Thanks for the recommendations! They're both practically around the corner from me. I assume you meant Jay's not Ray's? I assume that's the place with all the blocks in the window. Kinda looks like a fun place! I've been looking for a decent exhaust shop for another reason too, less...

I'm going to start even more simple...I still need to transfer title! My in-laws mailed the signed title to me earlier this week so that'll get done tomorrow. I'll start on some tune up work (there is much to be done), but I'm going to focus on the brakes first. I think calling those brakes...

The bolt pattern is measured across lug nuts (skipping one) correct? Because measuring like that, it's 4.5". If you measure to the adjacent lug nut, it's 4 inch. The tape measure don't lie!

Finished up a bit early today so had some time to crawl under the car. I most certainly DO have drum brakes. But, there appears to be a ton of grease coming from around the ball joints especially on the driver's side. The grease is basically right at the drum and I can't help but imagine that...

... With 67k miles and had never left the family! And, I'm getting great stuff out if this!. It's hugely helpful for strategizing what I need to be looking for. Some of it is basic, like do I have discs or drums up front? Some will require grabbing service records from my FIL. He had been...

You're assuming I've had the car long enough to look at these things! I know I have 14" wheels with bicycle tires on them. I know they have hub caps on them. I actually have no idea what's underneath the hub caps. I was basing my assumption of front drums based on the terrible brake...

-- it'll be just fine at 75 which is where I tend to be in the those 70 mph zones. ----- Or are you referring to the joke of a suspension currently under the car? That's gonna get fixed too! -- I always run 5 to 6 MPH over the posted limit, also. -- On the other issue, I thought you...

Wife unfriendly equates to price tag, not power. She hasn't expressed any desire to drive it. That said, the appeal of sticking with the six had more to do with it seeming like the path of least resistance to finished car. Like I said, there's an ad on Craigslist right now for a 360 with a...

The debate, for me, is while I can pick up a 360 cheap, with a transmission, I'm looking for simple and more budget friendly and thus more wife friendly. I'll stay with a tune up and I'm guessing the gas is old which won't help anything! I'll look into dual exhaust, maybe headers, maybe duals...

So, after three years of talking about it, I finally went and picked up my wife's grandfather's 74 Dart Sport. It needs a fair bit of work to make it pretty, but it runs o.k. and has low mileage. I'm starting to make my list. The first questions coming up are driveability. I don't need a...

I've rebuilt my fair share of cars. Space to do it is more of premium then know how and tools. The engine work is my biggest area of unknown. I've built a couple Chevy small blocks and tried to massage a few hp out of a 1978 Datsun 200sx (ugliest car ever built) as a teenager. I have no idea...

I've been lurking planning on what sorts of things I'll be doing to the '74 Dart I'm marrying in to. All I know about the car is that it has a /6, a bench seat, 60k miles, and it's green. I've never actually seen the car. I'm thinking about going turbo and I've been looking at how folks add...
