In any case, you are better off having the paint supplier shop analyze your existing paint and match it rather than having them mix it to a code and hope it matches the way they mixed it the first time.

Well, I worked on the spouses Honda. Why? Because Jiffy Lube forgot to bolt the belly pan back on all the way and it fell off and was dragging under the car. Thankfully no other damage was done as she was wise enough to stop and call me. Jiffy Lube $%#@&!

Putting on the red paint on the two-tone red/white on my 57 Dodge Coronet. Doors and fenders shot today. Almost done! It's been a long and winding road.

I'm running 245/60/15 on an 8" wheel with 4" offset. They do not rub. I would not go to a smaller tire. It looks good as is. Wider tire = better traction. Your easiest solution is to put a few rounds into the Torsion bars, which in my opinion, will also make the car feel better when driving it.

FWIW, these mounts flex from the factory. If you put a dial indicator on the mount and turn the wheel you can measure it. So... besides getting a better weld on there, adding a reinforcement gusset can also improve things.

Take all the spark plugs out so you are exerting minimal force on the bolt. This will eliminate the risk of breaking the bolt or stripping the hole out.

I rented one for a long road trip once and loved it. It had me thinking about buying one... but they only get average or worse consumer ratings for reliability, repairs, and resale.... so you are rolling the dice.

Flat won't hide bad body work.

Yes the Petty cars did exactly that. The hood and fender leading edges were also flattened to match the bumper upper profile to eliminate the gap that exists on stock versions of 3rd gen Chargers. By 73 there were tons a subtle changes being incorporated into "stock" car builds. The game was...

Nobody has one.

True fact: He was in my high school class though he dropped out in 10th grade. Frankly, I don't remember him. I don't think he was there very much.... but then again neither was I :lol: I have been following him since the early Soundgarden Days when they used to plaster every light pole in town...

Sabbath's end tour was amazing even tho Ward was not on it. And their last studio album was one of their best. Solid to the end.

He is here in Silverlake WA.... not sure you wanted to go that far. With me, he wanted to see the actual condition of the parts to give an accurate actual quote. I was more trying to give you an indication of cost. I can PM you info if you want to give it a go.

Last year I had a guy here straighten and buff about 24 pieces of stainless for my 57 Dodge. I didn't even think a few of pieces could be saved... he glanced at them and shrugged it off as "no problem". It was $1300 and worth every penny.

Where are you going to guy a header for just one side? Ideally, the exhaust type should be equal left to right, but running it like that temporarily or without exhaust piping is not going to hurt anything but your ears and relationships with your neighbors.

It's interesting. The EV fleet has not even been released yet. It would seem (reminiscent of the Hellcat, Hemi, Challenger, Charger demise), the Jaguar faithful would have rushed to buy the last fuel cars before they were gone. Instead the customers all seemed to have just walked away. At any...

Foreign for the spouse's daily, ....nothing but Mopar for me. On our second new Honda for the spouse's daily. Good mileage, never any mechanical issues, and easy to resale. Honda daily for life probably for now on. Before that, she drove used cars of various sorts... basically anything I could...

Allstate doubled mine, and more than doubled my car insurance premiums. Apparently they are doing this all over..... and it's not just Allstate. This is after continually raising premiums ever since the end of Covid. Why? "Inflation and the cost of labor and materials" is the canned answer. The...

Fixing up classic cars is expensive. If you enjoy working and are handy, you can do it yourself with enough time, beat the cost down quite a bit. If not, it's almost better to keep saving your money until you can afford a finished car. That's the way it is. It costs less to buy a finished car...

There is a copper one on eBay right now.
