    "Envy" can also motivate toward "upping one's game", too.

    Hobby Upholstery shop setup and projects

    i figured out long ago that there are some things which others can do better, just have to find them. There are some things that after watching others do them, that I can do at least as well, after a few times. There are some things where particular "special tools or locations" are needed to...

    Looking to sell 1975 Cordoba for a Vet, any tips?

    LUs were on LA and B/RB motors. They were NOT on anything HD or HP. The local Chrysler tech, when I asked him about the LU situation, said "27mph" which I verified in the literature. That was on a Cordoba, I believe, with a 400 in it. "The converter locks up, the engine gets quieter", he...

    Looking to sell 1975 Cordoba for a Vet, any tips?

    For clarification, I looked at www.hamtramck-historical.com . The 1977 Dealer Order Guide stated that Electronic Spark Control (aka ELB) use had been expanded for 1977. Which would mean it was around in 1976, but not for initial production. Just on 400 and 440 normal V-8s in 1976, as I...

    Looking to sell 1975 Cordoba for a Vet, any tips?

    Thanks for the clarification. I recall that the plugs' accessibility is tighter on a B-body due to the narrower distances between the wheel wells. The rear plugs needed to be done from underneath, as it appeared back then, compared to C-body B/RB cars . . . from the way I looked at it back...

    Looking to sell 1975 Cordoba for a Vet, any tips?

    The Cordoba and Charger SE of the same year are "cousins". Same body with some differences in grille, tail lights, etc. The Charger SE had standard vinyl buckets whereas the Cordoba had leather buckets and console. Cordoba had trunk carpet and the Charger SE had a vinyl mat. Even if the two...

    Getting running again

    Back in the earlier 1980s when stainless steel braid brake lines were mentioned in some road racing magazine, I thought about getting some for one of my cars. The benefits of a more consistent pedal feel and perceived longevity were key things I was looking at. Then a friend who worked at...

    Getting running again

    Where there is a brake fluid leak, it will usually have a wetness near the bottom of the backing plate on the wheel. Or a line could have failed. Or the master cyl could be leaking into the booster, which usually will have a small trail on the booster housing under the master cyl rear mount to...

    Body acid deep

    Back in the middle 1970s, a friend wanted an old car to drive for his photography work. He found a '50 Plymouth sedan in a lady's back yard and bought it for $50.00. I helped him get it running and such. THEN we decided to paint it . . . mistake #1. He rented a commercial sand blaster to get...

    Body acid deep

    After the "dip", I hope you inspected and touched-up any body sealer seals where the sealer was lost or deteriorated . . . just for general principles. Interesting coating, too! Four door or not. I applaud you on our undertaking and look forward to how things progress. Take care, CBODY67

    1967 Plymouth Fury

    Even with the trunk floor issues, unless the front stub-frame also has issues, keep it and get it running (it'll be worth more money that way, even with the rust issues). Looks like lots of good parts there, too, provided they can be removed without damaging them. It has the markings of a...

    '66 Newport 2 Door hardtop

    I placed it at the top edge of the indentation in the trim. As thin as it is, not really noticed, except at night. Similarly, Krylon has some spray which is supposed to reflectorize what it's on. Plus some sprayu paint which will allegedly glow after the light source is removed. Found it at...

    '66 Newport 2 Door hardtop

    On the lights, did you also recondition the reflector are in the housing? Adding fresh refective silver/chrome paint. What I did, back in the 1970s when I was in college, was to take soem white reflective pin striping tape I found at an auto supply store, and put a single stripe of it on the...

    Because on our several 383s, #7 is always the one that got a burnt valve, for some reason. Thanks.
