So worth it in the end. Been there got the t-shirt. Always had some amazing thoughts while in my own head while sanding. Wife has a video of me thinking I “was by myself” just arguing away with MYSELF.

I guess I should. But I really just want to go back to the regular rubber bushings. This most likely is all self inflicted stuff. Never really did a bunch of suspension work. First time going from stock rubber to the stiffer bushings. Our roads are junk in Louisiana and the driving experience is...
These bad boys. They have a little “key way” bump that I used a burring bit to make in the tail light bucket. Then JB welded the snot out of them. Ran all the ground wires along the harness and thru the passenger body with the right rear side marker wiring and attached the ground using the same...
71Beeper,
I apologize if you have covered this somewhere in this awesome build thread and I’m asking instead of looking. Did you have to do any replacing of your tail light sockets. I have been fighting mine. Being dim. Blowing fuses. Dug in today and my sockets are shot. I found some at...
Boy. How does 8 months get away from us. Been lurking on here from time to time. But haven’t posted nothing on our car. lol. Waiting for the summer to ease up to get on the dash cluster install. No ac in the shop.
Put about 3 or 4 thousand miles on the car since the new suspension bushings were...
Other might say I’m suggesting half assing it. But if it were mine and I wanted to slow it down this is what I would do.
1. Clean the mess out of it. Get that drain opened up that 71Beeper was talking about after.
2. Rust convert it. Eastwood or Por-15
3. Put that stainless piece back on wipe...
Getting that upper cowl cut off and everything cleaned out of it will most likely greatly increase that ole girls life span. That area is a moisture trap.
All depends. Need to get 71 Beeper and a couple other 71 b body guys options. I’ve never done any body panels on a 71 body. I have heard some say the firewall and cowl area on 71 b bodies are the same as e bodies. Not sure. Other than cutting up a e body part next option is making patches. Or...
Do ac cars still have the stacks? I don’t have vents since it’s a ac car. I have always wondered that. I know it has one on the passenger side where the ac box gets fresh air. But no drivers side I think.
Looks like that long rectangle cover will come off and maybe be able to vacuum out that side. And the blower motor should come off the engine firewall side and be able to vacuum or blow air thru that side.
I’ll send some pics today of the box. I ditched the factory box because someone destroyed it long ago. Seems they were trying to change the heater core or the evaporator and they only had a hammer and chisel. Got a vintage air kit for a barracuda and made it work.
