    1969 Super Bee...worth restoring? Or make it a driver?

    I would drive it a couple of months to enjoy but mainly to see where any deficiencies / gremlins are. The numbers matching makes it worth a restoration in my book and if the engine has had a quality rebuild you are way ahead. I have a 69 Bee, numbers matching, 4 speed with factory air that I...

    69 Bee, 11” Drums - Auto Adusters or Not

    In the restoration of my 69 Super Bee, I am basically installing new everything except for backing plates and drums, which have been reconditioned and turned. Like a lot of old cars, there were some incorrect parts here and there including brakes, and there were no adjusters in them. Pros...

    ClassicCarWiring.Com Home of the original color laminated diagrams should have it. Laminated and in color. I got the larger size and has been well worth it, much easier to read.

    Bee Experts…

    I am a little ways away from installing, but I will definitely go to your thread when I do. FWIW, I have consulted your threads and posts many times. You have been a great help to me and I'm sure many others. Thank you.

    Painted bumpers makes me think that was a short cut as opposed to having re-chromed, which I know first hand is expensive.

    8 3/4 Rear End - Is this normal?

    I’m thinking that is likely what happened. Long ago…. Stephens is great. I’m confident my case is fine now though, thoroughly inspected and cleaned.

    8 3/4 Rear End - Is this normal?

    Actually I did not. Had marked it by scratching the nut and case. Lines up with the same threads showing (not much) as before. My impact isn’t that strong. Everything moves freely. I’m certain it isn’t too tight, a little concerned it isn’t torqued enough. There was nothing broke unless from...

    8 3/4 Rear End - Is this normal?

    Pinion nut is replaced and tightened as far as it will go with Milwaukee impact. Not sure if it is 240 - 250 ft lbs tho, don’t have a torque wrench that goes that high. Also replaced pion bearing and seal. Nothing is hitting now, wonder if it was the old bearing worn, tho it didn’t appear...

    8 3/4 Rear End - Is this normal?

    Have rear end apart to basically restore and replaced pinion seal etc. No idea why I haven’t observed this previously but is this normal? Doesn’t look normal to me but there were no obvious issues, all moves freely etc. Ready to put back together until I saw this. I am no rear end expert...

    Best way to clean underside?

    yeah not planning on going back with it except in a very few places. When I scraped some of this off I discovered serious damage in a couple places. Frame rail had been filled with foam, and in places the metal was gone but the undercoating covered it. I really want a cleaner look.

    Best way to clean underside?

    Undercoating is coming off ok with heat and scraper. The task is getting it cleaned up after that.

    Best way to clean underside?

    It is on a lift in my shop. Unable to use a pressure washer and wheels / drive train out so cannot move it. Thx

    Best way to clean underside?

    I am scraping the undercoating off with a torch and scraper, and it peels off quite easily (finding some areas needing repair under it). Once I get it all scraped off, what is the best way to clean the surface to eventually ready for paint. I am using steel brushes of every shape and size on...
