact Sean yet, for his input?

So it could be disassembled by pushing the stem all the way down and out through the bottom. Replicating seals could be a challenge though. Especially the stem seal

Jim, the post was great!!! But you know how they can be...

I actually did not realize we had drifted threads

So let me get this straight, based on the tech article link you posted, I can use a later 71C out of one of the other cars or a truck even. Swap the front case and for the most part that will work? No input shaft problems? Sounds like shifter holes and the reverse boss can be a problem maybe?

Nope! Your car was running too rich. Which means it was getting more fuel than the air it had needed. Adding more fuel isn't going to help that. It will just make it rich again. Engines are just air pumps. they can only ingest so much air based on their configuration and the individual components. That amount of air needs a precise amount of fuel to run right. Not too lean and not too rich. Adding more fuel with damper oil or float changes or mixture nuts isn't going to make the engine consume more air

Somebody else posted in another thread. Look at "jfa series 1" posts. He posted some good pictures recently

Your other option then would be to change the differential to a lower geared unit. You would need to identify what you have currently and then find a suitable replacement. The change out isn't too hard, but finding a good unit with the ratio you want might be

When you say cosmoline, do you mean like heavy gun grease or more like a dried urethane? I would try lacquer thinner to get it clean. Then bead blast it with fine beads. Then use sharkhide or one of the diamond clears for protection

I was looking going that's not a car from Vegas. Then I saw the paperwork, came out of Oregon. Lot's of rust! Needs a quarter, floors, dog legs, probably rockers and battery tray too, but a really early car. $5k already
