Try steaming to clean, if you haven’t, and use a closet moisture absorber (the ones with beads) to suck all the smell out. There might be an ongoing mildew issue. It sounds like you cleaned a lot but maybe you missed something? Headliner? Package tray? Visors? Headrests? Arm rests? Short of...

Hi! I have a big red 2 ton cherry picker/engine hoist available. I took it apart and the threads are in like-new condition. It's always been garaged for the +6 years I've had it. You can fit this all in a sedan or take it away on a truck - up to you. It's a little scuffed and scraped, but it...

Found a shop that sells reasonably priced motor mounts for a big block. 28 for a pair. It is part #2266 its one of the first images that pops up on a Google search. The swap is a 440 into a 70 dart It doesn't have a bracket like the one on schumy's engine swap page. Am I good to go...

master cylinder - manual exhaust - will take it to a shop starter - definitely a mini question about brakes. what would you recommend for front discs, bearing in mind that i want to keep it a sleeper with stock rims and tires (for now). there's no luck finding '73 and later disc assemblies...

I KNEW I forgot something. Darn it.

So, I am at a major point in my project where the next few decisions will impact how soon I finish and how much this will cost me Up to this point, I have a running '78 440, 727, drive shaft, and 8.75 rear. I have a 4 door 70s dart with it's 225 slant, 904 tranny rebuilt in 92, drive shaft...

Here ya go.. http://imgur.com/a/78bS4#0 Also, I don't know why there is gray nail polish.. But you can see how shiny :D I'll take pictures tomorrow of my buddy's 1946 pow wag (rust bucket) and what rust i can take out

got a d60 (200 from a junkyard). had it built to 35 spline, track lock, 4.11s, chop, and a few misc things. came out around 2.7k with taxes and misc things (lunch, gas, tools)

Yup. Fun part is that my buddy spent 4 times (in price and effort) as much as I did. Showed him and he was peeved about his method. Can take better photos, but here's an example of light surface rust that polished up very well. http://imgur.com/a/l7e2V

Turtle wax chrome polisher has rust remover. Works well. Only 5bucks.

Just thought I'd share this http://imgur.com/a/l7e2V Used Turtle Wax Chrome Polish which has a rust removing property. Works well on chrome, but if it's pitted it's pitted. Doesn't work well on fake chrome or painted on chrome by the way.. It also works well on shiny metal as you can...

I know theres a lot of factors in pricing anything which comes down to application, and quality. For a rough idea of what im looking to spend on a 727, bay area price wise, what could a core or rebuilt 727 cost me? Found one for 750 and a new one would cost around 1600 if ordered. Suggestions...

How much did the leafs cost you for the rear? Jegs is going to cost about 4/500 for a set, front and back, not including misc costs and shipping.

Do I need to fab a shock plate that will fit on a 1970 dart, if I keep the original leafs? The 7" plate is a lot less thicker and beefier than I imagined, so cutting new holes wont work. The u bolts from the dana are twice as thick. Any suggestions? There are local junkyards, I was thinking...

Did anyone put an order in? Basically California reaches a $7500 goal with $50 presale orders, theyll restamp blue and black plates. I think they will be reflective, and ive heard that there might not be raised california letters. Nevertheless cool
