I believe you are right. Butyl is very sticky

I think I'm using the extreme. I don't think I have any of the Ultimate

I will need to add some heat then. I had some adhesion problems on the ceiling so I removed it before adding the headliner. Didn't have as many concerns about the floor sections

Looks great. Tons of metal work! That makes a lot more cars look restoreable...

Are you heating the material to help shape it or to help adhesion?

Nope!!! The goal is to make the car run good and burn cleanly with your carb setup. I think Mark has done a masterful job of helping you achieve that! The number of turns really isn't that important, and the carbs are not likely to have the exact same number of turns. Little variances in the float level, the float valves and the carbs themselves can cause the carbs to each be set a little different. These cars new had 0-60 times of between 8.6 to 10.2 seconds. There are plenty of modern cars, even cheap cars that are faster than this and the EFI also helps with the throttle response, because there is less delay and the fuel atomizes better under pressure. Even the 280ZX turbo only ran 0-60 in about 7.2 seconds. That is an average sort of time for a modern car. These are not modern cars and in my opinion there is no reason to try to make them modern cars. If you want it to respond like a modern car it takes a good bit of money and a good mechanic. From previous post I doubt you have an adequate mechanic available. As for tires you can take the current tire size and plug it into an online tire calculator and it will tell you what size tire you need for a 15" rim so the overall diameter is the same as the 14" rims you have now. That way you aren't changing the drive wheel gearing, so it doesn't reduce the performance

I used the one from MSA in black. It was generously big. I had to trim it a little bit in placed. I don't know that most people would ever know it wasn't the stock one. I trimmed it after it was sort of glued in and we were tucking it in.

Nope!!! Drive it and enjoy...

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
