65 f100. Base coat was Caribbean blue. On top was gold. On top was red. Tried that orange paint stripper. It works alright it ends up penetrating to metal. Tried wet sanding with 1500 grit and that’s okay-ish but hell it’s Texas and it’s not the most fun. Is orbital sander the way? With a super super fine grit? Am I just on a loss and have to settle for a faux-patina cover up?
Gentlefolk, I recently picked up a spectre dual snorkel intake that I’m going to run, similar to a thunderbolt ram air style. I’m clear on the driver side for the radiator support but the battery is an issue on the passenger side. I’m seeing relocation to the frame, but that seems impractical on a street truck. An exploded battery next to the road getting caught out in the rain seems like a bad deal. I moved the gas tank to under the bed, so I do have space behind the seat, but I’m seeing that I have to run a box to keep it safe for racing, but again, it’s a street truck. Let me know what you guys have for advice, if anyone has moved their battery out the engine bay and to where and if you used a box. Thanks all.
Howdy all. Finally got the truck on the street. Finally got an alignment done on the front but when picking up speed, the rear driver wheel started being wobbly. I got brand new Moser axles, speedway 3.50 third member, new axle seals, new wilwood disc brakes, new wheels and tires. I got no idea what it could be. Maybe something is wrong with my suspension install? Am I really going to have to tear the rear up to figure this out? Any advice on trouble shooting it?
I have a 95 HO engine, converted to carb in my 65 f100. It’s running the 95 HO serpentine system so I still have that power steering pump. The front suspension is QA1 and it uses a fox body power steering rack. I figure I could go -6 AN lines from pump to rack, but I’m having issues pulling a solution. Any tips? I see that LMR has a pump conversion bit but I need the bit ASAP and there’s a summit racing next to my house I could get it at, I might have to shave it down but not sure what the thread is. Any help is appreciated. Posting here because it’s a fox body rack.

Hi all. Was at a car show and saw a 1970 Buick Skylark, LS swapped, with these seats. Chatted with the owner about the swap and he kept saying Cadillac but not a specific year or model. I have a premium ATS and even my headrests don’t look this unique. Any ID? Did he remove the original ones and switch them with rear seats? Any help is appreciated
Hello all. Hear me out. Looking for harness style seats. I own a Malibu. I’m aware of what I got and the limitations of it. I got a plain old bench seat that some rats chewed out, I can either pay $500 for seat upholstery or use that money towards Corbeau seats. I say this brand since they make an adapter for bench Chevelle’s already, so ideally it’ll be easier to bolt on.
Anybody got experience with corbeau seats?
