It's a little bit down the road, but I too will be looking for a good-fitting set of headers for my 3rd gen Charger.. so I appreciate the discussion and the advice. I know there's no way I'm shelling out TTI money, so I'm already looking at my options.

Yup, a bottom tap does cut but mostly at the bottom. If the treads are not damaged at the top but say half way down, the bottom tap will be fine. In the 30+ years in machining and even more years of working on cars, I never made the threads worse. Before I go into any thread, I inspect them and...

I agree. Cheep Chinese hardware

Not even close. Still had threads showing and the full shank

Do you know you can buy all that stuff new? Pg classic has all the top and chrome bits, and then you can get the body from oer I believe

Are those 8" on the rear, maybe even wider? Do you remember the tire size there too? Love the stance and look. I have a pair of the, what seems sought after, 15x6 Hemi JK 839 wheels I can use on the front and am looking for rears still.

Uupdate, Miss Bird is back up and running, turns out the Torque converter bolts had back out and was hitting the back of the block creating a spun bearing sound..Took me about 10 months before I got back trouble shooting it. But now she's up and running again, didn't have to the engine what a...

If you found a 55 year old never used top would you actually use it? I imagine it would be a dry crusty beast? Anyway, I’ve been looking around for a tan top too (GTX) and heave learned that the maker of the material seems to have discontinued it. So says Legendary interiors anyway… If you...

If you’re thinking about using the pistons, measure the piston to deck distance at TDC. You’ll reference it often. Should be about 0.055”.

I wonder if that came out in 1976 for the U.S. Bicentennial.

Congratulations on your long career, and enjoy your semi retirement. I pulled the plug at 62. The first year many honeydew's were completed. Second year more travel and working on my cars and offloading excess parts. Third year slowing down enjoying life, and prioritizing which projects will get...

USCartool. Good experience here. Be sure to properly prepare and weld. Watch the asbestos when removing undercoating if any. Keep us posted when you get to the other side.

Scary. Hydration factor? Next time you start talking Hieroglyphics, call 911. I am very familiar with this circumstance. Don’t mess around. Don’t care that you are 5 min from ER.

Dang. That is super cool. If you find two let me know! :thumbsup:

When they said "you might live to be 80" they never told you that the last 20 years is going to be a battle. You have to change some habits and just make the most of it. Good luck!

Strangely since I've been laid off most nights I'm sleeping more, even compared to say a week when I was on vacation. My current theory is that when I'm working, even on vacation I'm always thinking about the next thing on my projects, but being laid off I know that chapter is over and I can...
