I used the big block of wood just on the back floor brace first then I did
the front floor brace. The balance point of the body is in front of the back
tires up further from were I have the 4 X 4.

Hey Phil,
If you want the same size all around, I would go with a 215 65 15 or a 225 70 15. 235
75 15 is too big for the front, it will rub on turns.

Hi everyone: Most of us are probably using 60 series and 70 series size tires. The radial redlines I want are made by Coker and come in the taller 75 series which also has less tread width. Does anyone know what the largest is that will fit a 65 in front or will the taller tires give me clearanc
Oh it certainly does matter,,NASCAR boys discovered,,store a crank
horizontally,,you now have a non-straight crank,,store it VERTICALLY,,hang

I was told to use the 70 series with a Big Block myself by the Vice
President of Sales. If you look close enough, the 70 Series said they were
made for a big block. The others don't.
I wasn't given a reason on why, but I suspected it had a lot to do with the
extra flow capacity of the 70's. Those
I was told, by flowmaster, that the 40-series mufflers were not recommended
for big blocks because the tend to pop. Are you running 40s on a big block?

Dave,
How did you raise the body off the frame enough to slip the 4 X 4's between
the frame and the body? Also with the 4 X 4 just in front of the rear
wheel well, I'm wondering how much balance there was - a little weight on
the front 4 X 4 or adequate as to keep the body from tipping off
Anyone have lapbelts for sale? Black for a 72 Chevelle? Thanks

Thanks but someone tried to break in the box and cracked the black plastic next to the key so I would need the whole thing. Thanks

The
best way to transfer freon is with a reclaimer pump. Put the tank that you'll be
putting all the freon in ice. It will take the freon faster than trying to pump
against higher pressures. A freon recycling,recovery machine is needed.

I think you mean 'Mr Gas'. They make a cool 'X' pipe kit that was all

'My Gas' is funnier though.

I like to only replace one panel at a time.. it minimizes the

Cool, thanks guys.

I use to store my crank vertically due to space, it doesnt really
matter as long as you dont scratch the bearing surfaces.
Keep it oily to prevent rust.
If you manage to distort a crank by laying it on the floor you dont
want it in your motor.

My originial SS buckets were trashed, so I installed seats from a 80s Buick.
I really like the electric controls. My only complaint is that they are a
little too high. The motor gear finally gave out, and I am considering
finding other seats, possibly a power type. Any suggestions or
observation

Charles, You need to find a good used valance and the two filler panels.
That is what you show in your pics. All of the chrome parts are available as
