    Good price on roof replacement?

    I was quoted $1,200 to cut the roof off and replace with a good one. (Use to be a vinyl top car :( ) That sounds fair to me because of all the bracing and cutting involved.

    Noisy Engine

    I've been driving my 66 for awhile now. I noticed a small noise coming from the engine compartment. It sounds like it's coming from the clutch. Like the bearing vibrating. Is it possible to have something vibrate loose? When I push the clutch in it gets a little quieter.. Any ideas?:shrug:
