The amount of labor involved added to the regulatory overhead for a chrome plating operation is just short of staggering. Yours is of the vintage that sits up high on the front of the car and any flaws will be readily apparent. The times I've tried to cheap out on a bumper have consistently...

One suggestion: have the coater use an epoxy powder if they’ve got it available in a color you want. Better chemical resistance and a little tougher surface once fully cured.

Nice work! You’re right about counter balance. I bought a home made hoist at a farm auction a good 20 yrs ago. Very heavy duty and I was thrilled at the amount the boom extended. Not thrilled in the right way though when I got ahead of myself with the extending and had the rear casters start to...

Great input. Thanks very much everyone! I'm dangerous now!

I'm probably overthinking it. I sure understood their standard springs might not be adequate. It was just the fact that none listed the solid option 'pre-configured' got me wondering if there was something unique going on. For example a solid lifter would for some reason pound the seats out of...

I've not settled on anything yet. It appears every offering I've looked at is the same way. Most recent was Edelbrock for example.

I'll apologize in advance for what's probably a dumb question. I started assessing a refresh on my current 906 heads. Costs quickly got to the point I was thinking I should look at aftermarket aluminum heads. I'd need springs that accommodate .520 lift. That seems not to be a problem. The fact...

Sitting out there hasn't doesn't it much good.

That’s one of the most moving stories I’ve read in a long time, Ed. Thanks for posting.

So glad to see you’re working on the wagon! Keep the updates coming please. I’ll enjoy seeing the transformation.

Your Belvedere still has the cable shift mechanism on the steering column. There are actually two cables operating your existing transmission. One for park and the other operating the valve body. That means there's a completely different mechanism involved where things attach to the...

I pulled this off a 63 Sport Fury with big block and A/C many years ago. At the time I was pulling stuff off to reduce weight and didn't give two hoots about authenticity. It just resurfaced recently in my world class parts system. The bearing spins freely. Upon looking closely it appears the...

7 New in the pack spark plugs, with the tune up sticker and outer box. All 7 are still in unopened condition. I've no idea where the 8th plug went; happened before my ownership. You can see on the box end these replace Champion J14Y. $24.00 shipped priority mail in the continental US. I prefer...

On any high dollar engine I can't imagine why you'd even wonder if you should. I always pre oil after something like that has been sitting a while. Being broken in is only part of the picture. I want to know all the bearing surfaces have a coating of oil before cranking it over to start. Peace...

Doug glad you’re happy with the pad. Now get that 440 sorted out and on to driving/enjoying the car! You can mark this listing as found by going back to your 1st post.

Class of 68. Never been to a reunion. No regrets.

First, thank you for your service! Second, welcome to the forum. In 1973 I got discharged. I changed out the rear end gears, bolted a trailer hitch to this car, hooked a 33 Chevy street rod behind it, packed my belongings in it and drove from San Francisco to St Paul, Mn. What a trip that was...

Ausgezeichnet!!

Welcome from the Hampton, Mn area. You'll enjoy your time on this forum. Lots of good stuff!

Here's the wrap around trim for inside of rear windshield. These shine well but have light peppering over most of the surfaces. I don't know that I've ever seen an original one that didn't exhibit that same problem. Not mint, not NOS but darn decent for a nice driver. I had a really clean low...
