Re: My 73 Barracuda build

if the contact is 'only just' you could drill the new front spring hangers further forward, drill the axle mounts spring locator holes forward and either try the shackle mount as is or again move the rear spring/chassis mount forward. basically you'd move the leaf springs/shackles forward in the car...

Re: Floyd Brothers 70 Challenger

you may already know this but a tip for painting engine bays that aren't completely stripped is to cover wires, cables etc with baco foil not tape. easy to apply and scrunch tight to whatever and more importantly it comes off just as easy. anyone who's had to unmask the above parts that are wrapped ...

Re: Blue's Barracuda

if you have a friend with a us address why not forward the money to them so they can order it for you and just pass on whatever the postage costs are to you. at least someone in the us is dealing with the supplier that way.

Re: Johnny's Dart repairs

i don't have a 'smart' phone but i've read about this issue on other forums. i'm assuming you took the pics with your phone so you may hold your phone any way up and they will still show on your phone's screen correctly. however when transferred they show in the orientation that they were taken, so ...

Re: Fifty shades of Jade

i just knew as i was typing that you'd already thought of everything possible, lol. agreed, that looks like a good plan. aesthetics play a big part provided functionality isn't compromised and of course it's not. one of if not the most thought out and planned builds i've read, car or bike. :thumbrig...
