I bought front and rear bumpers for my 70 GTX several years ago. They fit and looked very nice. My body guy bought a set for his 69 Roadrunner and they were so bad, he sent them back.

A lot of the thermostats sold by various vendors are repackaged. Milodon was just a repackager and no longer available. The Mr.Gasket Robert Shaw knock off is made in China and is junk from what I've seen. Stant/Summit/Motorad, and I'm sure others, are all the same part made in Israel...

Spent my teenage years, 68-73, in Cincinnati, OH. The muscle car, street machine, drag race/street race scene years were the best there. Been here in the Portland, OR area for fifty years. Told my friends back in OH when we moved that I would be back. Didn't take long living in OR to realize I...

^^^^^ Someone in this thread who actually knows what they're talking about.

Looks like a pretty score from here on the westside.

Welcome from NW Oregon.

I have that same jack that I bought in the 80's. Made in Japan according to the label. Still works well and I've done zero maintenance on it.

Sometimes you get lucky on Facebook Marketplace. There was an F440 block advertised locally for $1000. I had an F440 block fully machined and ready to build but I was always on the lookout for a better date code match for my GTX. The ad had been listed for a week, or more, and zooming in on his...

Since I came across another block that was a better date code match, I had a machinist friend "clone" the second block to match the first one I had done. Hot tank and shotblast block Hot tank crank which I didn't use Bore and hone with torque plates Line hone block Parallel deck block Install...

Here's a couple more pictures of the frame. Your bottom rail, at the floor, is bent up in the center, on each side of the tunnel, where mine is flat. The top edge, which would be behind your knee, dips down in the center area where you would be sitting.

Well, I just happen to have the bare seat frames for my 70 GTX laying around. I would think the front lower rail is supposed to be fairly flat where it lays across the floor widthwise. The drivers' side on mine is bent upwards a little more than the passenger side. The two outboard rails than...

.4 to .5 degree of negative camber alone won't eat the front tires off the car.

Costco scans your card now to cut down on the fraud for when one person buys a card then lets all of their friends and family use it saving them from having to pay the membership fee. Costco gas in my area is the cheapest around. Like 50 cents per gallon less that some of the gangsters here...

Those GM modules don't fail due to heat like the Ford TFI modules, unless you're using the cheapest China module you can find. The way this unit is built has more venting than the original mounting in a HEI distributor.

I'm past the age of enjoying sitting in traffic and sweating to death. I have aftermarket A/C in four out of five of my hot rods. My V-code GTX is getting A/C. I don't care what the haters think.
