It’s about 1/2 hour from me

That’s the fun of owning these cars tho. The more you work on, the more intimate you become with your car. Locating trim helps you identify what you need, and also helps when the next guy needs help and you have the answer. Every time I see someone who just got a car, I always tell them to do...

If I’m not mistaken, 68/69 have a front trim piece that captures the headliner, so there are clips that go into little square holes along the lip of the front. I’m not sure if the clips stay in and the headliner goes over them or not, it’s been awhile since I’ve owned a 68/9. I think they also...

So, first thing I did was insulate the roof of the car with foil backed “fanfold” 1/4” thick insulation that I got from Home Depot. I pre-cut the pieces to fit between the braces of the roof, and used the spray adhesive I pictured above on the foil side, and some on the roof, then fit the pieces...

Here’s the adhesive I use, and the welting pieces I clip over the edges of the lip to hold the headliner in place while I work the job. If you’d like a step by step of what I did, I’d be glad to post it. I didn’t take pictures along the way because I was doing the job, but I can chronicle the...

Nope, all the glass was in the car. I wrote up a post of the steps I took to do the job, and kind of like Russ, I used some old welting pieces to hold the edges while I worked my way around and got all the wrinkles out.

I did mine last spring, with some help from my buddy. We had it done in about 2 hours, and it went in without a fight. It’s pretty easy if you take your time and follow a few simple steps.

The simple answer is to count the number of teeth on the flywheel. That will tell you what clutch the system is supposed to have. The 130 tooth is most commonly found with the aluminum bellhousing and runs the 10.950” clutch. The 143 tooth flywheel is usually found in the cast iron bellhousing...

Holy cow, that car is a beast! Beautiful piece to be sure. Welcome to the fun, glad to have you with us!

Awesome, glad to hear a story about a car coming from Rust Bros. Not sure about those guys, but Mike seems to have a good heart about things. Welcome to the wonderful world of FBBO, glad to have you with us!

But if it came from a Roadrunner, it should be stamped HP

I run my 6bbl car on a 50/50 mix of 90 octane “Rec” fuel with no ethanol, and 110 racing gas which is leaded. The store at the corner by my house has the rec fuel, and I go into town to buy the 110. $60 gets me 10 gallons of this mix, and I can typically terrorize the streets of my pride lands...

He is in my prayers!

Welcome to the site Mr Chicken, glad to have you with us. Yes, we must see this bird of yours, I’m sure it’s stunning!

where on the lid and base is the part numbers you found? I can check my lid for those.

Which air cleaner are we talking about here? Original underside of a 70 6bbl lid.

Here’s a Roadrunner I used to own. I gave it to my wife, then my girlfriend, to drive. She loved that little car, and it fit her perfectly. Maybe that’s why she said “yes”!

Wow, is that a beautiful car. Those rims look perfect on there!
