"I don't know how urgently you need this but I think the best way to approach it is to search your local craigslist and the like ads until you find someone parting out a car and see if they'll sell you the roof section. Chances are…"
"Thanks Everyone,
I checked out the Cali BBB... found my answers"
"Indeed, The issue is of course being able to come pick up. Cutting out the roof would actually be quite easier than say a rear qtr. As far as price I will sell a complete car carcass for a fraction of that price. I hate to judge dealings with anyone…"
"Excellent point. The roof and most of the body sheet metal are part of what gets sent to the scrapper by guys like Jason and Russ when they part out a car unless somebody needs a section and can cut it out and haul it away. I'm sure their price…"
"$1300 for what is basically a piece of scrap metal sounds like criminally overpriced to me. "
"I have not dealt with them personally so I can't say anything about customer service but I am in Southern California and have been aware of them for many years. Their prices are constantly in what I would say is the upper echelon."

Hello Everyone,I am installing the inner fenders and cannot remember or find if a bolt closes the gap on the inner fender to chassis. There is a large hole about 1/2" or 3/4" diameter.

Lower Front End Ball Joints
Posted by Logan Robb on May 11, 2023 at 9:04am 7 Comments 0 Likes
Good Morning all!
I took the 64 into the shop to have some adjustments completed and in the process decided to have the lower ball joints replaced as was recommended the last time I had it in. I ordered the parts and came into the shop. They quoted me nearly $500 to replace those lower ball joints requiring nearly 4hrs of labor. Now this is a reputable shop and they know me by name here and they will continue to get my business. I am just questioning what on earth is…

Posted by CHRIS CARLSON on March 20, 2023 at 11:32pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
I'm having my steering sector rebuilt, and considering changing it from 20-1 ratio 4.2 turns lock to lock to 3.5 turns lock to lock @ 16-1 ratio, If i change from a 3 1/4" box to a 3" box i could have a 14-1 Ratio steering response would be faster, shorter distance to turn the wheel to get a response, has anyone done this? and how do you like it? thank you
