    Has anyone ever won a car show with their C body?

    For a car show with knowledgeable judges I'm not original enough and in the custom classes I'm not custom/nice enough. Only real hope are the "top 20" type show which I have won before but being a black convertible helps get you noticed. I did get a kids choice award which was Many Mo and Jack...

    Front Dash Speaker Recommendation(s)

    Looking at Retrosound to get the specs looks like shallow mount 3.5 and 6x9. All 4ohm. 6x9 depth is only 1.9"(48mm) and 3.5 is only 1.1"(28mm) Limited depth is the issue otherwise a ton of 4ohm 3.5 out there at better than retrosound prices. I would verify your depths first. Sometimes they are...

    H5001/H5006 Headlight Upgrades/Conversions

    They came with H4 halogens (H1 for high), all glass, and are plug and play. After reading I figured they were better than the cheaper chinese ones but less expensive than the german ones. It was a few years ago so I'm sure they are other options now. The only issue I had was there are 3 little...

    H5001/H5006 Headlight Upgrades/Conversions

    Yikes, I'm now hesitant to reply but I have the Autopal H5006 and 5001 that I got from Carlisle awhile ago. These are from India. I just added these LEDs - H4 and H1. They are smaller than others and fit fine although you will need to make a hole in the rubber cup. They need that to dissipate...

    Want to wake up my 73 Newport Custom

    I think sometimes a local trans rebuild place will have a guy that does rears. Or at least "knows a guy". If you go that route at least u will saving shipping.

    Want to wake up my 73 Newport Custom

    i looked around Maryland for a long time for a 3.55 Sure grip. Found some but all had to be rebuilt or if they were in better condition had shorter gears. Exactly like my 2.76 that I removed! I did find some on ebay but the price was not far from a complete build. So that is what i did, got one...

    Want to wake up my 73 Newport Custom

    Check out this an other calculators to get an idea of what the result of changes will be. The good news is there is no shortage of opinions on all the *body sites. Just search for a gear ratio and a ton of things pop up. I have a rear tire 2" taller than yours (29" total) and absolutely had to...
