Please do that. I'd love to see this thing in person.

thanks for the input guys. The trans tunnel is already butchered so Im already going to have to do a bit of work cleaning it up anyhow, so no worries if I have to cut a new hole. you may have had luck with cable shifter, but not me. Im done with cables.

what is everyones opinions of Lokar shifters? I have a B & M Mega shifter in my 72 Cutlass and its silly. its a cable operated ratchet shifter. I dont race the car and its an automatic. I have broken more cables then I care to remeber. No matter how or where I route the cable it ends up rubbing...

absofuginlutley not! I have customers on occasion who come in to my shop like that. I just stand there and stare at them and if need be I give them the "hang up your phone" hand jesture untill they hang up thier phone. if they expect my full attention, they need to give me their full attention...

Ditto, they should have a page or two in thier book with "conversion u joints" in it.

try tossing poly bushings and endlinks on the stock sway bar. I have done that on a few of my beaters over the years. it really tightens up the action of the sway bar. that and a better set of tires has always been money well spent.

is the filter before or after the pump? My Olds gave me troubles just as described when i had the filter before the pump. I moved it to the other side of the pump and no issues.

a hidden kill switch or a fake coil wire are very inexpensive and very effective.

I run the can under hot water before use and you need to use the hair dryer as you run the comb through. just a little heat from the blow dryer works wonders

awsome looking ride. I actually think those Keystone classics look good. Must be the gold paint. I have seen that Surf themed Crosley a couple of times. its kinda neat even though I dont really like "theme" cars all that much.

Interesting point. Im wanting to put the radiatior in the back of the truck Im planning. is it better to put it in the front portion of the box or the rear due to air flow over the cab? I dont want to put it in an area where the air just blows back around. Im just thinking of every truck I have...

were these changes a compromise or were the wheels and such "likes" and not needs? if it was a compromise then I would go for it, but if it was just some extra bling then no.

the only reason I dont like chopping that way is because it makes the look of the chop different. sometimes the top ends up looking "fat"
