I ended up making a tool to fit inside the center hinge pin tube. Then I clamped onto it with a pair of vice grips and beat it out. No harm to the hood panels. The pin isn't much worse off than it already was. [ddd I can order new pins if I decide to use all or part of the hood. I've been...

Speaking of a buddies Plymouth, I just got this from a buddy I haven't heard from in years.

I'm not superstitious, but I'm keepin' it zipped from now on. :D Glad you got it sorted out. [cl [cl [cl

Interesting video. Megaphones. [ddd Must answer the question of why the big oval exhaust tips. Besides looking cool of course.

I don't foresee any issues that could arise form this little stretch. What shows in a door gap will not be noticed in the wheel opening position. Or should I have not said that? :D[ddd

[cl Good to hear that the good Doctor is surviving, adjusting, and doin' what needs doin'. I can assure y'all of one thing, if I were in his shoes, I'd be cranky as all ... I suspect he will be back in due time. [cl

Henway??? What's a henway? [S [ddd :D

look at the numbers on the block, too. A 340 would be a way cool engine to have. I am guessing you already did that... :D Ah, the stuff dreams are made of.

i went once. My wife at the time was the offspring of a long time SCTA big wig. Well worth the trip.

How close is the exhaust to the fuel line? If you have a couple inches, you are likely safe with nothing. Assuming it is not an over the top "fire breather". For peace of mine, a reflective shield, or wrap can't hurt. If the fuel line is inside the frame rail, and the exhaust is outside, the...

I have one of those critters. NIB. Never mounted. Somewhere in my pile of stuff. :D (The pile that is a five hour drive away.)

Big steps, small steps, its all progress. Its all good. [cl [cl [cl

First thing is to turn it around so the motor is in back. Sorry, couldn't help myself. ;)[ddd That is a cute little antique. Likely better quality than my import mini-lathe. It will be fun learning how to use it.

You can get a more domesticated model like mine. Small, quiet, and house broken. It lives in my living room. I use it to spin up pool cues. :D Expect to spend more on tooling than the lathe. Of course, having one leads to wanting a milling machine. And they are a whole other can of worms. :eek:

More experienced builders have spoken. Sorry for the wild goose chase. :o

I stand corrected. And thank you for it. [cl I should have verified my assumption. I learned something today, also.

Spring height should be in the Speedway catalog. I believe the spring rate (how much weight it is designed to handle) should also be in the catalog. It is one of the parameters you should consider when ordering. Travel will be only a couple inches with the right spring. To the pros out...

It is always better to have a bit extra, so to speak. :p The bell-housing part of the engine doesn't really need to be out in the open, so you might be able to fudge that a little. Where is the distributor?If it is in the back, you need clearance for it. If you have all your pieces, line them...

There is a relatively decent running 60 Biscayne close to me for $8500. I'm not quite tempted enough to do anything about it. But if I was more in the market, it would work.

I like the long angle. Besides looking cool, it will slide over speed bumps easier, too. :D [ddd
