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
i'm sure someone like ray of rays classic cars https://raysclassiccars.com/ would do it for you. he's an english guy who moved to the us 40+ years ago, he advertises in all the american/custom mags here. very nice guy and he could probably put it in a vehicle he's sending to the uk for you. it's def...

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: What do you do to a pressed steel sump?

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 ...
