The correct bedding compound will seal it up tight. I did my Jeep Gladiator pick-up a few years ago. Someone had previously used clear silicone. Cleaned it all off, then sealed and reinstalled it. Hasn't leaked a drop in 3 years. Bedding compound is gooey black and never dries. Stays that way...
Windshileds arent that bad. Remove the trim. Unlock the rubber and remove the old glass. Now comes the fun part. Clean up of the body flange and the seal. If you put it back in with no bedding compound it will leak. 3M 8509 has been on back order for months. There may be other products that are...
The trick is lube. The manual release only moves a lever out of the way. This allows a second lever to move unlatching the door. The second lever moves by spring tension. If it is stuck, the door remains latched. If someone holds the button in you can spray lube and tap on the mechanism. Or get...
My friends 70 Coronet R/T convertible had the OE 14" 5 spoke. I got him a st of 15x8 and 15x7 Magnums with 275/60x15 and 225/70x15. fills out the wheel well much nicer with same factory look. Something more modern? Billet Specialties makes a nice spoke wheel. I have them on my racecar.

It’s in the synchros/sleeves/and clutch. If the clutch does release or the sleeve/hub assy binds it won’t shift clean. Worn hubs and sleeves that have been filed to remove burrs and grooves shift very well. My Challenger (23spline, 3.55 gear, factory pistol grip) has the original (95k miles)...
What its worth? What it cost to build? What you can sell it for? All are different. I we looking at shelf forged pistons, stock crank, flat tapped cam, factory heads? Even then I'd bet carbs to pan its worth at least $5K. Maybe more to the right person. Especially if you have documentation. I'll...
Be aware that they cleaned the color from the gun at that point of the body. I've seen more than a few that the area behind the booster wasn't the factory color.

You have to understand how the latch works. When you move either handle it moves a lever in the latch. This lever does not open the latch. This lever blocks a second lever which keeps the door latched. A spring moves the 2nd lever after you move the 1st lever with the handle. If the piviot for...
I have 2 friends with rotesirie restored B Body Convetibles. 70 Coronet R/T, 64 Fury
The Fury has fully welded subframe connectors. The Coronet exhibits cowl shake at times. The Fury drives like a H/T.

And how did you come to this conclusion? Here's a pic of my wife's car. It was purchased as a nice driver quality matching number 340 4 speed Rallye. We didn't like the color, the grille, the small 14' ralley wheels, the vinyl top. So we changed it. Yes it's badged as an R/T. Oh sacrilege its a...
Because its the owners choice of how they like to look at their personal car. They could care less what someone else thinks. It's their car. Why would you care if their personal car was badged the way they like it? Are you the proper build police? Do you check each VIN to make sure?
