    Tacoma/Seattle Visit

    Bill, thanks for the info. I have heard they put cars up for sale once a year. If they are open in October, I am going to have to stop by and check it out. I have used griots products for years. Love their speed shine. I drove by it on a Saturday, right after they had closed. david

    1968 Shock Tower Notch Kit/ Rack & Pinion Help

    Here are a couple of pics from one side that I had laying around. I do think the conversion headers make a difference and eliminate the need for modifications. Only problem I have with them is that one of the tubes, on each side, is detachable and fits into a sleeve. They are supposed to...

    1968 Shock Tower Notch Kit/ Rack & Pinion Help

    I am running a 351W with aluminum heads and Hooker Super Comp headers (specially designed for a 351W conversion). Clearance is not an issue, plenty of room. Changing spark plugs is no problem at all. If you had a 65 or 66, I could see a potential problem with a 351W. Maybe it works so well...

    While these are the same covers I have, I do not believe they are correct. Aren't the correct ones the ones with the round white circle? david

    Tacoma/Seattle Visit

    It was a really busy few days. Hopefully we can get together in October, that would be nice. We did have lunch in Gig Harbor, saw the signs to Bremerton. Was thinking of you all. Is it worth visiting the LeMay Museum or even the new Griot's HQ? david

    1968 How much should I offer?

    In this market, I would say not worth very much. Many people underestimate restoration costs. Sounds like you have some past experience, so you are probably aware. Paint, Interior, Engine rebuilt will run you at a minimun $15K and could go much, much higher. Little things like brakes will...

    Just got back from Tacoma dropping off my son at college. Wish it could have been a few weeks earlier, would have loved being at the MCA show and BBQ at Rob's. My wife and I were in town for about 4 days. Very busy shopping and getting him settled in the dorms. We did get some time to check...

    1968 4300 Carburetor

    Question - I see these numbers on the tag, but I don't see anything on the actual Carb. Did I miss them? Is there an easy way to identify the carb (i.e. maybe wrong tag, or missing tag). thanks david

    Wondering why so little interest? Lots of "looksies" but only a handful of calls. Someone told me I shouldn't have mentioned the rust blisters in the posting. As a member of this site and with the possibility of someone from this site buying ther car, I want to be as honest about this cars...
