Some really nice rigs guys! I am doing a '69 right now and was wondering about the Rad support colors. I know the lower is body color but is the whole thing body color or is the top blacked out like this one: Is the engine side body color or black??? Thanks! Trying to get this...

Well, the way I look at it, you can always slide the tubes together to shorten the long roto, but you would have to add your own tubing to lengthen the short one. I have put everything from a Newport to a truck cab on mine.

I just helped a friend fix an oil-free Sanborn compressor that wasn't "pumping up" like it should. When the cover was removed you see an exposed rod going up to a "piston". All exposed, no oil. The piston sleeve had split. The sleeve is just about as thick as a tin can (if not closer to...

Had the same thing happen last year. Although I filled the crankcase with gas. I thought it was the carb so I rebuilt it. Changed the oil (mostly gas) and drove it a few days only to fill the damn crankcase again! Then a good fellow here suggested the pump was leaking into the engine...

I've had a Roto 2000 for the last 7 years. Love it. http://www.theroto2000.com/compare.htm

I am in need for a full dash for a '68 Dart. Mine has been hacked soooo bad over the years. I just want to start over (and I don't care about originality with a /6 car). I would like provisions for heat/ac controls, radio (could be a knob or DIN), and would love to keep my glove box.

I am helping a friend find parts to repair a '64 barracuda. The car was in an accident and hit on the lft rear corner. He is going to need the rear foot of the quarter panel and any trim, lights, etc. that comes along with it. Send a pm to me if you have a car you can cut it off of.

In all honesty I am glad I spent $1200.00 on mine. There is no way I could have engineered, bought all the materials, and with my time factored in built one as nice as the Roto 2000 I own. If I ever need a second one (which I do, but storage when both are not being used is a floor hog in my...

It's a hardtop.

Last night a deer ran into the side of my '68 Dart 270. Damn it!! So, I call the claim in this morning and start looking for a Lft. Door. Nothing. I know there must be a rust-free door out there somewhere, and I am in no hurry, but I need to write an estimate. What does a straight...

Something just dawned on me... Are you thinking that the pump is leaking directly into the crankcase???

Doesn't a fuel pump either pump X gallons a hour or nothing??? How would it ever "over-pump"??? I have heard of older engines (Flathead era) that would do this. Maybe I should read up on how a fuel pump pumps?

The carb kit arrived at the shop this morning and I replaced everything. The float checked out ok, as did all the diaphragms. The inlet needle was free. Actually too free compared to the new one. I wonder if the "slop" in it caused it to stay open or leak??? Thanks for the help guys...

Ya. Guess I should have stated, '68 225 :oops:

Before I tear into my carb, what causes a carb to dump excess fuel? Last week I noticed a "fuel smell" and parked the car after I made it home. Drained a couple gallons of gas with the 5 quarts of oil.... Not happy. It was literally shooting out the valve cover! (she may be clean now, but...
