yummy. but it like... still works so. i guess i can just clean it up. i have like 5 spares so i guess it doesn't hurt to replace it anyways. found the oil leak. Oil Pan Gasket. it would appear.

Regulator seems to work fine though. but i have several spares so it's no issue. they all have a sticky back don't they? useful to stick your loose screws too thought the drip under the car was oil but it's hard like old super glue. never heard of oil hardening like that but I'm open to being...

what size are the Army Jackets? if they are green and are of the "M65" variety. people will pay a pretty penny for authentic M65 Jackets

AC/Radio gobbledygook

small dilemma. this under dash is cracked. i gotta replace it. only issue. will drilling a hole for the new one just crack it? they feel so brittle. oil pressure gauge works. car hovers at around 20-30 when on the road but will sometimes fly up to 75. idiot light isn't lighting up so that's...

they put goofy door handles on it for some reason

guessing the felt always falls off? wonder if i can find some fabric at a craft store and glue it to em? forgive me but under this door. i swear i haven't seen that on other M doors. is that a Ballistic panel? or was i just not paying attention to the other cars. door isn't exceptionally...

yes. they staple to the top of the door panel. i was so excited to get the new door panel from the junkyard Diplomat with the intact weather strip. and then i got it out of the trunk and it was just gone. Thanos snapped. i have a partial one from a Volare as well as numerous broken pieces from...

anyone have solutions for the door panel weather stripping? it's all fallen off this door panel and each replacement i do find, it in turn also falls apart. this has happened twice now. while i'm at it. driver's side window is wonky. you need to put it back into place by hand when rolling back...

got there, started cutting. got a decent cut in but it's very clear i don't have the right tools for the job. and i'm not about to have this thing slip and cut me. i'll go back with some assistance. trunk was locked. that sucks. might have to drill it's lock. two good tail lights on this car and...

going to try. wish me luck. but i feel like i remember seeing a sign in LKQ's office that said no sawzalls but i don't see that on their website. only no cutting torches, gas powered tools, and grinders. sawzall shouldn't throw too much sparks, if at all.

Can I have a quick rundown of taking off the header panel and fenders? Dip finally showed up at a local yard. Do pick your parts typically allow sawzalls?

oh.... so thats where the water was coming from. temporarily patched until the new quarters come. i think it was body filler. big red chunk. would a 2bbl police model have had the 8 3/4 rear end?

a few years back i had bought a Holley Sniper kit in full anticipation to convert my 1988 Gran Fury. we ended up just deleting the lean burn system and sticking an ebay Chinesium carb on it and it runs like... not exactly a champ but good enough. this kit has just been sitting in boxes. i been...
