Gotcha! So the collect clamped on the head then? I would think be unstable. Or did the backstop stay in the collet keeping it firm while being cut? Unless I'm not thinking about it correctly. As a disclaimer - I'm a total lathe newbie and am always interested in learning ways to use a lathe.

That's smart. How did you fixture those in the lathe?

Looking great! You guys are having way too much fun.

Thanks! My trunk looked like crap, so I covered it up. Good enough for a hotrod. Yours is coming along nicely! Your progress is keeping me motivated too. Keep it up! Here are some older shots:

That's basically what I did for my trunk. Turned out well I think and it makes for a cheap and functional trunk mat.

Did it look used? Any witness marks where it screws down or anything? Left over thermal paste or grease?

I like that idea too! I need to go out and look at the mechanism on my ratchet shifter and see if I can make it work with one of the unused microswitch spots. Lots of great ideas here!

Crazy how different they are in reality from advertised. Those are some meats!

What size tire is that again?

I'd buzz some tack welds before I used locktite to make up for that slop. Better yet, get a bushing that fits like it should.

Pipes have chambered mufflers that don't drone. It's their Street Pro line.

Looks like a 72 and back strut rod. 73+ are course thread I believe.

That'd be great. Thank you!

That makes sense. I'd love to see photos if you remember. I fought the issue on my trunk pan and had to do some shrinking to cure it. It was a quite aggravating.

Looks good! What are the anti pop can strips?

Nice! Do you happen to have a photos of how to did your radiator overflow?

Check out the early A-body builds by @Jim Kueneman . He's got meticulous photos of the door internals of the early Dart and Valiant he built. It saved me a ton of time when I reassembled my '66 Dart.

Doesn't using this portion of the tool (circled below) to level it render any wheel rotation irrelevant? I have one like this, well I used to at least (a buddy's had it for a while now). When taking left and right measurements, you level the gauge for both first. Any wheel rotation is negated by...

It wasn't a comment. Just a simple question as to what you thought the cost would be going into it. With the amount of work to be done, that'd been one of my first questions. Either way, it turned out great that's for sure. Congrats!

Try this (remember to hit mute). Obviously a video game though.

Completely computer generated, but funny none-the-less.

How rigid are they? Seem like they'd be flapping like crazy when going down the road. I wonder if there's a way to stiffen them up and help them maintain their shape.

What was he expecting to pay for all of that work. Was he thinking it was being done out of the goodness of Sean's heart like some sort of charity case or homie hookup?

I've always used B&M Pro Ratchets. They're small and work well.

Yep. I was very polite and just had a couple questions on his products. Needless to say, he missed out on that sale. Maybe he was just having a bad day, but his customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

He's not the friendliest guy, that's for sure. I got my earful. Never again.

That's badass. Took me a second to realize that it's right hand drive. Nice work!

Seems like the trim pieces could be straightened out. Could you send them back to him an have them repaired? I'd maybe call him and try to reason with him. How were they shipped to him to begin with? Did you take any photos?

That bumper looks sweet! Where'd you end up finding?

It's good see him on the mend but really shitty he's in the position he's in because of illness. Did he not have health insurance through working for MT or BJ? I guess it's irrelevant at this point, but it sure sucks seeing him liquidating everything just to pay medical bills.
