This was a very helpful thread, I'm researching rear springs now for my 71 Duster. The ones in it are new, but it sits a mile high and I want to lower it an inch under stock height.

Damn! That paint looks fantastic.

I recently bought a rebuilt 440 and changed to a full roller setup at the advice of my builder. I have the new hydraulic flat tappet cam, lifters, and timing set that were never run and are brand new. I do not know what the cam is, only that it is a mild, not lumpy. There are numbers on it, but...

I save everything as well and have been slowly organizing so when I need something I can find it. Still a work in progress. Also, when I go to buy hardware or products to clean, detail, etc., I always buy multiples or at least one backup. This way I don't have to run out when I use up a can of...

Thanks for the info Michael, I agree and so does the engine builder. I'm going to run that Torker manifold and was surprised how light it is. Appreciate the response. Right now I'm waiting for the Comp Cams roller rockers to become available this month. Almost have all the puzzle pieces ready to...

You're right, shiny paint does cause stress

Sometimes when I'm unsure or don't have a code. When color matching paint I take the gas door off and bring it to the paint supply. They have a scanner that usually gets the color very close, sometimes on the money. It depends on the color, how perfect it needs to match, if blending or panel...

I did autobody professionally many years ago. The metal on these old cars is 18ga, which is much thicker than today's cars. The dent needs to be attacked from a number of different angles. First from the inside a dolly needs to be used to put pressure on the dent while at the same time using a...
