I tried to PM. Your inbox is full.

Wow!!! I have never seen that car. Beautiful. Thanks for posting that picture!!!

Picture of my housing ends with gage inserted. Mine are not perfect but work OK.

Here's what aggravated me. Picture of my back braced 8-3/4 housing being fab'd. What you see is a piece of driveshaft tubing I welded to the housing to shore up future indentations. You can see where the clamp force is concentrated. Doesn't mean the housing is junk though. If the housing ends...

This is exactly correct. A round shaped u-bolt on the clamped area will indent an 8-3/4 housing with factory torque even though that torque is low.

Dibbons, I did finally find the GZ-88148 clips I bought from Laysons. They appear to be correct (although lacking the pad). They fit nicely in the trim. The 2nd picture shows one in the trim next to one of my factory clips.

Is this what happened? I thought I read the part was marked "Broader Performance" or the equivalent trademark on it.

You can store a lot of parts on shelves of the type you referenced. I think I bought mine from Lowes or HD. They rescued me from a lot of clutter.

See post #286. Did you try the GZ-88148 clips that Rick posted? I remember buying those from Laysons but I'll be damned if I can find them to compare to my originals. I think I just bought them and stored them away somewhere without comparing.

That is just plain awesome. Great job!

See here: How to delete conversations from your inbox... I am interested too. I believe I pm'd @Chained_360 a year or so ago and never heard back. Any info is appreciated.

When we were moving. She puts up with me.

Mine from 20+ years ago.

Shippy, is this the same car you have for sale here on FABO? Your avatar picture? If so, I would leave it alone. [FOR SALE] - 64 barracuda 273 auto numbers matching asking 22,500 plenty of new parts

Leaking propellant bags? I never heard that, or of a hot breach in the Iowa's case. What source does that info come from?
