    Towing with a dolly?

    agreed; front tires only on the dolly. disagree; even uhaul dolly instructs say "....sttering must be locked. if no lock, strap securely..." ALWAYS lock the front whhels. it eliminates 1 more degree of freedom in pivoting. mike

    paying $$$$$ for paint is fine if you have it. Problem is, it keeps all the young ones out of the body shop. with the costs involved, most shops will only do insurance paid collision work. Resto work is TOO much for time and materials and people who pay out of pocket are often notoriously bad...

    How to price a used engine??

    How would you determine the price to pay for a used crate engine? Let say the engine was $4K new, fully up oil pan to carb through Summit. The engine was run for ~25K miles, seems in good shape. Its being pulled for a larger engine. What do you figure its worth?

    69 340/4spd Swinger - no interest

    That initial price was for EVERYTHING. Car and all the parts to restore it, including the rebuilt 69 340. I'd consider any reasonable offer, but have rec. none. That's why I said I'd even consider a trade of a 'driver' quality car. I sold my 68 Coronet RT to fund the first car we built (5...
