And here I sat thinking...."Dangit! Mark's been here 6 months longer than me!" :rofl:

Tom, which rods provide the best rod ratio with this crank when making a 470 with a 400 block? B length or RB length?

I just remembered, there is a place in Fountain Inn, SC called Carolina Chem Strip that dips cars. I've never had one done, but you could check with them to see if it's affordable. It would be 3 1/2 to 4 hours from you if you came around thru Asheville. It is somewhere near Greenville, SC...

I'll be glad to lend a hand. I have a small tractor that I have pallet forks I can swap onto it if we can get it bolted to a pallet.

10-4....give me a heads up when you're coming back up and we will meet y'all somewhere. The place we ate at last time had a small kitchen fire and were closed for about 3 weeks! :eek:

Al, I'll be glad to get that glass for Kevin. I'll get it when I get Todd's glass. :thumbsup:

I don't know if they're in the Ocala club. They have lived there forever. I'd say they are mid 80's by now. I met them thru John & Vicki McBryde who founded the Mopars at The Rock show. Marvin is a Mopar legend with all of the older FL people. Ask around about him sometime, and see if anyone...

@Demonx2 You're near Ocala, do you know Marvin Hughes? Marvin and his wife Jean are really nice people, but I have not seen them in years. I hope they're still kickin and doing well.

Along with a pool, I'd about have to get a boat to cruise that big *** lake nearby! :thumbsup:

I've been to Inverness a time or 3....lol. Does the new place have a shop, or are you going to build a big'n?

Find you something to try it on before wiping it on your car. Shine you off a place with that fancy schmancy new DA, wipe it down a few times and shoot a coat of primer on the spot and see what happens. It may just work!

@Jim Kueneman uses more SPI product than anyone here, so he might be the go to guy. I have both versions of their W&G remover. I use the waterborne first and the solvent based second, per SPI recommendations. I haven't had a fish eye yet.....knock on wood! If you decide to try using alcohol, I'd...

Thanks a bunch Kevin. I'm gonna have to go get me one of those and try it out. :thumbsup:

Who's on first? :lol:

That sounds good...can you adjust the speed with just the trigger, or a little separate wheel to roll?

You would probably be better off with a manual valve body. No worries and less weight. Well....you could pour sand in the left rocker panel if you have to keep the weight, lol.

I may be wrong, but I think you need to change the whole front clip. If you wanted to add a Sharks Tooth grill, you might get by with using your fenders and getting an earlier hood, bumper & brackets and probably the hood latch support and lower metal piece between the grill and bumper...

If the soda blasting or Dustless blasting doesn't remove old filler, you can heat the filler with a propane torch and pop it right out with a putty knife. You aren't going to hurt anything if there's an old dent under that filler....lol. If those trunk gutter pieces aren't available from AMD...

Well.....it did give me a "Wait? What?" moment and made me get off my butt and go out and see if mine will work! And it does.....one hernia later! I forgot how heavy a /6 head is! :BangHead:

Is it a variable speed so you can run the speed up and down when you need to? I've had to do the "Sand and wait" thing with my air DA's for years. I've finally got a new compressor that's a 2 stage, 5 horse, 60 gallon tank so it will keep up while painting. I'd just as soon use an electric DA...

Good show for those of us within driving distance! @badlilred79 may have 10 swap meet spots there with all he has for sale! @Mojack always has good stuff for sale too. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Uh oh! Guess I'd better go check and see if the one I have fits the head on my science project! Thanks Rob.

Will the valve cover he was selling not physically bolt onto the slant six head in your car? I don't know a lot about them, but I would think an NOS chrome Direct Connection valve cover would bolt onto any slant 6 of the 70-ish era.

My 95 Craftsman riding mower is the same color as that Dart, and it yard drives too! It isn't rusty and it mows.......even though my yard is steep and I ride it like a dirt bike because I HATE weedeating. My poor ol 74 Swinger that I junked out cause it was rusty looked better than that Dart...

In the past, I have used 3M Fast n Firm autobody seam sealer. Stuff dried harder than Chinese arithmetic! It worked ok, but the few cars I've used it on are long gone...so I have no idea how the longevity of it is. When I get to that point with my Barracuda I will look for a newer product if...

Previous owner put an FMJ 8.25 in my 65 Barracuda. Tag says 3.55, but I'll believe that when I pull it out to swap the 8 3/4 in. The amount of cobbelry that they did to this poor car is just :BangHead: . They didn't move the perches, hacked in the shock mounts from the FMJ car. When I pull it...

Will....if I counted right, there might be 2 left. If so, I will take them. Just let me know here and I will text you tomorrow. :thumbsup:

He's a couple hours away from me, out in the sticks in Iva, SC. My machinist is 81, and if he retires I will be seriously considering Mr. Powell. His accent doesn't bother me.....it ain't a lot different than mine! :rofl:

There's 2 ways to tell if it is a lockup. You can look up the P number stamped on the side of the pan rail, drivers side of the pan rail, right below the shift mechanism. You can also pull the converter out of it and see if the input shaft has a tip that is much smaller than the rest of the...

Greer Dragway in Greer, SC in 1975. Went with my best friend who had a 70 Duster 340. Greer was still running 1/4 mile then, but had to back it down to 1/8 mile a few years later because of lack of room for shut down after a quarter mile pass. I ran pretty regular between 89 and 91. Ran my 74...
