Changing it in the car is no big deal if needed. Just jack the front end up as high as you can get it so the gear lube runs away from the pinion seal. I always mark the nut and the pinion at the same spot, and then line those marks back up when I put it back together. Never had one leak or whine...

That will look great. If you want to show out a little, tape off the backside of the tailgate letters and do them in white! :poke: :eek:

Looking good! I remember seeing that car on Craigslist several years ago. If you haven't already done so, put a new pinion seal in it before you fill the rearend with gear lube. The last one I swapped in while doing basically the same thing you are went to dripping after it had been retired for...

Are you going with full white panel with white letters, or orange letters in the white? I can't decide which would be a bigger pain in the *** to tape.....the insides of the letters, or the outsides!?!? I think I'll go with inside...lol. Fine line tape and then tape the rest to that.

Old Timers breakfast @ Cracker Barrel....lol. My favorite! Be safe and enjoy this day. Tell the self proclaimed Grumpy Old Man I said hi!

Also....pretty sure that combo comes in Ram 1500 trucks in a RWD version.

Couldn't agree more. The old guys at work always harped on me about protecting my back and knees, and I'm glad I listened because I don't have trouble with either. It's good to see Josh wearing ear protection while making racket. I wish the old guys had made me do that. I may not have Tinnitus...

Wow.....what a transformation! Looks really nice. Is that the Moulin Rouge from newer Challengers? It looks good on that car. If you're doing front disc brakes, double check your proportioning valve. It looks like one from a drum brake car. Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing...

You got reeled in by the cheap price, delivery halfway across the country and the resort/fine dining in Carrie Underwoods hometown! :rofl:

First time I rode in it, you couldn't have driven a finishing nail up my butt with a 10lb. sledge hammer! :eek: :rofl:

I doubt a 408 will hurt it. Might undercoat the rear bed bottoms with burnt rubber is all....lol. My buddy built a black A100 pickup with a 470 low deck stroker that was moved back 8 inches. Yeah, he extended the doghouse into the bed a little! Had a regular 727 in it, and the driveshaft was not...

Looking great. If you decide to paint your radiator, I was told by an old school radiator guy that re-cored 2 for me a while back, that I need to use lacquer paint on the fins. He said it goes on much thinner and doesn't clog the openings and make the radiator not cool as well. The way I look at...

Nice looking Barracuda! I've got a 65 that I'm getting ready to yank apart to do the body work & paint when it warms up. The new 273 is done, and I need to get the 47 coats of paint off of it to see metal and start over! Looking for ward to watching yours come along, so keep at it...

I think the only threads that time out are For Sale ads and such. Normal posts stay forever. I've seen threads from the year 1626 brought back up to tell Leroy the Lion Hearted in East Elbonia that he put the wrong yoke on his A body Oxcart! Your thread here has been very interesting and...

Lookin good! Exterior paint kind of resembles 1970 FK5 and the interior color choice looks great! I'm looking for ward to seeing how the Sebring seats look in the car. I want better seats for my 65 Barracuda, but haven't gotten to the point of seriously looking yet.

Looks great. I can't imagine the time you spent cleaning the bottom of the car. What did you use to clean it, a needle scaler? Your epoxy looks real close to the color of the factory dip primer too. :thumbsup:

You're doing a great job! If it were me, I wouldn't even bother changing the front bucket seat covers. Yeah, you had to improvise....but the result looks as good or even better than if it were the correct covers. Keep up the good work! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Looks great, as always! AMD is now making 3" wider inner wheel house for B & E body cars, so maybe if we get lucky, A bodies won't be far behind.

Dang....those look great! You did a good job. :thumbsup:

Yeah, you'd have to tape it up to file the tips with a fine file. I don't think sandpaper would do it. Go to Ace Hardware and get a fairly smooth 3 corner file. If you only have a few to smooth up, it won't take a lot of taping and stuff. If you have a shop vac, just cut it on and keep the hose...

I checked the rockers I have and they aren't much, if any better than the ones you have. :(

I'll look at the rockers I mentioned, and if they look decent other than being dirty....I'll give em to you if you want to try them and see if the tick goes away. That will be a cheap way to see if the rockers are the problem. As well as you do keeping stuff clean and dirt/debris contained when...

Orange you glad you got it painted?!?! :lol:

If the previous owner of the engine had them assembled with all the rights on the passenger side and all the lefts on the drivers side, :eek: , they did it wrong. The L & R refers to which way the rocker points on the shaft, depending on which way it needs to point in order to land on the valve...

Looks nice Jim! I'm sure that was a loooooong day, for sure. I'd say the areas in the middle, right behind the rotisserie posts were not easy to do without running or letting it get to dry. You sure did a nice job, plus the color scheme is awesome. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That will look nice. I have a friend here who had one that was Turquoise with a white band. Looked really good.

It was white at the start of this thread. Are you going back with that, or a different color?

I only recently found the forum on the SPI site, and was reading all the raves about the Black Diamond sanding blocks. Does the big long block help a lot on the stage you're at now? I would like to have a few of them, I think. :)

I like the way you did the A pillars and upper cowl. :thumbsup:

Dang....where'd you get that huge *** quarter? :rofl:
