Thank you Derwud - very helpful !

Hi Derwud - I have a 70 Charger and the American Autowire kit 510634 - how did you connect to the headlight door motor ? Also would you mind explaining the fix for the 2 speed wiper (I don't have a 3 speed either). Thanks!

Lane at Vans Auto just sold me 2 door jams for $20.-- These were single pole, large thread. Listed as a 71-74 part https://vansauto.com/product/door-jamb-switches-71-74-b-body/

Mike, thanks for the comments - I do think yours has been worked or is different from the factory as it seems to be sloped. Maybe I shoud just cut out say 16", and weld it shut again with a shaped piece. Keep on rockin'

Mike - Holy cow ! you have been busy ! Congratulations on your progress. I wish to know more about de-humping the wheel house on the quarter panel side. Seems The "ledge" in the quarter panel side prohibits a lowered stance with bigger tires. You can see the "ledge" in the 2nd photo of my...

Mike here is where I am at ! Regards! (I am not good at posting)

Hi Mike - I love what you have done to your car - so well thought out. I have been busy with a basement re-do for the last 1/2 year and my project has stalled a little. Will get 'er going again in a few weeks. Highest compliments to you !

After welding in frame connectors, I plan to blast the undercarriage with 30-60 glass, clean with wax & grease remover and immediately apply epoxy (basf 801-703 chromated). the top coat will be applied within a week. Next will be the trunk, interior, engine bay, trunk lid, hood doors fenders...

Scope creep is something that is bound to happen ... plan on adding time and cash requirements to your project, especially if you are building it for you to drive. While you work your way down to the shell there will be many things you'll want to address. The good news is if you are patient...

Hi Dave, To your second question, a Carter AVS 4401S came with a '69 383 engine that I have and would sell. It has not been rebuilt but is in good shape. Patrick

Thanks all of you - this will come in handy

The Corbeau Sport Seat or their GTS II look like they may suit the b-bodies - pricing seems good too ($1000 for 2 leather Sport Seat seems reasonable). Does anyone have experience with them ? They'd be great fer racin'

I have used black electrical tape to mask areas on mag wheels before sandblasting with success. used an exacto knife to get the surfaces straight. the sand just bounces off the tape.

I'll be laying down primer on the undercarriage, engine bay, trunk and interior of the car this summer. Never gone this far but did some research and settled on starting with epoxy primer - BASF Glasurit 801-703. This stuff is not for sale here in Canada so I'll be visiting Buffalo this winter...
