    Back glass water leak

    I think you could urethane the holes but would not use urethane to hold the window in

    Can you “re-key” an ignition tumbler?

    You probably don't need a locksmith. It's pretty simple.

    Tie down question when Trailering

    Towed 1000 miles twice this year. Straps through the rims on all 4 wheels straight to the trailer D rings. Car didn't move a bit even on Indiana's roughest roads.

    Torsion removal

    The control arm bolt is pressed into the bushing. It is not a thru-bolt, and that shoulder does not hold anything in place

    Jumper cables? Nah....there is a newer, better way to go.

    Have both the JNC and NOCO on the farm. Both are good pieces, the JNC can really take some abuse.

    Keying your cars alike?

    Changing key codes is very simple. Just need a few extra locks because they only used so many pin lengths, just different combinations. Get a couple of junk locks and practice. Google how to do it. Easy peasy

    Steering Column Too Short by 1/2”

    Not sure what you are working on but, 68/69 steering shafts are 41.4" (PS), 44.5" (Non PS) You can get a very, very rough measurement while still in the car.

    Steering Column Too Short by 1/2”

    No. The steering wheel will hold the upper portion tight provided you have the wheel retaining nut on. Also, the shaft is two pieces. The upper shaft should stay put, lower should extend. If you go thru Dadsbee's restoration post he goes into great detail about how the upper and lower shafts...

    Steering Column Too Short by 1/2”

    You really don't need to take it apart. Remove the column, tap steering shaft out (towards the box if on the car). Reinstall.

    Hypothetical VIN question:

    Even with a 17 digit VIN, only the last 6 are sequence numbers, the other added numbers are generally Country of Assembly, Brand, Division, and a Check Digit.

    Hypothetical VIN question:

    As mentioned, last 6 are used once per year per plant. However, not all plants (if any) start at Zero for the model year. So, last 6 could be duplicated in the same year but different plants, so the entire VIN would never be duplicated.

    Repairing pulled frame openings used for tie downs

    With limited space on transports they tried to keep the body from moving to avoid hitting parts of the truck and causing damage, especially on cars in the lower sections.

    Repairing pulled frame openings used for tie downs

    I wonder how many of these cars have stretched frame holes from being tied down to tight on the transport trucks.
