With the proper sealer sprayed on before the paint there should be no swirls or cracks in it. Sounds to me like it wasn't prepped right. I would contact a different shop, or take it back and tell them it's not acceptable. When I still had my shop I sprayed hundreds of fiberglass parts with no...

I'm not 100% sure, but I would imagine the seat frames are standard. The GT seats most likely have a foam bun with the extra foam in the knee area. If you would like, feel free to send me the link to what you're looking at and I can compare it to what I would get from my suppliers. You can also...

I'm still farting around with the damn Grant wheel. My newest problem is that the threads on the shaft are messed up and naturally I don't have a rethreading dye to fit. Is there any chance someone out here in forum land knows what size dye I would need? All the research I've done, and I can't...

The carpet pad helps keep the carpet up off the floor and therefore, it will fit better. Make sure when you put it in that you test fit the carpet, then mark where the bubbles are. You will most likely have to cut a few slits in it to help keep the bubbles out. Also, some good upholstery cement...

Damn alternator...No rain, and naturally she won't run.

Me too. Looks like it's pretty intact and there is all the rest of the parts to go with it. The perfect winter project.

It looks like it might be a fun time. Any other Dutchess County peeps going? Maybe take a group cruise over......

Hey gang, I might have found a decent deal to share. I found a pretty nice '65 fastback project on ebay. it;s item number is 250844931124. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to bid, but figured I would pass along the imfo. If anyone bids and wins, I;d be interested to see how the project...

The washer that is most likely being talked about is a stopper for the seat back. Some had what looks like a bolt on the bottom end of the backrest and then there was a plate on the cushion. This setup adjusts the recline of the seat. It was pretty crude, but it was the '60s. I don't know what...

Sorry for the delayed response, as I've been once again dealing with health crap. I haven't taken it back apart yet, and I don't remember if the spring went in or not. But as soon as I'm able to open it back up, I will certainly check. My question is, would the spring not being there cause the...

I installed a grant steering on my 65, and actually followed the instructions (lol). I finally got to drive it and I notice that there is considerable play in the column shaft side to side and when the wheel turns all the way in either direction, it seems to bind on the new rear cover. Any ideas...

Hello to all. Here is the question that has had me pulling out my hair for a week...... I have a 65 coupe 289 auto trans. I have the 600cfm Edelbrock carb on a performer intake. This past winter, I broke down the carb, cleaned and rebuilt it. Installed it back with recommended bench settings...
