My car had body caulk on it when I took the tail light panel off, and I reapplied 3M strip caulk when I put it all back together. I believe it's only function was to reduce vibration which would've cracked the fiberglass over time. Steve

This is a good time to remember one of our own who is no longer with us. Jay passed away several years ago. Steve

When I repaired mine, I either soldered it with a torch or mig welded with low current. Sorry, but it's been so long ago, I don't remember which method I used. It would've been one of them though, not that it helps very much. Steve

I've heard of problems with a Panhard bar if it's mounted on the wrong side, but not a rear sway bar. Steve

I don't know if I will be able to make it or not. There are big changes going on at work and I can't predict that far in the future. I may not even get any rafting in this year. Steve

I like the idea, but being a cheap SOB, I might do some measuring and see if I can find a factory unit that'll fit, or come close enough that a little modification will make it fit, in the '69 Fairlane. Steve

Well I guess it all depends on your definition of "normal/average" driving. :wink: Steve

LOL. I looked to see if the data on my car was correct and couldn't find it. I could have sworn that I submitted it years ago. Then I noticed that all the cars were "C" code and the light went on. Scrolled down a little further and there it was! Thank you Jon, for once again going the extra mile...

If you install a larger sway bar on the front, I'd put one on the rear as well. It will balance out the package better. Steve

Merry Christmas everyone! Steve

I can't wait until you have it ready for 1970. I have a '70 XR7 that needs one. Steve

Happy Birthday from me as well. Steve

Tim, I've been gone for a few days (well about a week or so actually) but wanted to wish you a belated Happy Birthday. You're one of the best. Steve

Congrat's Neil. Hope you have a safe trip. Steve

I think if the U-Joint blew apart, it would've beat up the metal. This is just a guess, but back in the late 70's/early 80's, there were aftermarket cruise control units that had magnets that mounted to the driveline with baling wire to create a field for a pickup coil. If it came loose, it...

Very nice job on the car, Neil. Is your friend interested in making more emblems? Steve

Happy birthday kiddo! Hope it was a good one. Dad

Hey Rob, that's the same unit I have in my shop. Good choice! Steve

I would also ask the shop that changed the fluid what kind they put in it. If it just started after the fluid change, maybe they put in the wrong type. There's a reason there are different ones. Steve

LOL! I was wondering if you'd remember. It's been a rough year, but I'm still kicking. Allow me to be the first to invite you to check out the thread about a possible get together in Grass Valley next year. I'd be great to finally meet up. Steve
