Re: Not a Mopar, but I like it!

Nice looking truck. Think that might be the way i go after my duster. Looking either for a C10 or d100. Those 70s trucks, just look so cool and are just as "muscle" as any car

Re: Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. But ......

Personally wouldnt do it with mine, or any other iconic mopar to be honest, however i do remember seeing an electric drag car, i think it was an old datsun, called the white zombie, very fast and pretty cool. Not against electric cars, but i do think a muscle car is more than just the looks

Re: Orange 72 Duster

I Think this was one of the two orange dusters that were at brooklands back in may, and i think i saw pictures of it at the brooklands american day in june/july. I Would imagine he is local to london. Sounds very cool

Best event this year for me. Great people and a massive amount of cars I've not seen before. Weather was a bit naff compared to every other HRDs event I've been too, but can't really blame the track for that. Its an event that is gaining in popularity every year. The atmosphere was very good, had a...

How easy is this kit to fit? Can it be done by an amateur or is it more a job for my local guy? I Guess i could always go this route, see if i like it, and if i do decide down the road to go with a floor shift, i guess its fairly easy to install on top of this?

Might give that a thought miles. Looks fairly cheap in comparison to the new shifter, although it might change how i feel about the column, i still think the floor shifter is the way to go for me.

cheers guys. Might look at other options then for a shifter. Shame as i really like the look of the pro matic, looks a bit more "period" correct than the turbo action, which looks more like it belongs in a fighter jet. Good to know miles, will probably get that plate out soon. Any special ...

Chris, I posted a while back on replacing ignition switch and also removed the teeming lock. To do that, there is a hidden pin which has to be punched out to removed the saw thingy/steering lock. It has a mild steel plate wrapped over it. Easy to do. Cheers Miles, thought it was that. Pretty much g...

cheers guys for the advice. With the old column shift, is it just easier (and cheaper) to just disconnect and remove the old linkages and just leave the old coumn as is. Is it also easier to get the car on a lift or can it be done up on jackstands? Also with the steering lock is that just removing t...

column to floor shift questions?

Hi guys, hopefully some of you can give some insight into converting a column to a floor shift. Still dont know if i will actually do it, but i am toying with the idea of changing my car from column to floor. Just wondering how feasable it actually is. I have my eye on a nice looking Hurst promatic ...
