Nice work and excellent results 73RR! Beautiful car! Barry 68 GTX

I bought my kit from him and have mixed reviews for Wayne Brown. The good: he is knowledgeable about the product and product seems to be of acceptable quality. The bad: Price is a little on the high side; installation instructions not great; poor product support - his master cylinder was bad. I...

Today I put two new lower tension springs on to start the process of bending them to contact the star and lock it into position. What I found was the new springs put way more tension on the slack adjuster (no contact), so much so that I don't believe they will back off any more. I re-engaged the...

Thanks guys for the excellent suggestions. I am thinking the first effort will be to try to engage the spring to contact the star on the auto adjuster to keep it from free wheeling as per 66satellites suggestion. If that does not work, I will try to find a manual adjuster set up that does not...

I am considering installing rear disk brakes on my 68 GTX, mainly because of issues related to the automatic adjusters. I read in the archives that 68 model and older Mopars had a problem with the auto adjusters over tightening the brakes and a common cure was to disable them. I did this, and...

Hard to beat original Kolwalsky (and Delaney and Bonnie, but I do like Audioslave)! Paul Lemat pretty good in American Graffiti too-white tee shirt with a pack of cigs rolled up in the sleeve. I know I am showing my age, but I like the originals, and am really digging my 68 GTX! BW

Beautiful car, may be the best looking '69 I've ever seen! Congrats!

Welcome aboard Eric, I have only been aboard myself for about six months, but it is an awesome site with great archives. I graduated from Jemison high school many moons ago, but finally landed a much desired '68 GTX last September and have relied on this site to help get it ready for prime time...

I just replaced the outer axle bearings on my 68 GTX with Dana 60, 3.54 gears and changed fluid in diff. I put the Castrol 80/90 with Limited Slip additive in it for $8 per qt. vs the Royal Purple for $21 per qt., thinking I will change again in about 500 mi to flush. May go back with RP, but I...

Excellent post Magnes, and you have provided me with encouragement and inspiration as painting a car is on my bucket list. Malcolm Gladwell claims you can become an expert on anything in 10,000 hours, but with YouTube and forums like this one, I bet it could be cut in half. Besides, I believe a...

More proof either you like bacon or you're wrong!

A few pics of the disc brake conversion from Ram Man on 68 GTX, hope it helps! Also added tubular upper A arm from Firm Feel which added 3 degrees of positive castor and urethane bushings. I am not a big fan of KYB shocks, but these are new so I will run them a while and evaluate while looking...

I am interested in the horns, not sure how to PM. Spent the last 15 minutes trying to find it, so if this replys to all, sorry! Anyway, what type of payment do you accept?
