Hello, This is a follow up, in progress from my earlier posts. Its already end of july. Been occupied with house move and other projects. I purchased an inclometer, and have found that the transmission is angled down 6° , and the rear pinion angled down 2°. I am hoping to raise the transmission...

Got it done! Passenger side was quick. Think i wound up with 3/4", but it may settle a bit more after driving. Thanks for the comments. Russ

Thanks, I worked on it last night. Got the driver side together and now going to start the pass side. Sometimes I find if I take a break and walk off, coming back fresh helps.

thank you, I ordered the boosted firebird antenna just now. my wife asks for almost nothing so im glad to get her radio working properly. thanks for the tips. Russ

Haha thats great

Maybe its been asked before, but why arent there any ratrods that are capable of being top dog on such shows as STREET OUTLAWS.

Nice job.! I always thought the Mad Max car was real bad ass. do you have a working blower ? I was always sad I think it was the second film where he crashed the car when it's completely destroyed. maybe they didn't actually wreck the hero car. Enjoy yours I'm sure you're going to get a lot of...

Thanks for the replies, I think a rear window from a different year or model was used. Looks nice, but when I pulled off the molding to see if the antenna was disconnected, it was but there's nowhere to connect it to the new piece of glass. car was off the road for about a year.( long story). so...

Hello, way off topic, but maybe an audiophile can help. Wifes 2004 camry. Rear glass was replaced, shop installed aftermarket window, now radio doesnt get reception. (This was 1 year ago, car now back on road). I added a schoeshe on window antenna, reception only slightly better. Does anyone...

Thank you Gentlemen. i need to finish repair on my comutemobile ,to free up garage space. Ive never been a fan of the 58 t birds, but this is to make some dollars.the t bird is the choice then. The plymouths can wait. They have sat in the same garage for near 20 years. Wow gasser would be...

Hello, Kicking around a possible purchase (s) to make some money, to generate money for my own projects.. posting here, not sure the right place. what do you guys think. 1958 thunderbird, runs drives, many systems repaired, needs paint,352 v-8, 500 dollars. Second choice, two (2) 56 plymouth...

Yeah, Awful show. Reminds me of the now gone "Hard parts Bronx". If anyone actually ran a shop like is portrayed, i dont think there would be any profit.. Also lately, im not digging what i see on fast n loud. It seems all too often they are just making something work, rather than pride in the...

Hey there Anyone have a proven econobox formula? I live out in the sticks, but make a high mile trek each day to the city. Have been running Saturns for years now, as they are cheap, easy to maintain, and return 35mpg. The supply will slowly disappear, at least for the cheap low mileage beaters...

hello, I am looking for

Yes yes, This is making sense. Car is now in a garage/ work space. Going to order inclometer, and start fresh. Thanks for all the replies. Will post asap Russ

Okay, Im getting somewhere. I installed a spacer at the transmission crossmember. made the vibration worse. going to pull out the blocks and see what happens. Timing is bad on this I'm moving up on Tuesday. just want to get it quieted down until I can get a inclino meter, like I should have done...

Hi I believe that as the rear went up into the body, that the angle of the universal joint increased. If this is true, then raising the tail of the transmission slightly uphill should counter that.Thats what i will find out when i drive the car saturday. I believe that the angles were marginal...

Excellent. Thanks for the responce. Rear end is rebuilt., driveshaft gone through maybe 1 year ago. Im thinking the vibration must have always been there, but now with tbe gear change, it is present right at cruise speed. Im going to make prescribed changes, then will follow up post Russ
