    Free, you pick up.

    I could use the glass out of the door. I'm in PHX but my son might go to Escondido next month. If you still have the door/ glass, I'll take it. Obviously first come, first served. Id just hate to see you scrap it if nobody else wants it.

    Who sells the best replacement gas tank

    A little bit more expensive but I like tanks inc for replacement tanks. They come powder coated. For custom tanks, I typically like Ricks.

    whats every body using.. looking for a new stereo head unit

    Well, I could use some advice for my 90 Crew...I just want it clear sounding and simple. My thoughts: Retro 1.5 din in dash. No cutting needed since it's a 90 6x9's in rear corners. 5" or 4x6 in each door(4 total) 3.5 in front corners 1-2 of those self powered retro sound subs under rear...

    Auto wiper lifters to save edge

    Yes, but if you notice the angle of the "tail" of the twist tie, it is placed in a drag position thereby creating down force much like a spoiler. This feature allows increased pressure on the blade for a superior wipe.

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    I might be wrong but don't think the second bulletin that Aurora posted has anything to do with Trailer Brake Controllers and is referring to an aftermarket part that was sold in the early to mid 90's. A few companies in the 90's manufactured a mechanical ABS. I don't remember much about them...

    Auto wiper lifters to save edge

    I knew an old guy that did stuff like this. While we don't understand or "get it", I can tell you the guy was a genius and worked for NASA. He was an airflow engineer and also helped design some of the cylinder heads we have on our cars. But that was just one guy, the rest of the people I've...

    Drip Rail Sealant

    You can buy a tape from 3m for this purpose. Should be available at any body supply. They offer it in multiple thicknesses and widths. You want the thinnest and also narrower than the trim as it expands when crushed during install. Apply it to the drip rail at the top edge so it expands cleanly...

    Hydroboost - Hard Pedal

    Just to verify...you did the swap or it was already on and previously working fine? Do you have the pushrod going to the correct location on the pedal? It is different than a vacuum booster and you sometimes have to drill the pedal if it doesn't have the correct hole.

    1964 Chevy ll ls1/t56 swap

    These pictures are close to 10 years old. I've had the car since '93. 3 different paint jobs, 4(?) different suspensions, etc.

    1964 Chevy ll ls1/t56 swap

    I forgot that they did bead roll the sheet metal so pretty similar to the fab quest.

    1964 Chevy ll ls1/t56 swap

    My 63 SS is mini tubbed to fit a 355. The shop just used a strip of metal. Nothing fancy and looks good. Was going to use the DSE tubs but I think they only fit 275 iirc. Best Nova resource is stevesnovasite.com

    Twitchy steering with a big travel trailer (rear sway bar help?)

    I'm staying out of the steering, tire, twitch discussion as I don't believe a sway bar would address the issue at all. But I have added rear sway bars on a few trucks and definitely helped in wind especially when equipped with camper shells. Our HHR SS was horrible in the wind; added a small...

    Spray booth??

    I plan to buy one, possibly from Vevor. I plan to build a temporary PVC frame when it's inflated just in case power goes out as I've heard a few horror stories about them collapsing on fresh paint.

    rivettes

    I bought some on eBay a few years back. I think they were around $10-15 each and fit/ matched perfect to originals. No filing needed.
