    '79 Camaro Restomod

    you aint using those nice chrome headers? pretty sure how that line is is how it's routed factory I got the TA ones around here somewhere. Also I figured that core leaked and ruined that floor. I know after I put headers on it and ran it I kept getting coolant dripped on my face from it.

    '79 Camaro Restomod

    you know you can unbolt the fitting from the back of any power steering pump and put that flkared fitting into it then use stock flare fitting lines. I did that on the s10. I should actually have that stock flared fitting here. I would think a man could go to rockauto and get stock 79 and older...

    chassis saver vs epoxy primer and rattle can on new metal.

    Ok guys I've been sanding new panels(rockers and cab corners inner and outer) and applying chassis saver on them in the areas you'll not get to again once installed to avoid future rust as much as possible. Well I'm out of chassis saver, and it'll be a week or so before I can get some... sooo...

    What is the worst body work you've seen or done?

    We've done all of the above... we've used spray foam in cans to fill bedsides wheel arches on an s10 then filler over it only. we've slapped fiberglass/duraglass and filler into rust holes bigger then your fist. we've slapped on some roof flashing with rivets and then used filler over the...

    Diesel Brothers build a Square for Wet Sounds

    I missed the first part of it where they got the blazer and did it but I caught the 2nd part. I liked that they went from 80s clip to round eyes.

    Steering gear support

    If you know yours aint broke now bolt on I would strongly suggest you remove the box and check. I had to sand the frame on my 83 to find it but we've had 2wds broke there.

    Steering gear support

    The bolt on is meant for ones without any cracks, if you have cracks those have to be fixed, and most likely use the weld on plate. I plan to do both. I kow mines cracked, has been welded, needs some more work on the outside, so I got the smittybuilt plate to weld on. Once done I was going to...

    Lift Kit ID Question

    teap they vary wildly. I let one go front end for 75 it needed work. I've also seen them as much as 350 and unknown gears for one only. As for the u bolts thing yes you aint supposed to reuse them but some don't care. it'd also be better to have used to mock it up then have none. I agree a...

    Lift Kit ID Question

    I think I would attempt to sell whole or just part out. I know alot of people like myself would want the lift to install in a truck or blazer they already have. I also know some guys might need axles just depends on the gear ratios. I had an old 4 inch kit off another truck years back and...

    New Tooling 73-78 Stock hood

    dang 400? I can buy a cowl hood for that price here locally. I do see they keep claiming better tooling thicker metal on fenders and such. Maybe I should wait? but I can't afford to pay double for the parts honestly
