I couldn't agree more. There are billions of fonts available and easy text editing software to allow exact reproductions to be made fairly easily and quickly. ...and yet we get substandard crap! WHY??? :cursin:

Yeah, but you have fun prepping them for use as a funnel! :thumbsup: :drinks:

Wow. That's a lot of money for 4 tires. I know it's a special car and all, but I'd be throwing on some cheap(er) radials and running them for now. Plus, you have a lot of other cars now to keep shoes on!

Yeah, I have the same gap. The 68 in your picture looks great. Looks like it is time for a run to a big box store!

From what I understand, those numbers don't seem bad.

The gauge probably works fine. Easiest way to tell how the arrows work it to hold it at an obvious angle one direction from vertical and take a measurement, noting how the arrows point. Now rotate it past vertical leaning the other way. Again take a measurement - the arrows should point the...

I agree. you need to use good attachment points that are representative of the true angles. None of the housings are good to use. Good idea! I used the point referenced by Kern Dog below for the pinion and a straight edge across the balancer pulley, but I like the socket idea. Note also that...

It's getting a little tight in the garage!

I'll take the spiro locks any day vs. having to heat up the rods and pressure fit them on. I have found that to be a real pain in the arse! Regardless: Good progress and good luck with the rest of your build! :thumbsup: Oh, and make sure you CHECK ALL YOUR TOLERENCES AND DON'T ASSUME...

You are making good progress - keep it going and you'll be bolting stuff back on the body before you know it! :thumbsup:

:( That sucks. Sorry to hear it. These are the trials and tribulations of building a classic car...

I am certainly no glass expert, but can't you file it down so it won't spread?

Looks like it is getting some much needed attention!

Better than if you drilled an extra hole you didn't need!

Only one hole for the door handle!

can you imagine that Opel with a stroked small block in it?!? Rich: Your next project!!!

I realize this thread got kind of dropped since taking the car across country didn't work out. Instead, I took my 73 Road Runner across country. That thread, if anyone cares, is here: Hawkrod 'RoadKill' Cross Country Trip 2022 I decided to do a total rebuild of the 70 Road Runner engine just to...

Like you, when I restored my 70 Road Runner I slowly built and tested each system independently, but when it all came together it was still nerve-wracking. I was lucky and all the systems I assembled worked like they should first time out. With the care and attention to detail you have, I'm...

Putting "sweat equity" in a house is a good thing. And since you are handy, you can do most of the work yourself. Yes, materials are still pricey, but the rewards are big. Keep up the good work!
