I’m seriously considering this rotisserie. I’m tired of working on the floor and I’ve got two more cars behind my current project. Anyone tried this one? Seems like really good bang for buck. Redline Automotive Auto Restoration Rotisserie | Redline Stands

What do you guys think? Prices seem similar. I’m putting this on a 65 Valiant. The Dr Diff kit can add the upper ball joint adapter sleeves. The Mancini kit looks like those aren’t needed. I have no direct experience with either company but both seem to get good mentions here.

Hey FABO. I’m planning a 40x48 pole barn shop. The total amount was a little crazy so I’m looking for ways to save. The concrete alone was quoted at about 12k (includes forming, material, and labor). My math says it takes 21yd of concrete for a 4” slab. At $160/yd that’s about $3400 for the...

I think it’s a 340 intake. A local guy is selling it on FB. I asked for a part number but thought I’d throw out a quiz for you guys. Photos are from the seller.

Any reason not to put an original 1970 340 intake on a mid 70s 318? I found one local for not a bad price. Just want to make sure it will work well. My plan is for a mild street 318 (~300hp). I’ve got some 302 heads for it already.

My dash frame is pretty rusted. Anybody got a good one with minimal rust? I don’t need any of the trim, faceplates, etc. Just the basic frame.

Not sure if this is the correct forum to put this one but here goes. I’ve got a 2010 Ram that I bought new. The steering wheel is deteriorating and is pretty annoying now. When it’s wet or damp it’s leaves black stuff all over my hands. Has anyone replaced the leather wrap with good results...

A couple cars from the stable. 92yrs of automotive innovation. 1929 vs 2021. Thought it was a fun pic.

Just curious, what is the advantage of a reverse valve body? The manual valve body part I can understand. But why do some choose a reverse pattern?

I’ve got a 65 Valiant but I really like the 64 grill better. It’s a cleaner look to me. I’ve thought about fabbing something custom but thought I’d see if anyone has a real nice 64 grill first. Anybody got one laying around?

I’m almost done replacing the entire floor in my 65 Valiant Vert. It had some Toyota seats in when I got it, which I sold. I have some original 65 low back bucket seats that will be going in. I’m wondering how to locate and drill the holes for the mounting studs. Can anyone give me a...

My old compressor was having issues. When it gets to about 80psi, the pump won’t turn over. I figured the reed valves were bad. So I took the pump head apart and found this. Pretty corroded in there. Rotating assembly was nice and smooth still. Can anyone identify this brand? I can’t...

The yellow circled hole. It’s threaded. Pretty sure it’s for the front seat belts. It’s farther forward than the inside ones though.

Disassembling more of my 65 Valiant vert and noticed the big spring on the driver side is missing. It’s a manual top. Are these reproduced or sold anywhere? Thanks!

I was considering deleting the front bumper of my 65 Valiant. Curious if any folks here have done it. Did you mod the front valance panel too? I’ve seen some high dollar looking builds on the internet but would love to see some here. Who’s tried it??

Just thought I’d give a shout to @moparmat2000 and the custom made shock plates he offers. I wanted some shock plates for my Ford 8.8 rear. I saw a lot of folks using 8.75” plates, but those require you to bend the U bolts to fit and I just didn’t want to do that. These plates are designed...

I’ve got a complete set of shock plates and U bolts from a 7.25. $25 plus shipping from Savannah. They should fit in a flat rate box.

Dropped the rear end out of my 65 Valiant vert. Noticed this wire hanging down on the passenger side. It wasn’t hooked to anything. It has a slide on connector. Anybody what this was supposed to go to?

I have five 14" x 4.5” small bolt pattern steel wheels. $200. They all look like the one pictured, though I can add pics of all five soon. The tires are all dry rot and I wouldn't run them. I might be able to have the tires taken off of them.

Free! Just come get it. 7.25” drum to drum. I don’t know what gears as there is no tag. Peg leg. Came out of a 65 Valiant. Going to scrap it soon if no one wants it.

Just yanked the old 7.25” and springs from my 65 Valiant. Are these rear hangers original? They don’t look like it to me, nor the bolts which are seized and will need to be ground off. By the way, I’ll be posting a free 7.25 drum to drum if anyone wants it.

Anybody have one of these ram center caps? This is my 2010 Ram with 20” factory wheels. I lost one during a flat tire change.

When I grabbed a Ford 8.8 from the junkyard I took the shock plates too. They came from an Explorer. Any reason I couldn’t use these in my 65 Valiant?

A plasma cutter for under $200? Anybody try one of these? Awfully tempting after spending hours with a cutting wheel today. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072P6BXQ4/?tag=fabo03-20

Alright FABO, I've been working on my 65 Valiant convertible for a little while and have been making some decent progress. So I thought I should start a resto thread. This is my second A body, I had a 65 Cuda for a while in college but sold it years ago. I also still have a 66 Belvedere which...

Came off my 65 Valiant with a 904. A500 going back in so don’t need these. Just pay shipping and they’re yours.

Ok, silly question I know. Pictured are early A motor mounts for a 318. Which one is the driver side? Gotta stuff this motor in with the 42RH to mock up a trans mount. Thanks!

I picked up a 318 to put in my 65 Valiant (originally a 225). The 318 came out of a 67 Belvedere if I remember right and came with the exhaust manifolds in the pics. Will these work in my Valiant? I have manual brakes and manual steering. Thanks for any input!

I picked up a 42RH recently for my 65 Valiant. I’ve read a lot of swap posts and it’s pretty obvious the hoop in the torsion bar crossmember has to be trimmed. All these posts seem to be in 67+ cars. Wondering who has put this transmission in an early A and how much trimming was required...

Swapping rear ends so this 7 1/4 needs a new home. Not sure about the gear ratio but it is single wheel drive. Came from a 65 Valiant. It worked fine before the restoration started. Asking $35 and you come pick it up. If no takers, I’ll just bring it to the junkyard and get my $35 core...
