    You guys with '69-'70, have you seen Year One's new guage cluster?

    The Dakota Digial unit is also an option (only about $600). http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=208/category_id=64/home_id=59/mode=prod/prd208.htm I'm still trying to decide if I want to go digital or not...

    Opinions on (or alternatives to) POR-15?

    I used the Rust Encapsulater on my front fender wells. I just brushed it on, let it dry, topped with a couple coats of primer, and sprayed on some satin krylon fusion. We'll see how well it holds up over the winter. I don't know if I want to put any undercoating on it again, because that...

    battery keeps dieing Dont know why.

    I've had problems with my horn draining my battery. The horn button assembly is crap, so when I close my door, it tends to make the button fall off from time to time. If I don't fix it right away, it drains the battery.

    Bad news for me and my 73

    In the interest of peace, I've removed my offending comments. This is counter productive, so I move that this issue be closed.

    I've read that torque is what counts.

    No, I wasn't trying to "bad mouth" all cops. Yes, the good ones do deserve a lot of respect. However, would the officer who was at the scene after the accident have said the guy was racing, if he were driving a Mini Van? I don't think he would have... Now, maybe the comment about the IQ...

    Bad news for me and my 73

    You're a cop, aren't you? I'll have you know, I've only received one ticket. The cops in my area are very dumb, and do some pretty shady things. My point was, that if the cop didn't witness the incident, he/she shouldn't be making asumptions about what happened.

    Yeah, I hope there's a decent judge involved in your court proceedings. One who listens to the witnesses, and not just taking the word of some "donut eating pig."

    Interior Paint Problems

    As far as I know, if the paint chipped down to bare metal, they didn't prepare the surface properly. Even if they didn't clear coat it, the paint shouldn't chip that easily.

    Stock 69 302

    This was just to get some ideas, and make sure I was headed in the "right" direction. I probably won't be tearing into the engine untill spring. The engine runs fine right now, but is in need of a rebuild. I want to get other things done before I do the engine. I find it funny when I see...

    Stock 69 302

    I don't know much at this point, I'm just looking toward the future. I'm going to do the suspension, and the granada swap right now. mj440: I was thinking of going with those things. Maybe by spring time I'll have the funds to do this. I think after I complete the suspension, I'll look...

    Stock 69 302

    I need some help with upgrading my engine. I think a rebuild and some mods is the best way to go, rather than with one of the crate options. Maybe it'll be cheaper, but I'm just doing research right now. Other things are happening to the car right now anyway. I'd like to have more "get up...

    Next Sticky Post Poll

    Tough call... I'd vote for #1, because I'm doing the Granada Swap on my 69 very soon, however I've done some research on this already. So I'll have to go with #3, because it'll be awhile before I get to the transmission.
