So I am now starting to get back into the motor phase of the project and would like some discussion of the options for a NA 700 Hp small block build. With the advent of a 4.25" crank and say 6" rods and a 4.22" bore I think it is doable. now is the time to educate me.

Anybody tried Tony's A pillar trim? Fit & finish?

I'm getting ready to put a shop together. Plenty of space for a real paint booth, But which type? and why? Choices are: Semi Downdraft, Cross flow, Reverse flow I will be using low VOC 2K paints and primers. Thanks for your help. Andrew

I drove down to San Antonio today to visit Vintage Air. I decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on a GenII super but I wanted to put my eyes on a unit and some of the other parts that I think will make this work. One of which is the transition between the horizontal "shop-vac" vent and...

I have been trying to incorporate new technology where ever possible in the build. To that end I ordered LED 1157s and 1156s. When they arrived I did a side by side comparison and the incandescent ones won out hands down. first pic is of the LED lamps the second is the side by side with the...

There are a few folks that have asked me to post some of the band's vids. The concept of a band here is not quite what exists. While a core group of players that may eventually become a band, is starting to emerge, this is about actually making music with all of the friends I have made here in...

http://www.wimp.com/tiniestengine/ And you guys thought I had too much time on my hands. I sat enthralled for the entire nine minutes. I love things done to this level of craftsmanship. Andrew

OK guys I’ve pretty much sorted out my front suspension issues, so it’s time to spec and order the motor. What I have planned to this point was a 416 stroker with the following: INDUCTION -1000cfm/4x80lb MSD Atomic TBI -W2 dual-plane intake manifold with milled center...

I long ago decided to run an electric water pump, but the other day I took out the MP book on the small block and read that the standard water pump at cruising speed pumps 70GPM. The high flow electrics brag about moving 35GPM, what am I missing here? At Idle the elecrtic has a slightly better...

you fill in the caption here, the din of captions in my mind is huge. Andrew OH.. should this go in the technical section under suspension and steering?

How many degrees of play left or right off of straight ahead does our front suspension travel. OR how many degrees of rotation at the ball joints. I need this to calculate rack and pinion ratios. This is not how many times the steering wheel turns. Andrew

Should I get single or double adjustable coil over shocks. Come on you road race guys help me here with pros and cons. Thanks Andrew

I have ordered a tubular front end from Denny which uses Mustang II spindles. The question here is whether I need 12" discs or will 11" do. The 11" solution is easy and relatively inexpensive, the 12" route is more complicated. I can only find 12" "Drag" brakes from wilwood, but they are .81"...

Thanks to all of you who helped sort this out, between a couple of pics and texts it is clear now. I will say this ONLY applies to 1973 5 hole windows. It seems that was a bastard year, and no other glass is the same. First pic is of the two vertical rollers and the attachment points for the...

I need a pic of the bottom almost horizontal track on a 73 duster's window glass. I know what goes there just not which end faces the front and which is the top of the track. Thanks in advance for the help and I WILL document the electric window system install! Andrew

I finally found connectors to my liking from a company called Galco. They are all metal shells and are available in all of the standard mil-spec pin configurations and sizes. I have one set up for the heavy gauge (12) feeds to the engine compartment and the other for the light gauge feeds for...

Here are some pics from yesterdays show,and Scott's dart is at the top. Andrew

I found a site that will let you but individual hole plugs and not have to pay the $45 for a kit off of Ebay. These and most plugs are made by 'Capplugs' and most actually cost between .06and .09 each but you have to buy a thousand. This guy repackages and sells them a few at a time. I just...

Here is the 4 point set up I put together out of two 3 point belts for each seat. Andrew

I just bent the main hoop and it looks a little narrow. It could just be my perception. The bottom of the two main verticals are as far as they can go without making a shelf at the wire tray level do these measurements look right? Andrew

I thought I would update yall, before I start on the cage, it occurred to me that fabbing the head liner would be easier without the cage in the way. The white material is called High Impact Poly Styrene, and is the same plastic Styrofoam is made out of. It is heat formable and epoxy sticks to...

Window Fuzzies: I got tired for looking for reasonably priced replacements for mine so I found some weather stripping and cleaned my old ones up and restored them myself. Andrew

Has anybody here eliminated the taillight bezels on a 73 and up Duster? If so what did you do about the gasket that shows past the rear panel metal? Could you please post pics. Andrew

OK, heres the rough in of the console. You have the shifter, then the PIN pad and the avionics switch module. As much as it is a cruiser, a spot for two cup holders. Then on the angled face you have a two way radio, above that a 2DIN spot for the AM/FM CD player, and to the left of that the...

Here is the next step for the digital equipment. A PIN pad that accepts an eight digit PIN. This is also the start of the center console. http://www.youtube.com/user/TheBluemissile?feature=mhum Andrew

Here is the start of the dash for the Missile. I am still waiting for the return of three of the gauges I sent back for re-labeling, and the air/fuel gauge which is being worked on. This is try number two for re-labeling. I still have to make the turn signals and the two indicators for the laser...

Oh no.......thats just a tranny Andrew

Here are the pics of the modified cross member. I got most of the design from Tincup. The 'H' member under the tranny, replaces the piece that bridges over the tranny for stiffness. Its made out of two pieces of 3"x3/8" barstock, one of which is the mounting surface for the 545RFE. Andrew

I want to rebuild the cross member for the 545RFE and set it up for the exhaust. can I get rid of the torsion bars and put it back down on the ground later. I know I cant drive it this way but will it hurt anything in the mean time to get rid of them? Andrew

Here is the next bit of WTF. I know some of you will hate this, but its something I've been seeing everytime I looked at the car. I always wanted a rear spoiler, but I did not like the look of the Go wing or the ducktail spoilers, and the trailing edge of the trunk lid always looked like it...
