    What are you selling at Moparty?

    Wasn't sure if this belonged in the wanted section since it's pretty generic and has to do with a show so here it is... I'm not able to go this year but a friend who offered to pick things up is, so I thought it might help be and others to pre-arrange swap meet sales ahead of time. There are...

    '70 Vert - waited long enough...

    Right now I need to re-arrange my shop to move this to another area, then i'll lock everything in place and begin the real work. Yup, measuring twice, or 50, before cutting is a thing for sure

    Collision guide & Service manual & Collision parts & Frame & Front end Alignment Inner fender & Radiator support

    Thanks, I've done a lot of research on them and "fairly" confident (not overly confident and beyond asking for help) I can do it. Doors are already off but they weren't on right anyway. I have a jig I built, you can see it in the thread. I need to re-align things and get started in with the...

    Collision guide & Service manual & Collision parts & Frame & Front end Alignment Inner fender & Radiator support

    Basically, the car hit something like a pole or tree as evident by the pretzle that used to be the core support, then it sat for 35 years in a single car garage rusting away. So now I have to fix the rust damage at the same time. Here's my woefully out of date "build thread" '70 Vert - waited...

    Collision guide & Service manual & Collision parts & Frame & Front end Alignment Inner fender & Radiator support

    yeah some of these are hard to find. Maybe I didn't ask correctly. I'm looking for the distance from the datum up to the bumper "bracket" holes in the rear frame rails. Not the actual bumper so my wording (lack of words) might be thrown off the question.

    Collision guide & Service manual & Collision parts & Frame & Front end Alignment Inner fender & Radiator support

    This is great info, thanks! Two questions I've yet to find an answer to is for some reason are. 1. What is the height of the rear bumper bolts to he datum line 2. What is the height of the front most bumper bolt holes to the datum line. I know the other measurements exist but the drawings...

    How to title a car thats complicated!

    I looked up the bond process for my son a few weeks ago for Texas, we're near San Antonio. Your challenger is NOT worth 25-30k and that's easy to show. The bond for cars older than 25 years with questionable value usually ends up being the default $4000, the bond will likely be around $100...

    Epoxy and rust converters

    Not suspension etc, rather I'm talking about inner structure areas etc. Rust on suspension parts is easy, reoccurring rust behind a quarter panel is terrifying. lol. I know some people use POR-15 in those areas as well but like everything else, there is always someone who will complain about...

    Epoxy and rust converters

    I'm approaching the point in my project at which I'll need to get the bar metal sealed with epoxy and in researching various rust converters I ran across a couple of videos where ospho was applied in different ways and then sprayed with epoxy. Predictably the best results were when it was...

    '70 Vert - waited long enough...

    Small non-progress update. Turns out 1" threaded rod makes a really bad locator pin. Seems obvious now, but the threads catch the sheet metal as well as allow it to move ever so slightly. Solution was simple, 1" bolts with the heads cut off and we're back to awesome again. Next are the pull...
