  1. The advantage to a windshield mount is when you are referencing that map you still have peripheral vision out the windshield versus looking down at the floor of the car...
  2. Maybe they wrapped it for the movie? Easily reversable
  3. I doubt it but KFvintage might make it for you
  4. Be mindful of how you weld on the chassis. The chassis is designed to move in certain places and over welding can inhibit that movement and cause problems in other places. I'm not interested in a full frame unless I'm gonna race the car and need it to get through tech
  5. I have found Summit delivers the next day if reasonably close. Super service!
  6. Can you elaborate on who some of the people photographed with him are?

    So i went to my local paint shop and had some single stage made up to match an alternator bracket that still had some factory blue on it. Cody got the block all taped up last weekend but ti was too cold. S o I sprayed it this weekend. It's much darker than it looks in the sunlight. Much more like the paint in the can looks. He is planning on working on the rotating assembly next weekend
  8. It would be great to cut the post on the front frame rail differences and pictures into a separate frame rail thread to make them easier to find in the future

    So spoke to Rebello We need to use the head gasket from a Z24. It will need some modification to provide all the water access ports. On another point, should we Glyptol or not? Is it worth it on a motor that is not an all out effort?
  10. Yes, they will cut you The older I get, the easier I bleed. Tis merely a flesh wound... 😉
  11. I have this same set and they are great. I love them
  12. I use the high heat setting on my heat gun. I have also found those paint curls can be razor sharp when cooled
  13. That's a nice "P" car!
  14. Not great, but I've seen worse get fixed

  16. It's very difficult to glass things onto the car and make them stay long term. Just too much vibration for the connection

    I have the book but have not checked it. I probably should. I thought I would call Rebello too for his thought, since I need a recommendation on a head gasket too. I'm not sure the standard L20b gasket has a big enough fire ring to cover our punched out cylinders

    So I have a question. I have heard that the rod bearings can lack sufficient oil because one main bearing feeds two rod bearings. There was a hack I came across to rebore the galley feeding the main larger. They suggested 1/4" but it looks pretty close to that. Thoughts??
  19. If there's rust around the windshield, it's gonna have to come out.
  20. Yes, I believe they are all the same
  21. Which area?? The flat area of the slam panel or the very end of the quarter panel? There are at least five different panels that meet in this area
  22. I would also look around for cracks on the chassis. At the strut towers or strut tower braces, spare tire well. Anywhere it could make a noise. I agree with Zed on the low threshold for the sound. Maybe get some one to drive you around in the hatch area to see if you could localize it
  23. You could see if you could get a title through a title company
  24. I would say at that price, it already is
