Welcome from Texas! Good luck on getting pewter (pot metal) plated. It is a labor intensive job and quite expensive these days. I did all of the cleaning of the corrosion holes on my stuff, repaired the holes with epoxy and had them powder coated in Alien Silver, it was a "ton" less expensive.

I'd be interest in a couple also.

One of the reasons that the paint chips away is that the valve covers are used. Being that aluminum has porosity, They have absorbed the oil mist under the hood. Powder coaters bake aluminum pieces to burn off this residual oil. I blasted some valve covers, soaked them with acetone and let them...

Check with your local DMV, they can give you all of the rules and regulations about the vintage tags. Again as stated, quality restoration is NOT cheap. I had a set of 1941 Texas tags restored per Texas DMV and it was in the vicinity of $200.00 per plate, that was about 20 years ago. They are...

The car he is building is a "Mazda", not a "Nissan/Datsun". Very interesting build though.

I'm glad the kiddo is okay, too bad about the car. Sometimes we all have to learn things the hard way. LOL

Get yourself an angle finder and see just how bad the angles are. As stated, the DS angle is horrendous.

Rock Auto is a broker, they have a deal with multiple suppliers and everyone gets a piece of the pie that you pay for.

That intake is for LA engines.

You will grow to detest the fenderwell headers, with reduced turning radius unless the torsion bars are turned up. Ask me how I know.

I have a guy with a 72 Dart 340 car that is looking for a pair of OEM horns. The only information I've been able to find is a PN of MH108. If anyone has a working pair of horns, PM me.

For an around town driver, I'd go with the 3.55 gear. It has decent street manners and stop light to stop light can be fun. For a dual purpose highway/street, or mostly highway, I'd go with the 3.23 gear. I've run many different ratios on the street and I pretty much always go with the 3.23 or...

Summit has a store in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I've driven by it many times but was on my way to another destination and was too busy to stop.

Contact B3 and talk to him about your rocker arm geometry, best in the business.

I also miss the interaction with John (PBR), we used to have some interesting conversations about his WalMart finds RIP bud!

@mohni, yes it is. On our stock eliminator Dakota, we installed CalTracs before it was mandated that we install a roll cage and got it all sorted out making the truck leave with about 4" of daylight under the wheels. We installed the roll cage and that stiffened the truck up, so we had to start...

In your last video, the car is still not leaving evenly in the front. Unfortunately CalTracs are a true learning experience, keep a written log of each change you make and don't make big changes. Also, your rear tires may be spinning on the wheels you might want to look into putting bead screws...

Ever since the last software upgrade, multiple users have had problems. Joey says it's our computers, phones or tablets. I for one will probably not renew my Gold membership next year. I know for a fact that it is Not my computer causing the random popups. It has all of the spam filters and...

Congrats, I keep meaning to try and get to Extreme but life keeps getting in the way.

Why not just swap the internals? I had a BBM 727 and swapped everything to a SBM 727 case.

WHAT TRUCK, I don't see no stinking truck! LMAO

I have the radiator you are looking for, it came out of a 72 duster 318 automatic car. PM me for further information. Thanks, Bill S.

I have the inside of my 408 coated with Glyptal. When I sent the block to the machine shop, my machinist suggested it. He baked the block to burn out the oil in the porousity of the block and I took it home to paint it before the machine was done. That was 15 years ago and it still looks good. I...

I've had one in my bracket car for about 15 years and I really like it.

Bite the bullet and buy a new set of springs. Why rely on 50+ year old springs that may already be clapped out?

Keep in mind that the bronze gear is a consumable item, I run one in my bracket car and have a "just in case" spare in my tool box. I wouldn't run one on a street car because the gear wears quickly. On my car (race only) the gear has lasted a good amount of time, but it is showing signs of...

"Suicide by Moderator" that's really f'ing intelligent on your part. Your attitude and choice of wording needs some serious help!

Save yourself the time, frustration and skinned up knuckles. @MoparLeo

Welcome from Texas, nice start to a neat ride. Maybe back off on the all caps, people think you are yelling with all caps. LOL

Agree, some of the "mods" are becoming overbearing when it comes to legit questions about "For Sale" items. The statement is, "take it to PM" some of the time. I've queried a few members about things via "PM" and then nothing but crickets. I also agree that some of the times the comments are...
