Not to highjack the thread, but it got me thinking (actually a guy at work suggested) that there are (now) decent "snap on" dashpad covers. Not sure if it's ever been covered here....he's a pretty picky guy and hs several classic muscle cars. What is the group's thoughts or experiences? Is this...
1968 Dodge Super Bee- Originally a 383/4 speed car, now with a built 440. Don't have much info on the motor, as PO had lost paperwork. He did find the card for the Crane Cam (641201). Holley double pumper on an Edelbrock Torker 440 manifold. MSD ignition and coil. Headman headers into stock...

I did a Pypes Street Pro, "X" pipe (all stainless) and Doug's headers. Love 'em!
There's a couple of examples on youtube:

Again, agree with comments....
my comment was strictly from a functional perspective. I'm a "to each his own" kinda guy.
My point was that slapping bigger wheels on w/o the rest of the suspension system being considered, is a mistake. You'll get the cornering benefit, but in the long run...
Besides just the look......,
the tire/wheels effect ride. I've said this before, but it bears repeating....
When these cars were designed, the engineers took all the suspension components into account. That is, the (size of) the side wall of the tire, torsion bar spring rate, travel distance...
what fester said....
and find the guy with the gray hair!
When attaching, an old trick was to use a nut & bolt, but use a small piece of rubber tubing (fuel line) as a grommet inside the hole in the glass. (if I understand part of your question correctly?)
Either that or just buy a regulator...
Hey Island.....
For me, the regulators look like the inners of a helicopter. I had a set of 1/4 regulators in a box, that needed to be reassembled. The PO had not put them back in after paint. I got a little frustrated and had a body shop guy do them for me.
That pot metal is probably...
So I write to a repro seat belt vendor:
Hi,
I have a 1968 Dodge Super Bee with a bench seat. What is the stock length seat belts that came on the car?
I wasn't sure if I should order the 60" or 74".
Thanks,
Pete
Here's my answer:
Front or rear?
I write back "Isn't the rear always a...
there's also something 90+% overlook.....
I was into the 61-64 Lincoln convertibles a while back. I spoke with a guy at Baker's Auto down in CT about the cars. He was laughing at a car that had come in (with 22" rims) and the guy was complaining about the steering wheel wobbling..just a plain...
Stumper....
Thanks for the reply and length info.
To be honest, I can't see mounting holes for the lap belts, when the seat is folded forward. I assume that the new carpets are hiding the mounting holes on the sides of the transmission tunnel and by the doors(?)
I'll peel the carpets back a...

I had a set made by a guy in the Northwest. He takes an existing center and weld a 15" hoop onto it. Any backspace you desire and powder coated @ ~$100/wheel + shipping.
PM me if you'd like his contact info

Been around cars a long time and believe in the adage that if one side is frozen, the other side (roller) can't be far behind. No doubt it's the drivers side(?)
If you can find the kit, it might be worth tearing into both doors and replacing all the rollers, greasing it and...
I have a '68 Super Bee with a bench seat. Car came to me w/o front seat belts. I'd like to buy & install but there seems to be 60" and 74".

Thanks in advance,
