You can try CLR test it on a hidden spot first.

The rear tail light trim is anodized to a satin finish. I did use mothers chrome polish to clean them. It's a cream and has no grit to it and took the dirt and stains off.

Nice. Did they require spacers? No not at all. however i did use them up front to bring them out for aesthetics. I did have them mounted without tho and clearance was fine. I wanted them out near the edge since it looked better to me. They are 17x7 front and 17x8 rear. there was plenty of room to g...

These are REV Classic 105 they fit very good with 4.5" backspace and -0- offset. I also cut one coil on my front spring.

Oh that looks easy...

Don't take it seriously. It's an old joke. Anyone that has replaced vacuum and a.c. lines knows that the dash should be removed to insure a good job. How many of us have done it? Not me. Therefore, "removing the engine and cutting a (HUGE) hole in the fire wall is the alternate way to go."...

From what i read it can be done from under the dash. remove seat laydown and get cramped hands lol
I looked up there it looks doable.
Thanks,

Bob, thanks for the info.
I have all the old stuff but am replacing everything except the evaperator. I dont want to take any chances that'll be chasing parts etc. for around $1k i'll have it all and a better compressor and no worries about running 134A. At least i hope haha

at some point in my cars life the previous owner cut the AC lines flush with the firewall on my 66. Now im considering buying all new stuff for the engine compartment side of the sytem and get it all up and running again. Whats involved in replacing those lines? Does the dash need to be removed or w...

sounds like you already pulled the heads? if so you need new gaskets anyway for the heads and intake. you can check the heads with a straight edge and looke cracks. put it all back together and see where your at. barring a crack etc this should fix the issue

why not have the originals relaced?

Very nice, Love the colour but I am bias. A mate of mine has done the same gauge conversion on his 65 except he black faces. Nice work well done. Thank you very much. I love making this car better and better every year while still enjoying it. Next will be restoring the A/C prob not till next off s...

Here's what I did for 2 1/16" autometer gauges. Remove old and glue in a 1/4" slice of 2" PVC in the bezel. I had to hot glue the Gage's into the bezel because space is tight but hot glue is easy to remove if needed. I also had to extend the wires and run a new wire for the volt gauge...
