Anyone have an opinion of this portable lift? I think I'm going this route to be able to move the lift out of the way for the 90+% of the time I am not using it (my garage is a wood shop and man cave too LOL). https://www.bendpak.com/car-lifts/portable-car-lifts/maxjax-m6k

I knew I should have gotten a patent before you stole my idea, LOL.

That's very good to know. Can you send a close up pic of the slot? How did you make the slot in the sheet metal?

I have a paint and body guy coming out next week to look at the car and give me some prices. He was saying that some people paint the trunk and engine bay black. I told him it was my understanding that they were frame color. I want this thing to look as close to how it looked when it left the...

Here's the front of the old fender that he traded for a more straight Satellite fender. he said it was almost an inch too short. Not sure how it went on before. EDIT: I think this is actually the passenger side door where the rust bubbles were coming up. I can't find the pics of the...

Haven't updated this thread in over a year and a half, so here goes. We just completed a fairly major add on to our house, and I am putting the finishing touches on a 36'x22' detached shop/garage I built, so this project has sat since late 2019. The plans from above changed a bit, and I went...

Looks awesome! So where exactly are these flaws you are referring to so other's may learn from them? I've tried to touch up our old regular cars a few times and have learned that paint/body is not my strong suit, to say the least. I am at the paint/body stage of my RoadRunner right now and...

I talked to the paint guy, he plans on using something called direct-to-metal (DTM) as the primer. He said it is sort of acid etcher and epoxy sealer all in one. Its a bit harder to sand later, but he said its one coat and done as opposed to doing the etch then urethane epoxy coat after that.

That makes sense for the hinges, but in looking at my door hinges, I don't see where they can be adjusted. I took off one bolt from the top and bottom so as not to move it, and they appear to be round holes, not ovals that I would associate with being adjustable. So what am I marking before...

Oh, one more thing is still on the car - the wipers and linkage thing behind the firewall/cowl. I read the service manual, searched youtube, and stuck my head up to the cowl hole and can't figure out how to remove them. Doesn't seem to be any bolts, screws or anything holding the wipers on...

OK, I think I have a paint guy who is going to take the car after metal work and give it a "good" paint job, on the scale of acceptable/good/show-quality paint jobs. A few local guys have used him, and I think he does nice looking weekend driver paint jobs for $6K-$7K, but he wouldn't give me a...

So how much of an *** beating did you give the douchebag with the cell phone who hit your car?

So they continued to make Dana 60 rear ends with sway bars after '72, right? Did the actual sway bar change from year to year, which drives the different stand-off sized from year to year?

I forgot to mention, but I am new to all of this, looking to make it into a decent looking weekend driver, and am trying to contain costs. And part of my reason for posting is to solicit feedback or for anyone to call me out for a horribly stupid plan. I am military, so I have thick skin...

Here are probably the worst parts in terms of rust - all 4 quarters, drivers side floorboard, a hole in the firewall, and that large chunk in the cowl caused by a huge next sitting there for who knows how long.

I started working on the suspension. With the help of that B-body book, this forum, and lots of other people, I think I am on the right track. I got the main parts powder coated, and replaced all of the UCA and LCA bushings and ball joints. I did this in parallel with my research in trying to...

This is how I received the car. The interior was almost pristine - it felt like you could just drive away if there was a shifter (and motor) sticking out. The dome light, key buzzer, wipers, etc. all worked. Initially I was going to poor man blast the bottom, rebuild the engine, suspension...

Been following (and posting a little) on this site for quite some time and never really introduced my project, so here goes . 1972 RR GTX, numbers matching U code, 4-speed, Dana 60. My uncle became second owner in 1975, beat the hell out of it, and seized the motor with 49,000 miles on it in...

I see, I think I wasn't clear in my post that I broke the stand-off link. You were recommending this '74 kit only for the rubber parts - the link itself won't work on the '72 Dana bar because it's too long, right???
