The '69 Camaro piece looks better than the lawn edging air dam on my '64 Valiant.

I hear the cool kids call them G or RG. Maybe that was the voices in my head.

Maybe it should be called the "General Shelby" after Jo Shelby.

I like the idea of radiused rear wheel openings on '64 Valiants like mine. It would correct the only really awkward part of the styling, to my eye. The wagons had it. I'm guessing it was to reduce the jacking height needed, more of an issue on a loaded-up wagon. (Not mine, darn it.) (Not...

I saw photos of one, decades ago, that had been "frenched" in the quarter. Basically the guy built a floored cylinder just deep enough to let just the crown of the cap protrude slightly. It was notched for the hinge and the latch.

Depends on how long that straight line is ... ... and which engine is in the Superbird.

Any other symptoms? How does it stop running? Just idling, or is there some driving during those 15 minutes? Loss of power, more loss of power, then dies? Or just flat dies? Back to basics. One possibility is trash in the fuel, clogging the filter. After choking the engine out, it may...
