  1. Confused

    well, I guess that's the difference, this cost me 12k, but he only had to do the outside of the car, no under the car, no engine compartment, no trunk.
    look at these pics, dent, no paint on extensions, hood corner burnt with a wheel as well as unpainted edge, I can go on and on.

    well, that's the funny part, I paid for half upfront plus materials, then a few weeks ago gave me a sob story and asked if I could square up with him.
    I knew at that point that now that he's paid, he won't give a crap. What is the going rate on paint jobs these days?

    i wish i could say the same, so many shortcuts he took drive me crazy. So many unpainted edges, even panted over some small dents that when i pointed it out he told me im nitpicking.

    newstang got a reaction from Grabber70Mach in Lower Radiator hose spring   
    I dont know why none of the hoses come without a spring in the hose anymore. 
    the rubber is no stronger and probably softer than before, so i doubt technology will be there for us when it collapses and overheats.
    So in case you cant find one ( like me) here is how i made mine in 2 min.
     
    3/32 stainless steel tig wire
    1" black pipe and vise grips/
    Problem solved!
    Pics are out of order, but you get the point,

    you get rid of all of it. cap off any wires coming from the ignition switch that go to the stator.
    yellow wire to bat terminal on alt, white wire goes to single terminal on top of alt, green wire really not used but goes to "Alt" dash light.
    of course, run the 4ga battery cable to the battery.

  23. Thanks

    Its on its feet today!.
    I put it up on the lift and the clearance of the exhaust to the block/ bellhousing is closer than i thought.
    This is the 3rd set of different headers to have this issue.
    I may have to cut off an angle of the block or anyone else run into this crap?
    Or-- what are the the thoughts of adding a spacer between the block and manifold to bring it out a 1/2"
