I'm not sure whether it's too late and you have had your engine built already. There is a guy ... Dave Miller ... in Ellington, CT. He has been building engines for decades, and is the first choice for may who race at Lebanin Valley Dragway, and people ship him their engines from all over the...

Whats even more amazing ... is that there was never a gap. "IF" this piece I just recieved is correct, then I wonder what vehicle the one I had on there was originally intended for. I wouldn't put it past them to have swapped out a piece from another model ... or got to the end of the line and...

Well ... As we all know ... Things from the factory we not always perfect .. BUT ... those trim pieces were never off the car. Well ... all I do know is that the trim as never been off the car. I spent hours cleaning paint off it after the repaint 20 years ago(Where the tape job was not...

Taking a chance. Anybody happen to have an extra drivers side window trim corner piece? Bought a piece online form a supposed restoration site but it isnt even close. Mine fell off (Or possible stolen, there is a tiny little dent where someone may have pryed it off)) and spending $200+ for a...

The Vinyl top is in decent shape. No cracks. This car obviously has been garaged all its life, and it shows. 36,000 miles with only one repaint. Interior & Top are original. Tried Mothers Back to Black and wasn't impressed with the result. I recently tried the old shoe polish trick, and that...

Right ... I remember doing that too ... totally forgot. Took hours, but looked great.

My 1970 RR has its original vinyl top. What product(s) are best for bringing back the deep black from it's glory years?

Thanks for the heads up. Mine is the original tank and fille ... but obviously the new filler is a reproduction. I'll run it down so there is very little fuel in it, in case I need to drop the tank. I'm still trying a variety of keyword searches to see if there is a video of someone doing an...

Thanks ... I have a new filler neck & seal on the way. Took a close look and it seems like if I can get a grip on it, I can pull it straight out. Been wondering if there was some sort of lube to use so the new one slides in and doesnt move/damage the new seal as Im puttin the new neck in.

Need to replace the Fuel Filler Neck on my 68 RR. It is the original and the tines are worn and bent out to the point the gas cap won't seal. Currently have a second gasket on there for a better seal, but still leaks. Anybody know of a step by step video or set of instructions showing the...

Since I have 2 "Red-Cap" carcasses in the garage now, I think I'm going to attempt a "Heart Transplant" on one of them as some of you have done/suggested. Just out of curiosity … what did you use to cut the bottom out of the battery? AND … Did you seal it back up … or did you use just the...

Well … The Shipping Label on the box says 02/20/17 … and I know someone who got a battery last Winter/Spring. But … having no response .. It looks like they may be closed. So much for the 4 year warrantee. :-(

Did you mean Stephen's Performance? I'm going to call both these places mentioned in the morning. Thanks.

Does anybody know if Antique Batteries/Jim's Battery Service is still in business? The phone number still works, but the mailbox is always full. E-mails get bounced. Or … does anybody know where to get another battery? Mine crapped out after 3 years. Acting like a dead cell. Shows full charge...
