I don't have the experience to distinguish between a good and bad used steering box off of the car. My fear is that I buy a used one and it's no better then the one I have. I take a risk of installing a used one and still have a lot of play in the steering wheel and wasted my time changing the...

Looking to replace a 1963 Valiant manual steering box. The best deal I found is a new box from carsteering.com for $271. Are there other reasonable options available? THANKS!

This car is currently posted on Craigslist and ClassicCars.com for a fixed price of $5000. There are 24 pictures on Craigslist Austin Tx to get an idea of the vehicle's condition. If there is something specific you want pictures of let me know and I will take and post the pictures you want. I...

The differential leak is most likely the pinion gear seal. It's one thing to have a greasy looking differential, but it way worse to have an empty differential without lube.

I really appreciate all the input. Thanks everyone! I have been on the fence about getting the car. I believe I will pass on it now.

Hey Mike, you are not being overly negative. I tried to figure out how to PM you, but I am not real familiar with this site yet. I thought your comments were constructive in terms of pointing out things I was not aware of. I have a couple of pre 67 Valiants already. Been trying to sell the...

i am looking for a seat that would cover well with a car seat cover. i don't care about color, stains or tears in the upholstery. i am looking for a seat that still has all of the materials that supports the upholstery on the seat frame. The seat frames are not bent or broken. Hopefully, no too...

Thanks Cudamark, I contacted Legendary today. They only have interior for the Signet which is bucket seats. I have bench seats. Thanks for your input. What do other members do when they need upholstery? Use the local custom auto upholstery shop?

Looking for options to refurbish front seats, back seats, door panels and back side panels on a 63. Is there a company that provides these interior parts online? Been looking around on the internet without much luck. Have you had a good experience with an upholstery shop that I could send my...

I have a son with CP that drags his feet all the time. I use to use Shoe Goo, but it scrapes off far too easy. After trying several things, what I found work the best is using the Gorilla super glue gel and glue on MiMiLive rubber shoe repair pads from Amazon. I clean both surfaces and let...

To Bill, it's on ClassicCars.com. To everyone else that responded, thanks. I do have a much better feel for the value of my car now.

To Mpacker, yes, the one in Dripping Springs.

Hey Rustratrod I am looking for opinions. Tell me what you think?
