    Spare tire and Jack info

    Thanks, that would be great. I don't have the jack, lug wrench, or anything else associated with it. I'm going to start looking for them but I have no idea what any of them look like to even begin looking. And I don't really know what that hook thing is for. Just trying to cross some things...

    Spare tire and Jack info

    Does anyone have any pictures or information on the correct jack and how it and the spare tire is mounted in the trunk? I found a couple of pictures of the tire location, but nothing on the jack assembly or how that's mounted. This is what I currently have minus the spare tire. Not sure why I...

    '83 Mirada street/strip project - my official return to FMJ!

    Very cool progress. What valve covers are you going with? Or are you going to repaint those orange?

    Work has kept me pretty busy but I have the front end almost completely together. Everything I could clean and repaint I did, including the bumper shocks or whatever those things are called. I repainted the inner fenders, The messy black overspray was like that and I tried my best to redo...

    Here's pretty much what all I had to do to shift the tank over: Fold over the edges where the straps go...you can see to the side of the strap where it originally was seated: With that you should have enough room to pull the strap around and bolt it in. It's tight on the driver's side since...

    Thanks. I wanted to go with the Super Turbo's, but I have them on a couple other cars and wanted to try something different, hoping it would be quieter. I forgot that the Super Turbo's I have aren't the same. One set is the longer 17748 case...some people call them the "Hemi Turbo's" because...

    '83 Mirada street/strip project - my official return to FMJ!

    I just got a chance to check your project out...very cool. I'm pretty sure my vent went to the charcoal canister....which isn't there...it kind of just vents into the engine bay right now (the line is just there). I don't think I have the return hooked up either...this reminds me I need to...

    Well my camera that connected and worked fine for years on this computer no longer works...what the hell? It says the driver or something is screwed up. I put the original CD in and re-installed everything...still not working. How the hell can it work fine for years, I don't touch anything, and...

    Thanks and it's no problem at all. I'm waiting for the pics to download right now. For the edge's, I just crimped them over with a set of pliers and then smacked them with a ball peen hammer. I'm in middle TN.

    The only one I have is the one I posted. What would you like to see in particular? I have the car on a lift right now so I can take a upskirt picture of anything you want...

    Mine actually cleared that....barely. I checked, re-checked, and checked again and it looks like it's just within that recessed area and has just enough clearance to not smack the bottom of the trunk. I also cut a piece of tar paper and laid it on top of the tank to keep any vibrational noise to...

    It's a SOB to get to a couple of the bolts. I'd rather cut the inside of the cowl to get to them. It wasn't too bad to mask it off and paint it on the car. I hope it never goes out though...

    Thanks, it is definitely not easy, but absolutely fun. I don't don't know if you guys want to look at control arms and torsion bars but I'll have pics of them soon....I hope.

    The new exhaust, 2 1/2" Summit Turbo mufflers (I'm cheap) before I did any tuning on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaehe3CftVU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFsuWHg7584 And this is where it's currently at while I rebuild the front end. Hopefully in a week or so it will be ready to go...

    I needed an engine with a few hundred extra hp, so I picked up this 360 and built a 408: Don't forget to space the driver side mount... Finished and ready to go in:

    After stripping almost everything from the engine bay I spent what seemed like forever scuffing, cleaning, priming, and painting.

    It desperately needed a cleaning, a pressure water hooked to the hot water faucet and some Dawn dish soap took care of that Before: After:

    With some persuasion from one of the mods, I thought I would share my ongoing project: It's an '89 Diplomat AHB with a 408, 727 and soon to upgrade 3.55 gears and Sure-Grip. I'm in the process of rebuilding the front end right now, with most of the time being wasted on degreasing and...

    Who here owns a cop Diplomat? Or any Dippy?

    Do I post them here or in another thread? You know I have a ton of pictures from start to where it currently sits...

    Who here owns a cop Diplomat? Or any Dippy?

    No, I have the front end all apart and I'm still degreasing the damn thing.
