It might be just me but when I look at the picture of the engine it appears to have been rode hard and put away wet.
I sure would have a more detailed inspection before purchasing.

Instead of buying all those sockets just eliminate the buckets and hardwire the LED's. Thats what I did.
That cleans up the trunk and gets a bit more space.

I’ve had more experience using lacquer paints the “ newer” formulations. I used to really enjoy how lacquer jobs turned out, the more you shot on, the better it looked and hours of wet sanding was a must.
The water based paints seems totally alien to me!

I get what Steve is alluding to. Do you have a lower steering column bearing on the steering shaft?

I really like the body colour engine bay.
I still wish I did that.

My hydraulic pump experience is more industrial than automobile but I have learned that cast iron bodied units far outlast aluminum ones.
As far as power steering goes, I don’t know why more guys don’t go electric. To each his own I suppose.

The unsung hero of that movie though is the driver of the Charger. Bill Hickman. Noted stunt driver, stunt coordinator and hobby racer. He was close with James Dean and coached him on his driving technique. Unfortunately Bill was the first person on the scene of Dean's death in Cholame (pronounced show-lamb.) 

Bill Hickman should be a household name. But he is not. For car guys the chase scenes Bill created should be required regular watching. Eff FaceBook, binge on Bill Hickman chase scenes. 


And maybe the best thing of all about Bill Hickman is that he and RPM's dad are dopplegangers. 

Bill Hickman may be cool, but he ain't 1936 Harley Knuckhead cool like Gene McDougal.

 

 
Real cool picture of your Pop and the back in the day mandatory Camel.

I found this browsing my pictures the other day.

From what I’ve read on other web sites that is the bestselling contour controller.

The wiper delay mod is the one I really wanted but never got around to it.
