I bought some seafoam green western auto paint near Vancouver BC in 1996. I decided to paint the interior of the 196w Scout also. Had to drive down to Blaine Washington and pick some up! Was a big deal going through the border I thought. They said glad you were able to even find the same color...

Looking to purchase the black paint for interior doors and trim. What's the best match and company? Paint code ? Some parts are scuffed and scratched, some not. Was hoping to not sand, prep and paint everything so it matched. Herbs and my old source don't carry the interior metal colors. Or so...

Hi Adam, I was looking through the site and found the paint codes you posted. Thanks! I'm trying to get/match the inside black paint ('67 barracuda FB) that covers the doors, around the windows and aft trims. Like the courtesy lights are attached to. I try using PPG if possible. Is the original...

Thanks for the replies. Was wondering if the Calvert springs were good for the road too. Or if I should get the Hotchkis springs. I know they handled awesome. Also, if going Calvert, 200lbs or 225lbs ? Not sure what the car is going to weigh.

Doesn't hook up. Didn't spend the time and money widening it to just spin off the rubber

67' FB. Have Cal Tracs, USCT spring relocate kit and mini-tub. 440ci(512) engine, auto. What springs are people running? Cal-trac splits @200 or 225lbs, hotchkis 3 piece, others? I have super stock springs on now. I know that they don't work with the cal-trac's. Probably 90% road and 10%...

Thanks Joeboy, really appreciate your information. Don't think I Sucked the pan dry. Heard about it. Could be why the converter was getting toasted though. I did install a cooler bigger than the AC condenser, huge. That pan looks thick so I'm sure it's tuff. That come with the Extreme Auto ...

Had my Monti SS with stock 200R4 up to 130 ish lots. Cruise 110 all day long. Smooth as glass. Will have to put my drive line protractor on it to see the stock angles. One of the most important things in building a car is drive line angle. Jbc426, you said in another thread that US car tool was...

Great info! Gotta love the forums. Like a giant car club, everyone learning from others... most certainly will need to step it up to a higher RPM shaft. Was thinking aluminum. Let me know how it works out. Thanks. The Monti SS didn't vibrate at 130 or so. Wonder why ? 52"isn't very long. What...

That's one deep tranny pan ! Here's a stock '87 Monti SS tranny!

Joboy, nice job! Did they recommend stitch welding the c-member to the floor, or welding up the whole thing? Also, what drive shaft loop is that? Nice clean install!

I agree, looking forward to installing one. EXTREMES Web site says that the valve bodies in the Grand national and Monti SS are the same/best. Got 2 of them in the garage. They modify others to copy them. Got to talk to them and find out more. Plus that after market converter. That's the only...

Mopar to ya, the local trans shop guy said 200R4's are junk. You and I know that they are just what the doctor ordered. Most people are clueless. If it's the converter, look into the one at Extreme. I went through a couple in Arizona. 80-120 mph 2-3 hours straight day after day, the stator n...

Thanks for the info. When I talked to Art year ago, he had just gotten his name back from the Chinese, or whomever. Told me that he could build a 200 or 700 to handle 1500hp. Got an after market TV cable n bracket. Will never use stock again! The torque converter lock-up is always the week...

My brother lives in Vegas. He was out at willowsprings in a White Crossfire. Parked in the pits. He tracks it. His '68 has C5 suspension. Not done yet. Going to make all the body stiffners. Going to buy the cross member. Want to get this done. Hopefully we can get both cars there next year. Hang...
