    426 Hemi into a 67 68 or 9 Notchback Cuda

    Only as difficult as you want to make it. I went the motor plate route. Hooker headers and a hammer. Also using offset master cylinder. I’m back on the project after building my garage and a few setbacks.

    Car You Took Your Driver's License Test With

    Don’t laugh too hard. Did the training in a giant fake wood grained station wagon the high school owned. Big, bulky and slowwwww. Took the test in my moms Robin Egg Blue AMC Pacer. All them windows made parallel parking a breeze and easily passed the test. Oh yeh, we had a AMC Gremlin too.

    Paint thickness gauge

    Find a “Tooke” gauge. You need an area that you can “hide” to use the gauge. Also you could always weigh/strip/weigh a sample to determine the weight and thus thickness of the coating. Again would need a sample of the material and an accurate scale and some calculations.

    People not following through on for sale item.

    To all sellers, please keep the faith! I have been the victim of reverse sales discrimination where a seller is often offended if i ask questions, ask if the item is still for sale, etc. A few weeks ago I was interested in an expensive item on Clist, and I made an inquiry about it. The seller...

    Bye Bye Gomer - It's been fun

    I was never a big fan of the Andy Griffith show myself. However, as a huge fan of the Indy 500 as a kid (and as a bigger kid now), I do remember him singing the "Back Home Again" song. I happened to be traveling thru Indianapolis this year the week before the race. The song was blaring...

    Things your Dad used to say.

    Luckily my pops is still with me. I don't remember all the $h!t he used to say, but there are a couple he always says: 1) When we are building something, and it isn't quite perfect "We ain't takin' it to the fair kid" 2) "crank it up kid" when he wants the tv or radio louder, or the heat...

    67 Hemi Notch build

    A few pics of the car before and after blasting. Yes - there was sand everywhere, and if I had to do it again, I would have bought some of the hold tite product and kept washing the car down and removed much more sand at the time. I had done some painting when I was a kid. I actually worked for...

    67 Hemi Notch build

    Hi gang, My name is Terry. I am hesitant to create this thread, because I'm not good at taking pics of the car and progress, but I will try my best. Progress will be slow. I can only work on car on the weekends, and I have to drive 2 hours to garage. And I'm building a new garage right now as...

    Structural Foam for chassis stiffening

    The original question was "have you ever thought about it." The answer seems to be yes, many people have thought about it. In reality you have done more than thought about it and this thread seems to have convinced you to proceed. More power (mo' par ?) to you for being creative in your...

    Structural Foam for chassis stiffening

    There is no doubt that structural foam works in the correct environment. That environment includes applications, chemicals, equipment and possibly curing ovens for curing that many of us don't have access too. The papers don't mention specifically what chemicals or what blowing agents are being...

    Structural Foam for chassis stiffening

    As a sound deadener or as an insulator, it seems like a viable option. Regarding the structural characteristics, look at your refrigerator or freezer door. If it's less than 8 years old, likely it's made from .028" or thinner metal and then filled with foam. The fridge cabinet is likely .017"...

    What's more Badda$$...........

    I am currently building a notch 68 with a hemi. My dad used to race it in the 70's. It will end up being more of a MP type clone rather than a SS clone, mainly due to the 70's Pro Stock style components. With that being said, I love both cars. The next car will be a SS Dart clone. I chose them...
