  1. Anyone using billet hinges that they would recommend?
  2. Kicking around the idea of going back to my old Quadra-Jet and don't trust myself enough to give it a proper rebuild. Can any of you recommend a good place to send it off to be rebuilt?
  3. Bumping for future internet travelers on the subject of the NK4 wheel. The key I've found to making this kit work is the spring. The one supplied with the kit is too short. I went to Lowes and bought a 3 dollar bag of springs, cut a little off one and it worked like a charm.
  4. Added a NK4 steering wheel. Have to get a more suitable spring for the horn to work though.
  5. I have a 200r4 in my 72 from a 1985 Monte Carlo SS married up to a 12 bolt posi with 3:31 gears. Cruises st 1900 - 2000 rpms at 70 mph. Wonderful transmission.
  6. So the last set of Diamond Back tires turned out to be hockey pucks so I tried these radials made by Kelsey Tire. I am really pleased with the look and ride of these!
  7. Can more knowledgeable members confirm that this is the correct size/bolt pattern/backspacing for a 1972 Monte?
  8. My 72, I've owned for 26 years. My 85 SS for 10 years this past June.
  9. I have my 72 valued at 25k...with the prices of Monte's going off the charts recently I'm wondering if I should up mine too.
  10. Oh man, I love building NASCAR stock cars and slot cars. Great looking builds man!
  11. I have a 200r4 and 3:31 with a 12 bolt rear end. RPMs are at about 2k at 70 mph. Good highway cruising setup.
  12. Co-sign on the 3rd gen Camaro coolant bottle. Thats what I used and it fits on the inner fender quite well.
  13. My 72 originally had the 1971 Roman numerals on the trunk emblem. Probably left over stock from 1971 as mine was an early 72 build.

    72 spare tire

    I actually did know that, but I used to build for General/Continental Tire so I have some insider knowledge. 😆

    Hi Bruce, would you mind measuring the width of that white wall and also the width of the space from the wheel to the whitewall? I wouldn't mind having those measurements when having my next set of tires made.
  17. Part number is the decal on the box in the pic below. Hard to take "good" pics of seatbelts but here you go!
  18. I installed the modern shoulder belt set from https://www.morrisclassic.com/ . Fantastic set, great quality and a direct bolt in. Well worth the money.
  19. Door pulls from Legendary Interiors finally got here. Look like a dead match for the originals. Nice kit, expensive but nice.
  20. They are Milestar and yes the WSW are bonded. Happy with the ride. They weren't cheap, right at 1200 shipped.
  21. I ended up going with the Diamond Back 3/8 inch whitewall. Took me a while to get used to whitewalls again after 25 years of running white letters but I've grown quite fond of them.
