Go for it
I installed a 383 and a TKO600 in my 65 coupe last winter. It fit in no problem with all the same mounts etc.
It went pretty smooth overall. The only issues I had were from my own inexperience. It was my first time with a project of this scale so there were things I did the hard way...
I also got to see Rich and his lovely wife.
I had seen the car at Carlisle but got a closer look at WOW and had a nice conversation with the misses and she is a pleasure to talk to.
It must be nice when a husband and wife enjoy the hobby equally. She was very knowledable about all aspects of the...
Keep the old ones !!
Herb,
I too like Barry have a 65 not a C1 but I started out buying a complete set of windshield trim from LIC. The packaging did say Paragon however.
The trim wouldn't stay in place with the clips because the angle of the return on the trim that hooks onto the clip was...
A few weeks ago I added relays to my headlight circuit to help brighten the lights for night driving. It definately helped.
But now I notice my tail lights are out. I have break lights and directionals but no tail lights.
I assumed they were OK before. I got an inspection sticker with no problem...
This is my first try at posting a picture.
I bought my 65 in April of 2001.
The picture is about 1 year old and since then I've lowered the rear about 2" using longer bolts on the rear fiberglas spring. So it sits a little better now than in the picture.
Although it's not a stock look I...
Does anyone know what the story with the stud is or is my car just screwed up?
Someone suggested that it is a bolt that held the visor and that the head just broke off.
I still remember someone posting the same problem quite awhile ago and I don't remember the answer.:confused
Unfortunately my oldtimers is kicking in.
I'm in the process of putting all the inside trim back in around the windshield. The drivers side visor next to the mirror has a stud sticking out where I would think a screw would go. I took it apart a few months ago and C.R.S.
Seems to me Barry K or...
I hear ya Barry
I definately won't tackle the rears.
Maybe sometime during the next few cold months I'll take the front wheels off and see how scary the front ones look.
As usual thanks guys for the input.

Every time I get under my car I have these ugly rusty brake shield staring at me. Overall it's pretty clean under there. I have a no rust painted frame with relatively new suspension parts, but the brake shields are a mess.
How big a deal is it to change them.
A few years ago I had never worked...
Thanks Pete
Pete,
You were absolutly correct. I changed the starter today and it works like a charm.
I brought the old starter to Autozone and what a job finding the correct one.
My engine is a 1984 vintage 350 cid block with a Lakewood bell housing. The starter bolt patern is front to back...
Christmas eve day was pretty nice up here in MA so I thought while I had an hour to spare I would go for a quick ride.
The car hadn't been started in a week or so but it started reasonably quick.
After it started I noticed it was making a funny noise. I tried to isolate it but I couldn't tell...
Thanks Bob and Bob,
One more question. In the search I did I also saw mention of using primer on the glass and frame prior to applying the sealant so everything would stick.
Anyone know the brand name and number of the primer.
Also there was mention of the rope cord. Is that the piece you pull...
