Got a few miles on her last night... Overcharging issue seems to resolve itself after 5 mins...not sure if it was a weak battery or not. Swapped out the 383 base for a 440 base....and the hood shuts fine now. Doesn’t really make any sense....but whatever works. The oil leak seems to be very...

How do I tell? From my understanding, a 440 base will work on a 383 motor....but a 383 base will not work on a 440 motor. Do I have that right? Doesn't the 440 sit a bit higher and therefore have a shorter aircleaner base?

Working on a few more issues.... 1) I have an overcharging issue....almost like the voltage regulator isn't working. The belt is squealing because the alternator is pulling so hard. I've tried 5 different voltage regulators (4 mechanical and 1 electric) and 2 alternators. Still can't correct...

She's alive....still need to cut the tail pipes and mount the exhaust tips. Busted my brand new windshield too. Gotta try to figure out how to put that in.

Getting exhaust on Thursday and hopefully start this weekend. It's been a long time coming.

I'm not sure of any particular order. I know I didn't want to try to put door locks and latches in with the glass in the door... So, I put everything in the door first. The latch, linkage and locks all went in first. You'll also need to get your window regulator put in as well. It becomes a...

Got the new wing window frames from Tony...holy **** are they expensive. But they look good. I just couldn't put my old pitted ones back on. Door hardware and glass back in. I found some new backing board for the door panels and used my old one as a template for clip placement. The original...

Been working on interior...

Anyone have any experience with this radio? https://www.amazon.com/RetroSound-RED-RTB-280-281-282-Redondo-Radio-Pack/dp/B0746ZR333

Do you have a link? The only one I saw was the wood grain bezel for the GTX. I was looking for the black face. Thanks for the reply!!

Anyone have one laying around?

Found some time to clean and paint the heater box. New core and fan motor.

It's been hard getting in the garage this summer with kids at home....but they go back to school next week. I did get a chance to paint the boxes and get them installed.
