[dakota digital install questions]

ahh ok thanks, that's what I ended up doing last night and got it working

[dakota digital install questions]

you ran a separate ground from the tank to the hdx box or grounded it to the chassis? and did you use the original wires from the gauge harness or did u pick up the signals from else where?

thanks bro

[dakota digital install questions]

hey guys, so I'm installing this Dakota digital hdx dash and I'm kinda confused. I have a 72 a/c car withstock gauge cluster with idiot light. My question is when hooking up the fuel gauge can I just take the pink wires that went through the original cluster, pull them out the cluster plug and route them to the digital box? and can I take from the same plug, the blue wires for the turn signals and run those to the digital turn signals?

I was just thinking of this last week, thanks for posting.

I wasn't able to find any info about cross member fitment-you've answered that.

I'm curious, what's the difference between the stock and GV specific crossmember/

Will a stock crossmember work?

yes a stock cross member will work..i installed a gv on my 72 monte behind a th350/350 combo and used the stock cross member

 

[At a crossroads, need some opinions!]

i deleted all the chrome trim down the side and used Nova side marker lights and switched my door handles as well..just minor touches to make it my own car..wish i could post pics here . im gonna keep the chrome trim around the windows tho...

[NEW ROOF]

yeah its striaght forward but if the front support brace is rusted out you will have to fab that cuz those arent reproduced or u could find a donar car and chop the top off

[NEW ROOF]

yes a chevelle roof skin will work

if you don't cut the roof skeleton and just remove the skin you don't have to worry about anything sagging

I think AMD is the only company that makes the roof skin.

[Body Off Frame without Hoist]

i used two engine hoists to take it off

[C4 parts swap]

swapping in that rear end will be more trouble than its worth...its too narrow..build your 12 bolt..it will be cheaper than getting that one in your car

[Interior Spray Paint rattle can???]

yes you will need to clean prep and prime before painting for best results...but really..u probally could get away with a good cleaning and some adhesion promoter sprayed on first....

[Interior Spray Paint rattle can???]

sem makes the paint your looking for and NPD sells it

[series 2 to series 3]

yeah i feel that...i also did the disk bake swap while the rear end was out..eaisest time to do it

[PUI vs. Legendary seat covers]

went to legendarys website and they dont have the rear seat cover in dark saddle..smh

[series 2 to series 3]

yeah get all your parts and let the shop put it together for you..then u just bring it home and put it back in the car...i also went with a rebuild kit, 343 gears from yukon and a tru trac posi unit with 33 spline axles. If i were you, i would also replace the axles...u dont wanna start playing with your new posi unit on those 45 year old axles.....ijs

[Roof questions]

use a scraper to scrape that stuff off..its just insullation

[Front Fender Things]

nope they dont reproduce those

[Seatbeltsplus.com Anyone order these, seem like a good value.]

has any one use these with after market or different bucket seats? im reviving an old post!!!!

[17" Rally Wheels]

there are no 17" trim rings...most of the bigger rally rims come with the edge of the outter lip chrome polished,,,

[Interior project snowballing.... questions about rusty floor]

you are in the same situation i waS IN WITH MY 72. my 72 taught me how to weld....my advice would be to save up some money and get you a decient mig welder. i got the one from eastwood and love it. then once you have a welder..find a scrap yard near you and go get some 20 gauge scrap and practice welding on it...scrap is usually free..welding is easy once you learn the basics. you can do it. i had never welded before i started restoring this car..i learned and welded on a new roof panel..new trunk floors..a few patches in the floors like you have, the cowl shoulders and two fender patches....saved alot of money doing it my self and learned a new skill.

 

oh yeah..as stated before...dont use flux core...get some gas and mig wire.....go for it

[Radiator Replacement Input]

I run a champion unit in my car..sbc 350 and have had no issues since ive had it..almost 4 years

[Bucket Seat floor brackets]

you have studs in your floor to mount a bench seat..my 72 just had holes in the floor threadded on the bottom and were held down with bolts.....interesting

[Non AC in AC car]

thats what i did just use the ac delete cover and either delete the two rubber hoses or keep the connected to the heater core. much easier that way

[383 stroker vs 454 big block or turbo??]

[Twin Turbo "aspirations"]
