    Hurst Pistol Handle

    ...with an extremely confused look on my face :( :eek:

    Hurst Pistol Handle

    Not that I know... but, I did pull the rubber boot up a little hoping the rubber would hit the center console instead of the metal handle. I haven't pulled it back down into place and that's probably why it looks shorten

    Hurst Pistol Handle

    Hahaha, sometimes I have bad thoughts like this... but then I remember what happens to Wile E. Coyote every time he uses a saw... I would end up with my car falling through the center console!! Hahah

    Hurst Pistol Handle

    I was hoping this was a typical issue with a quick fix. I'm guessing I'll have to pull the shift boot up to get a better look at the adapter plate. I'm really hoping the center console wasn't misplaced.

    Hurst Pistol Handle

    I have a 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner with Hurst Pistol Grip with center console. I've had it for about 1.5 years. Does anyone know why the metal handle hits the chrome trim of the center console when the shifter goes into 2nd and 4th gear? It's been happening since I've had the car and it's...

    1971 Horn ring removal?

    Hey everyone, What is the best way to remove this horn ring from a 1971 steering wheel? It appears to have a rubber gasket below it and I would prefer not to damage that piece. Any ideas on how to remove this ring? Maybe a special tool? Holy crap it's on there tight! Any help would be...

    Steering wheel exchange...

    Thanks Rat Rod Al... What about the outer center portion of the wheel? The new wheel has a little piece that is broken off. I can live with it, but if I can swap that piece out also, I will. I added the photo where the piece is broken. I'm guessing the way to remove that center portion, I...

    Steering wheel exchange...

    Hey Everyone! I own a '71 Roadrunner. I recently got a plain "Plymouth" steering wheel (photo provided below) that has a way nicer grip than my current steering wheel which has grip tape around it. I would like to swap out the wheels so I don't have to use the grip tape anymore. However...

    How to Hurst Pistol Grip?

    Hey Stanton and Sam69sat, Thank you both very much for the info! I was not aware the original metal being peened over the bezel! So yeah, it looks like I'm just gonna put on the new grips and keep the old bezel on there. It's really not that bad and I was more looking to replace it out of...

    How to Hurst Pistol Grip?

    Hello Everyone! I am in the process of replacing my old worn out 4-speed Hurst Pistol Grip on my '71 Roadrunner. As you can see from the pictures, the lens on the old one has a cracked bezel... the older grip was a pretty faded too. I was able to replace the grip as you can see, but I...

    Seat removal for '71 Roadrunner

    Hey 71RRHI, that's exactly what I ended up doing brother! It came out great and the mirror, which does have some weight on it, is on the body nice and secure. Those rivets help me sleep better at night!! I'll share these same photos later on another post of the small jobs I've done recently...

    Seat removal for '71 Roadrunner

    Thank you all for the super fast feedback!! Being a first time classic car owner especially of a MOPAR is fun as hell to work on, but it's also a bit nerve-wrecking. When I installed the Gull-Wing, I had to drill the holes into the top of the trunk lid... talk about measuring a million times and...

    Seat removal for '71 Roadrunner

    Thanks mopar 3 B, yeah once I removed the bottom seat, I could barely see what I believe to be the seat belt holes, but they were much higher up the floor like you said near the tunnel... A few folks have said on this thread that I may not need to even remove the back of the seat, but I guess I...

    Seat removal for '71 Roadrunner

    Thank you WileERobby! I wish I could say I had something to do with it, but I got it after all the work was done. But man, I love driving this car. I get a ton of folks wanting to hear the "beep-beep" horn and a lot of thumbs-up at red lights. Already had a guy offer me a good amount for it-...

    Seat removal for '71 Roadrunner

    Thanks Runcharger!! I'm working my best to keep it up to par and looking good. But don't get me wrong, I drive this car! No trailer for this MOPAR!

    Seat removal for '71 Roadrunner

    Hello Everyone, I am a fairly new owner of a '71 Roadrunner that was restored years and years ago but it's in great shape. I have added some photos... The rear seats did not come with seat belts and I am planning on installing them. Left, middle, and right. I've learned how to remove the...
