Re: Floyd Brothers 70 Challenger

Can still be done, you just have to build up a bit of weld before you drop the nut on. The trouble with drilling it out is unless you can get the broken bit out, you'll be lucky to re tap it square.

Re: Floyd Brothers 70 Challenger

Just choose a nut that will drop over the stud, fill the middle in with weld, let it cool/heat soak for a couple of mins, wind it out. Drill it out as a last resort.

Re: Floyd Brothers 70 Challenger

I’ve got to say I’ve never had that happen, they usually strip the thread out of the intake before that happens. A nut carefully welded over that will get it out.

Re: 69 Plymouth B body quarter skins - AMD only?

AMD are the best quality for sure, sometimes even their stuff needs work to fit. They have been discontinuing repair panels for some time now so their full quarter panels might be your only choice. Sheet metal from all the suppliers goes out of stock for months on end, that was happening even pre pa...

Re: Bryan's 62 Plymouth

There’s normally some kind of pad between the tank and the floor, you could make your own from anything that has a bit of give in it to be honest.

Re: Fuel tank

I’ve had fuel tanks made before, last one was about £450 six years ago, in no way cheaper than buying a stock replacement.

Re: Bryan's 62 Plymouth

Probably your best bet, a new tank won’t cost fortunes through Chris, it would be my preferred option. There’s certainly been some choice “workmanship” on that car!

Re: Bryan's 62 Plymouth

Can you not just leave the redundant sender in the tank as a plug? You won’t find many people willing to put heat on a fuel tank.

Re: A tall tale?

A good friend of Colin’s brought the cars from the Chapel in Lincolnshire to Hertford to store safely while his estate was sorted out. I was told one person had bought all the cars, they are still “local” and have been stashed away again. This was a couple of years ago now and I’ve heard nothing sin...
