    Dash Paint Type

    Some good advice on here, I used to be a paint matcher at Sherwin Williams automotive, when you find your desired paint if from a local paint store, they can add flattening to any color you choose in any amount and do spray outs until you reach the desired effect. I've painted many a 40's dash...

    Rear end upgrade for 59 Dodge CRL Questions

    Made a deal on the E body rear, guy was honest, everything he said it was, usually you can't trust a Camaro guy but he was legitimate It turns but very tight, been just sitting out in his yard for years.

    Rear end upgrade for 59 Dodge CRL Questions

    Thanks, that helps, follow up question not answered there: was the sure grip available for ALL of those gear ratios? Are there castings that are more likely to have the sure grip than others? I would guess later castings with lower gears would be more likely to contain the sure grip as the...

    Rear end upgrade for 59 Dodge CRL Questions

    I've been told to look for a 65-69 C body rear with 46" spring perches, my questions are, can you get a highway gear, something like a 2.90 in a sure grip?
