He's just finished watching 8 hours of the Barrett Jackson auction.

So does this allow the exhaust gasses in ? Is your gasket / weatherstrip flush with the metal edge all the way around ?

VIN number , man ! VIN number ! Make us drool .:classic:

Unless there is a member who is a car dealer , Will wins ! Oh , I would have left the Volvo out .....:laugh:

Be sure your deck / heads are not machined for sure , even changing a blown head gasket by a previous owner could scuttle your plans!:surprised

4 V8 vans 3 Honda motorcycles 2 Datsun z's 1 Mower 1 Stihl chainsaw 1 Weedeater 1 Br500 leafblower 1 Powerwasher 1 3000 Watt generator 1 Corvette = 70 cylinders , I'm 42 More interesting would be a reference to average horsepower per cylinder!

Mike , you have a dead Optima ? I just bought 2 red tops , and they need special care to recharge them. A low ''tender'' charge with an auto shut off seems to really work well . High amp charging will overheat them . I just googled this subject and there's lots of feedback . I'm going to buy one of those multi bank trickle chargers , to hook up 3 batteries over the winter. Does anyone have feedback on these chargers ?

Bad reports from them, lost parts to customer's restoration projects , etc. Customers removing cars from their shop !

General overall shape is now shown, although the rust on the lower fenders looks like it could be mud as well . Maybe a higher pixel shot (better camera) should be used ! Clear pics removes all questions but also reveals the work needed to restore or part out..... Your asking price might be $1500 ( MAYBE ) , not $2800 . It's really that far along the rust path , IMHO . Oh, the mileage is probably 147,000 . No way 47,000 unless it was driven in the winter for those years.

High detail , large pics ! Now I might try the trailing arms on my '73 roadster!

Notice the dual hand throttle / choke levers .

Well ?

Settle down already ! Jeepers you are so right, I don't have a leg to stand on . I obviously don't have any clue . Man you schooled me ! I guess I should have added a smiley or something. Have a nice day . Peace , O.K. ? And now I'm going to add to this as Enrique has decided, as a ''MODERATOR'' to step over the line with his big shot ways of talking down to someone . You , Enrique , deserve a shot . While you are up on your seemingly high horse , you fail to realize that you can't tell the tone by reading TYPED words . As a MODERATOR , you need to take a step back and realize others read these threads , and I was only trying to help . You have to be able to provide an inviting tone so others won't feel verbally lambasted for providing different opinions than yours ! This is an official complaint about you to those who care about this site . You have dragged this '' lost keys '' topic way off in to the bush , and you should at least right this and appologise to our members for going WAY overboard with your way of chastising others.

Easy now . At least I wasn't trying to flame someone....:classic: Any big city has it's problems , even here in sweet Victoria, but he was just talking about a freakin key being made , we're not selling a key .....

Paranoia self destroya :eek:

No , I meant the actual work takes 5 - 10 minutes. Why not be sure and get a quote from a locksmith down there ? There must be millions of cars in that city - probably 50 locksmith shops too ! At least if they come to you, your ignition wont get '' lost '' in the transaction.

Why take it out ? Leave it in, call a locksmith , he'll come to the car and fit a key to it ! Takes 5-10 minutes .

Lately the kids leave the hood black to show off the carbon fibre . The tuners spend upwards $3000 to show off a 30 lb weight savings and to have that custom look. Other legit reasons ? Dunno.

I don't know if there's a difference .

I have one for a '72, fully loaded with gauges and wiring . It's for sale . $?

I have been chasing this as well . AM radio does not improve with the stainless antenna used as far as I know ! The antenna is for FM reception. AM reception comes from an internal '' ferrous rod '' wound with a wire . Google this , and you will see tons of info on this subject .

Wow ! I used to own a 1 of 9 made 1969 Ram Air IV GTO convertible . I gave it away in trade on a shiney black 1969 Judge when I was in my early 20's . WAAAAAAAAAA.........

538 has the brow .

Hi Gab ! I'm in Victoria B.C.! Did you ever deal with Greg from the zcar club here ? And.... do you want to sell that back window ? Mine is scratched ( vin # 538 , clear hatch glass ). The red dot mirror actually has a red dot on the day / night control toggle, as does mine . You can easily confirm this .
