    Ole Red is up and running. I am so tired of working on him that I hope I never have wrench on him again. Still some tweaking to do but we are close to being road worthy again. I’ve tried to up load the video I made but it keeps giving me a 200 error code so I am guessing it is to big of a file
  2. Are the brackets sand blasted or in primer which ever they look goot
  3. If Dennis does not have the speaker brackets I got mine from Leo Konick
  4. I have the Holley Sniper on my 350 small block and love it once we got it dialed in after some fouling of the O2 sensor from bad valve seals, new aluminum heads are going to help. Compression should be in the neighbor of 9.3 to 1 so 87 pump gas should be fine according to the local engine gurus. The ProMaxx heads are a 72cc chamber with a 185 runner old stock heads were 76cc and 180 runner. This should give a very nice cruiser setup
  5. I must be a gluten for punishment I finished up my 3rd cut a week ago and it needs it again. My rain gauge is only showing about .7" of liquid snow and I have not emptied it in the last week. Maybe tomorrow afternoon I can fire up the trusty Kubota and get my fourth in. Meanwhile I have gotten the headers bolted up but ran into a snag putting the ac bracket over the headers. I took it off OK but one of the brackets must have shrunk because I cannot get the front bolt into the head it is setting about an 1/8" low ??? do not know why because it came off very easily unless the head is taller but everything else has lined up perfectly. Oh well I needed a break anyhow.
  6. I can testify to that in the last 6 weeks
  7. I got a aftermarket dash from the parts place and the wood grain holes that go into the dash pad did not matchup with the holes in the dash
  8. my 70 came with Uniroyal G70 15's. At that time Uniroyal was not noted for having very good tires but between me and my buddy who bought the car off of me we 45,000 miles out of em
  9. Back to Aaron's wheels. I personally like them better than the Rally's

    It is coming together slowly but surely. All of the holes for the temp gauges and headers are a different size so many trips to the hardware store is slowing me as i get frustrated and then discouraged so keep taking breaks lol.

    oil leak

    That is what I first thought of Bruce but after pulling the balancer off there is no groove. On the axle I had to do the same on one of my cars several years ago
