I believe there is a screw holding ends

I bought some from National Parts Depot

It is nice to see a message like that.I know when i was doing my 69 if it wasnt for people on the forums I wouldn't have been able to do as much as i did,So good job and keep up the good answers. Thats what makes these forums great people helping people

Nice ride and welcome to a world of knowledge it sure helped me a lot being on here

If they are the ones I'm thinking of they are a cast and will break if any undo hammering or pressure.I know its a pain but the fits are not the best,thats where the body work comes in.With new paint only you have the answer good luck.

If the holes are out of round where the pin goes easier to replace hinge because drilling them ,out unless you have a drill press to hold centered is dam near impossible.How do I know just say been there done that.New ones work fine.

Much appreciated

I was reading your write up with interest as most people would on this forum.I would like to know if there is some place around you that sells the cunifer brake line as the finish layout around the contours of the rearend was what I was looking for when I used stainless but could not achieve.I live across the border in Sarnia so if you could direct me there or even a web site would be much appreciated.Keep up the good work

Adjustments are on top of gearbox under the brake master cylinder.I would goggle the procedure there are some good write ups Don't over tighten because it will cause problems as well.There will be some play even when done its not like our new ones which are pretty tight.You can do it

I don't know you but anyone on this site is usualy ok so good luck to you

always new the forum was special a guy needs help with measurements wam there they are even if across the pond

looking at the work your doing that baby will be awsome

looks good and now the fun begins enjoy

My question is on my 351w I have a 4 blade fan but would like more cooling in the city.Would I benifit by going to a 5 or 6 blade fan or look at electric fans for more cooling.I dont have a cooling issue yet but hate watching the temp gauge crawl up when in the city stop and go traffic Thanks for any comments John

I never made any plans or photos of it since it was only an idea in my head and wasnt sure how it would turn out.But if you want any suggestions or info on doing one give me a holler.The cost of it was approx 150 dollars and no special tools The only reason I did one was the oringinal was 700 dollars and no cup holders.The after market nice but not the look I wanted

The console was a home grown effort not yet finished but close.Thanks for the comments folks

I know its a Grande but in the family since day 1 History is father inlaw made me pay him 100 dollars for it in 79 can you believe that . Just kidding of course.Drove it for 3 years then the little buggers came along.Parked it till 2007.thats when the big buggers left.After 4 years of trial and error doing bodywork and painting, engine work and interior as well its finally driveable still have to finish the console and tweeks here and there,But what a feeling because I took a lot of flack from people saying Iwas crazy and would never be able to do it HA.So for those who are leary of taking the step it can be done not easy but in the end you will know your car inside and out. s

Im nearing my 69 grande restoration and putting tires on going with 235 60 15 if no rubbing should not be any my question is what do you think witewall side with crager chrome rims or just black I have looked at pictures and more pictures and both look good .Any real voices to add to my confusion would be appreciated. I haved posted much because this is all new to me but the help from these forums is so much appreciated even if folks dont say so. keep up the good work and some day we may have something usefull to say also

i also had a hard time with new clips and clips pulling out and coming apart made it extremly hard to line with bucket lines my solution was to use old clips and add an extra one to make 4. Also when old clips or new added make sure the lips are bent back in holding the better clips tight The new clips are a joke hope it helps

says it all thank you
