    Broken Crank

    Happy New Year all, Just pulled my old engine apart, I think I found the problem with it: Broken crankshaft, bent #1 rod. I'm kind of suprised it didn't blow up, it stayed intact, well contained in the caps anyways. Lots of big chunks of crank debris in the pan. I think I'll go easier on...

    New hood cowl and new engine heating up

    Howdy all, after installing the new engine, the top of the carb was flush with the stock hood, so I installed a 4" cowl: I cut grooves into the sides of the scoop, creating something like "tabs", where it flattens out on the side of the scoop for about 3 inches and slid the scoop side tabs...

    New Griffin Radiator

    I wanted to install the biggest crossflow radiator I could fit in and with some cutting I managed to squeeze it in there :) Now I just have to make brakets on the top and bottom to hold it in there. With the radiator all the way forward up against the grill/headlight support, I have about 4"...

Hey guys, since I've got the whole car pretty much torn apart and doing body work...I was wondering if my 75 Ghia would accept the regular size coupe window instead of the half opera window/half plastic cover? It looks like I could just grind the clip holder...
