I’ve gone through 3 units so far for my 1970. The last one I got said original manufacturer but it’s sloppy and no longer returns. It will probably totally fail soon. I think there is one place in China making these and a lot of marketing BS. I haven’t figured out where the issues are in these...

Curious did you ever find the issue?

Thank you Mark!

Thanks for the likes and encouragement! Means a lot Bill!

For comparison if you haven’t been following. The only perfect panel that I had was the hood. And what’s funny is it’s the only part I didn’t use because I wanted the air grabber. And also my concept was to make the Sport Satellite a real Sport Satellite with a 340 in it. Why call it “Sport”...

I think I’m going to consider my restoration complete finally. I got the car in 2017 and probably started my restoration in 2019 that makes the restoration process six years long. It’s been a long strange trip, but I’ve enjoyed most of it and it’s been good for me most of it and I’ve learned a...

I think it’s a 7 inch. I’ve been told that 8 inch boosters worked better. Mine I have to push pretty...

Looks like cop car wagon has the goods! Thank you! I will mark this wtb closed when I figure out how to do it lol

Hey guys I am in need of an upper kickdown bell crank that I want to modify. One like the one below. If you have something close it may still work as I have to modify. Thanks MF

Id say if we all have cool cars we all made bad choices lol

I guess this leads the door open for a special car for an every day drunk or an every day car for a special drunk.

Yeah, it’s not like an every day car for an every day drunk. I don’t take my car out all the time only when it’s nice out and I want to drive it. Certainly not after I’ve been drinking. Oh wait, I don’t drink.
