Well this turned into a bit of a ****storm. :-)

Let me give you all a bit of the background of all of this. This car was my project in high school. I have owned it since 86. I put a lot of...

Been there, done that, got the PTSD to prove it. ;-)

Car is actually complete, just needs stuff replaced. I drove it for about 4 years in college (80's - 90's) and just decided that it was too...

Don't worry too much, at this point it's just talk on the phone. Before I make a decision I'll show the radiator guy the actual radiator and he can tell me what the prognosis is.

I'm willing to...

Thanks for the replies. I think the right thing to do is just start working on the suspension. Unlike in years gone by I have a close (< 1/4 mile) autoparts store that will provide me with the...

The frame is definitely bent. Before I got it, it was hit hard on the right-front corner. The passenger door had to be "adjusted" by the body shop to the point it doesn't latch correctly, but it...

How to start eating this elephant

So my much neglected 68 is starting to weigh on my mind as my daughter is off to college and my son is of an age to want to help.

It's been sitting for 25 years, and to say it will need a lot of...

So how do I tell if it's a period correct Q-jet if the seller doesn't know? How do I tell if it's beyond rebuilding (if that's possible)?

Or do you mean just rebuild the 73 I've got? I really...

I posted about this some years ago (about 8 or 9 I think) and the collective brain trust poo-poo'ed the whole idea. I still haven't fixed my car, but it's good to see that people are starting to...

There's not actually a whole lot of original paint left on the truck. I imagine that the DA is going to hit metal in fairly short order.

Is epoxy primer the "standard" these days? Is it going...

Paint basics
