    Garage

    Everything about a big shop costs more. Heat, surface water costs, taxes, etc. Crap expands to fill the space. I could drive in and do a u turn inside when I got it. Now I need to sell cars to have room to work.

    How much can I get out of a 318.

    10's. The old round number average, 10 sec 140mph 30" w 4.10, or 32" with 4.30. If you go lower, 4 56 or 4.88, you might be quick but trap less. Break it down with tire size and gear, but all combos get you to about 6750 in the traps. And your going to need a pretty fair hp. Approx. 550-600...

    How much can I get out of a 318.

    2 of the fastest normal cars I've been in, were built 318's I didn't believe it when they told me. The fastest street car I've ridden in was a rotax( I'm thinking now it was a procharger) 400 chevy, 69 Nova. Steel, street car. The engine was all aluminum, and chevy in appearance only. Dyno'd at...

    Cowl holes? 70 cuda

    Seam sealer, window urethane, or weld them. The only reason to cover them is, they are closer to being above your vent hole. They are not a leak potential, as the cowl screens go to the same place. Seam sealer. Nice cowl. I dont see any rust.

    Cowl holes? 70 cuda

    The picture shows that area has been ground or smoothed. The factory had sharp protusions that bit into a rubber wedge in that spot. The wedge held the windsheild at the correct height. I could find some and show you. I should add, only early 70, my 2/70 has no holes

    Strut Rod Bushings

    Clean all the stuck rubber off. Unless you have bad rust, should be fine.

    WTB 70 cuda grill parts donor

    @Cpz71 I have found the area above the hood release broken often. Poorly adjusted latch handle, sticky latch or meat hands pulling against the grill while opening. Happened to me getting an alignment. And I warned them, the office, the tech, "bend over to find and release the hood". Back before...

    Fm3 paint mix

    I mixed up some paint. A finger full on some clear tape to compare to a chip, ( 2 brands of color sample) looks pretty good. Still wet, could change ever so slighty when dry. Of course, its not a uniform thickness when wiped on. I'll do a spray out. Then check outside when its not raining. The...

    Door Adjustment

    The door latch is fixed. You will have to adjust a hinge, probably the upper. The door need to come in a bit too. How is the fit to the fenders? Remember, convertibles move around a bit. You can't run the gaps as tight as a hardtop. Your latch and screws need to come out to remove the...

    Rear Sway Bar question

    I have your answer, but you are not going to like it. You have a diplomat cop car (F or M body) rear bar. The giveaway was the taper on the bar toward eyelet. E body are straight to the end. They are also shorter in that segment. Also 1" narrower. Orange bar is E.

    INFO needed Keith Black Hemi

    Look deep into your pockets, and decide if you are a hemi kind of guy. My machine shop, who have built many, told me not to. I could build several 440's, (nice ones, not stock) and a couple of 340's for the cost of an entry level stock hemi build. That one, is going to be a full build. But...

    Fm3 paint mix

    Have you ever seen an 80's to 90's camero that was pink on top, red on the bottom? Red being the most expensive color had GM (ppg) make the formula using purple and orange. The purple component faded fast. The glasurit formula for the same color used 3 different reds and black. Ground pigments...

    FOR SALE 1970 cuda convertible rear seat bottom

    @pschlosser That is a 70 pattern bottom. Your comment about them being the same made me go look. Why yes, nearly exactly the same. Hocus focus shows the coupe bottom having a little extra spring metal on the side. Bottom of the frame seems the same. Cleaner one coupe, dusty one conv. This is...
