I bought a used hood at Carlisle last weekend. I just about have all of the old flaking paint scraped off. Underneath the hood is a light tan/brown with areas that are a whitish color. There is a spot at the back edge where the hood is cracked clean through, maybe 2 inches long. My questions...

I picked up a used hood at Carlisle today. It's a '64 hood with the '67 stinger on it. I thought I remembered that someone had made one into a "ram-air" setup where a flap would open in the front of the scoop at w.o.t. or "on demand". Anyone have the 411 on this? I have prep and paint questions...

The on going saga that has been the restoration of my '63 has taken a toll on my patience and wallet. Over the last few months I have been trying to get the car finished, with the last big item being trying to get the side windows installed. Well the windows still aren't in and my frustration...

I took the rear window trim of my '63 to have it polished. It looks like a million bucks now, but alas, it looks like I am going to have to re-install it. I know things come apart easier than they go together, so are there any tips I should be aware of? Do I tilt the pieces toward the body or...

I'm looking for a better alternative to the hooker glaspacks in my 4" sidepipes. I know a lot of people like the spiral baffles, but to me, the price seems out of line. Has anyone tried the vortex insert cones? They seem like a good idea that might work, but then again it might just be a...

There seem to be some people here who were around back in the "day". Back then, in real life, how did the 427's fair against the cobra's? Were there any other cars that would give the vette a run for it's money? Most would agree, as do I, that the vette was the best all around package, but I'm...

The inflation thread got me thinking. What would a midyear be like if The General used today's technology to build one? How light would it be? 2500lbs? Less? A computer controlled aluminum 327 or 427 without smog equipment.:eek I guess they would have to do some work on the aerodynamics unless...

Doing some legwork on my step-dads '66 I am getting more questions than answers. On the body plate under the glovebox the "trim" is listed as 450BA. I know 450 is white/blue int. but what is the "BA" for? Also, the paint is listed as 976AA(nassau blue) What does the "AA" mean? I also noticed...

I'm trying to find out exactly what engine is in my step-dads '66BB for him. I know it's not the original 427, but other than that I am lost. I did notice that the pad is blank. The #'s I did get are: driver's side, rear of block: 3999289 alittle farther up are the letters "conv" and...
