    Valve train failure....where to go from here

    Well, I can't offer any more advice on the issue; things are well covered by our wise forum members. So I'll just throw in some more encouragement: This absolutely sucks, no doubt about it. But, you have a beautiful '62, with great, unique colors, stickshift; I mean that thing is awesome! You...

    Here's a few pic's of my '59 crossmember. My car only had a mount for one arm on the frame, so I built a crossmember and added those Global West braces and some other bracing as well. Boxed and reinforced the lower arm mounts too. And did a bunch of reinforcing to the X, as I cut some of the...

    Builder Blues, In a Rut, need to get motivated!!!

    Don't beat yourself up, something will click and get you going again. I'm the same way, and I have a '59 Bel Air 2-door post project I'm in the middle of - that I haven't touched in well over a year. Life got in the way, a few injuries got in the way, and plain old...

    I've talked to him a few times at Strat's, which is where I'm going tomorrow night. Nice man, and a cool "Delray" too.

    If you could PM me Mike's last name as well that would help me Wednesday night when I'm asking people if they know him. Thanks.

    Anyone heard from Mike models916?

    No response to my PM. I'm definitely concerned. Wednesday I'm going by a cruise- spot I know he used to hang out at. I'm going to ask around to see if anyone knows him and/or has seen him or at least his car. I'll post with my results.

    Anyone heard from Mike, A.K.A. models916? It dawned on me that I haven't seen him posting for a while, and I sent him a PM and got no response. Hoping he's OK.

    Adding mechanical gauges to your factory hot/cold lights/ dash warning light lights

    To add the extra ports needed for my aftermarket gauge sender and electric fan switch on my 348 I bought a cast iron water neck from Rock Auto, Dorman #902-2017 for about $8 and drilled and tapped it myself - the material is thick enough that you don't need a "boss". A little tight with a 3x2...
