Re: Matt's '68 Coronet 500

Been doing a bit more on the car . So having remembered that I'd 'borrowed' the power-to-manual steering column adaptor from the Coronet to use on the 'Cuda, I had a bit more work to do. Martin at RPM found me a pot coupler with the larger 'manual' spline in it , so just needed to get the correct le...

Re: Matt's '68 Coronet 500

Got a bit more done this weekend. Re- plumbed the fuel system using ally tube up to the repositioned regulator . Will support the tube well to eliminate possible flexing and cracking.

Re: Swapping engine mounts

Remove long bolt holding mount to front subframe/K member. Loosen the one on the other side. Flat piece of wood under one side of the sump (or , with care, vertically up onto the sump rail) jack it up an inch or so (remove fan shroud first) You can then undo and wiggle the mount out. Might have to r...

Re: Matt's 1970 'Trans-Am' Cuda

Sadly the Thruxton date will not be going ahead, as not enough entries were received. It wasn't far off happening though. There's a plan to try and organise another race in the Spring, possibly at Donington. That's a shame. Will you be racing anywhere else this year? Swinging sixties maybe? My frie...

Re: Suppliers/Vendors of Body Panels

Whilst AMD are the go-to for quality panels (and I think they can all be ordered through Summit), Goodmark panels may be available through RockAuto . I bought several Goodmark panels from Rockauto for the 'Cuda, including rear trunk drop downs, and the torsion bar crossmember. THe quality and fit of...
