Beautiful car. Personally, I would’ve opted for the tic tock tach rather than having that column mounted tach though.

Who knows? Maybe they had them dialled in better by 1970. Or it could just be a matter of adjusting the glove box door. Either way, not too serious. Here’s mine. Quite different.

Did you make that happen or was it like that from factory?

Agreed. Changing plugs on a 440 is a real cunt. Sure I might slam things or even shout the “c” word once or twice but it’s all worth it in the end. Calm down, you psycho.

Yep. I’ve never seen a second gen without that gap/notch.

That’s not an imperfection but rather just how they were made.

That’s a really nice car. Should have never been disassembled. The paint would’ve buffed out beautifully.

Thanks for the thought anyway

Cue the trombone….. the corner pieces don’t fit! Son of a bitch! Sure wish the originals came with the car

I never considered the corners being different. Good call. I’ll try them on before I start with the cutting

When I bought my car it came with a bunch of parts. One being the rear window interior trim brand new in the TrimParts box. Yesterday I painted them an off white and today I was excited to install them. But something wasn’t right. They didn’t fit worth a shit. And then I got thinking….. could it...

Someday it would be great to restore the entire car but I’ll have to tinker for the time being. And I just got back from a cruise with my wife and son and the gauges just started working again about mid cruise. I guess I’ll just keep an eye on it and when it happens again I’ll get into it.

That’s an excellent explanation thanks! Now all I need is you to come fix it for me haha

I’m not trying to beat this topic to death but I too am having issues with the fuel and temp gauges. I haven’t read anything thus far that gives a reason why these two gauges have interconnected trouble. The oil pressure never did work that well but I have an aftermarket one under the dash...

Thanks. Will definitely be going for a test rip today.

I’m in unfamiliar territory, fellers. I noticed earlier this spring that the inside of my RR tire has fluid on it. I did my research on fbbo and figured the axle seal is leaking. So I read it could be from pressure and the vent might be clogged so I removed it, cleaned it up, and was able to...

Oops! Here’s the before and after:

Well the test drive was fairly anticlimactic which, I suppose, is a good thing. They weren’t any rattles or noises that weren’t there before. The rear suspension might feel a wee bit softer but it’s not a dramatic change. And also, the ass end is at least an inch lower. Here’s a before and after:

I decided to stop trying to be so creative and just use stock size bolts and factory bushings. I don’t want my car to turn into something “Roadkilly”. The 1/2” bolt was a bit loose in the holes but once I cranked the lock nut on there it doesn’t seem to rattle around at all. And these blue...

I appreciate the honesty. I’m starting to feel defeated though. I think I’ll try knocking the sleeves out of the bushings, and squeeze a slightly bigger one in them, even if I have to drill the rubber to make the sleeve fit. Whoever modified the car before royally screwed me over haha.
