    Radiator support cover

    Can anyone give me a link/brand-name/lead on a nice chrome upper radiator support cover? There are hundreds out there but I'm leary of anything "universal" as they always lead to disaster. Any help is appreciated!

    Rear brake line

    Hey guys. Looking for tips or tricks on removing the rear brake hard line that runs along the frame while the body is still on. It looks near impossible to get those clip bolts out with the body on. Anyone have any tricks for doing this?

    Cruise Control

    I've done a few searches but still not found the answer I seek. I am dropping in a new motor in my 1980 and I am most likely not going to put the cruise control diaphram back on the carb linkage. I want to clean the engine bay up and minimize what goes back in for a cleaner look. I probably only...

    Headers/sidepipes

    Well now I'm going to probably have to redo most of the exhaust. I have 3" duals with Flowmasters. I cut the pipes off right about the trans crossmember. I hope to just tie back into it. Maybe put in an X pipe?

    Headers/sidepipes

    So an update to this situation. I have decided against sidepioes and will stay with standard exhaust routing. I just pulled the engine yesterday and a huge part of the job was the headers/exhaust. I actually had to cut them out because the PO WELDED. the collectors to the exhaust pipe. So, now I...

    Trans Swap

    Ok folks...I've done some research on this and I see LOTS of comparisons and opinions. But, I want to talk to people that have actually done the swap! Going from the TH350 in my '80 to either a 700R4 or a 200-4R. I know the differences, parts needed etc. But who can tell me about their personal...

    Headers/sidepipes

    My biggest fear is the fact that I'm a fairly big guy. I fit once in the car but the getting in and out makes me look like one of those circus clown cars I'm sure! Lol I need to find someone with side pipes to let me try the access/egress for my old man body.

    Headers/sidepipes

    Good point Ken. I probably won't a huge amount. maybe a couple trips a summer 4 or 5 hrs each way. after I've driven this a bit more and I am familiar with any issues I could possibly plan a trip home to BC next summer. but chances are I won't have the upgrades done before then anyway. Just...

    Claret Red values

    I'd be ok with that! Haha. I already want another!

    Claret Red values

    I did see that number in my search. My guess is that can't be THAT many left ..and not in this condition. No idea if the value will climb dramatically in time so I'm still uncertain on what changes I might make. Anything I do could always be out back and I'd save everything for sure.

    Claret Red values

    I'm kind of partial to her! Lol. other than headers and the Chrome air cleaner it is still 100% factory. Paint and body will need some TLC one day but she is a strong survivor as is. only 106,800kms. California car.
