First, if this is the wrong section, please move it to the appropriate place. I just got word that the former head guy of ECS Automotive Concepts, David Walden, is having all of his cars put up for sale. Some of the nicest, top notch resto work went into these cars and if you did not have a...
I remember someone saying to me that if you cut a piece off of the 69 Roadrunner headlight bezels they will then fit on a 69 GTX. Does anyone know the process to do this or which area to cut? I have access to a pair of freshly restored and reanodized 69 Roadrunner headlight bezels but want to...
Some of you might have seen the restoration work I have been doing on my Dad's 69 GTX convertible titled "Bringing it back to factory specs". Over the last couple days, I have gotten to the point where it was time to reinstall the windshield. I initially removed the windshield because we had...
What was the correct / OE color or paint code for the air inlet screen for the 69 road runner / GTX air grabber? I'm in the process of restoring the car and want to get the correct color back on this.
Has anyone else encountered a problem with the JEGS big block windage tray that has the reuseable gaskets on it leaking at the rear of the engine? I've installed one of these on my charger and it seems to be leaking in the area where the recessed holes would be for the rear main seal. Jegs says...
I'm getting ready to restore the front end on our GTX. What would be a good paint to use on the torsion bars? I want to dip the torsion bars to get the same appearance as the factory did with the drips. What would the best paint to use for this type of application?
Does anyone reproduce the factory style plastic pins or "nails" that hold the insulation to the firewall? One of the ones in my car had the tip break off when I was wiping down the firewall. I know the aftermarket ones had been incorrect but has anyone stepped forward to repro the correct ones?
On the way to a show today with Dad's 69 GTX vert with the 440, he called me up and said that he was overheating and pulled off to the side of the road. I met up with him and saw coolant flowing like a faucet was turned on from the lower part of the pump. We had the car towed back home and...
Well, I made the fatal mistake of not taking a pic of the engine harness prior to unraveling the old tape. Would the tach wire have been wrapped with the engine harness or would it have been an "add on" taped every so often to the engine harness since it was an optional item and not every car...
Was the original idler arm for a 68-70 B body the natural cast iron color or was it painted black by the vendor? I want to say that it was natural cast iron like the center link.
On a 69 Plymouth GTX 727 trans, I have a trans leak coming from the vertical gear selector shaft where the shift linkage connects to and goes inside the trans. Is the seal accessible by dropping the trans pan or is it something that you need to drop the entire trans to repair?
Getting ready to reinstall the harmonic balancer and I noticed that the timing mark is not lined up with the key way section on the hub. Are these supposed to be lined up? If so, I'm guessing that would mean that the outer ring spun. The rubber piece that is sandwiched between the hub and the...
Continuing on with our 69 GTX vert project, I have the hood release and striker as well as the latch removed from the car. Someone had painted the parts with a clear zinc color paint but where the paint did not get appears to be a brownish blackish color. What was the original color of the...
Was the pin stripe on the blacked out area on 1969 GTX's a reflective stripe? I've heard that the white was while the red was not. Our car has the red stripe on it and from talking to the third owner, that stripe was never removed and does not appear to have ever been messed with. The red...
