    OIL

    "Wully bully" has it right. The price of oil, much like most other commodities, is no longer based on the supply/demand principle and hasn't been for some time. The futures and options on futures market speculates on the future price of oil and the 24 hr news cycle affects the price of these...

    Thinking about a 5 speed again !

    I have a tremec 3550 which was in the car when I bought it. I have no idea if its the same size as the newer tremec 5 spds. I had the interior stripped out this past winter for insulation and carpet so I got a good look at the tunnel and it was unaltered. I never looked at the alignment/angles...

    Thinking about a 5 speed again !

    I have an older TKO in my car. It has a 3.27 1st gear and a .68 5th. It fits w/o any tunnel modifications. When I got the car it had 4.11s and 1st gear was nearly useless so I switched in 3.55s this past winter and it is definitely the sweet spot for me. 80 is about 2700 rpms and I can...

    Calm before the storm

    My jaw was dragging on the ground and I was so busy talking to the 2 of them and seeing their work and cars that I forgot to snap any pics. They're just going to do a small touch up of the fire wall, work on getting the panel alignment and gaps a little better and then they're going to remove...

    Props to Classic Industries

    Quicker to bit** than compliment, I had to give Classic some positive feedback. I ordered a complete RH front window for my car as the frame on the old one (original?) was RIP and the glass was tired. I had to zip tie the window up inside the door because the center bracket had rusted off...

    Deadly X-Frame Cars...

    This is the video in question-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdKWpIBZJgw 21st century cars are in a different universe compared to their mid-20th century counterparts, this is just a fact. As had been previously speculated, there's no way to know if they used a rust bucket to sensationalize...

    Heads re. CPP for any in the market for a steering box.

    I installed the CPP box this spring (although I had bought it early last year) and experienced about 2" of play in the box and a leak from the input shaft. I understand if no one wants to read the foregoing as it is long but I was playing with them to try to see if the bottom line was a moving...

    Sunvisor Problem

    My sunvisors are driving me crazy as I can't get them to stay up. I have broken 2 sets of crappy pot metal brackets trying to get them tight enough so they stay out of my face. I may have to glue them to my headliner if I can't figure this out! Help.
