As far as the RA vs nonRA codes from above, Boss was confusing the block coding with the carbs. In 71, there were 4 carb #s, manual and auto...

Polyglas GT L60x15 Questions

Where Polyglas GT L60x15s original equipment on any car when new? What would an original one with minor wear and a small rub around the face from quarter panel be worth (could make nice trunk spare)?

Re: Caswell Copycad Zinc Plating Kit

Re: Dual Snorkel Air Cleaner - what's it from?

The chrome lid looks to be a repop chevy lid. The air cleaner itself is correct for '70-'72 GTO or Grand Prix. The '69 GTOs had a wider spread on the snorkels and the '68s were single snorkel. The...

Re: Replicating Factory Spot Weld Appearance

I have to agree, that does look really good. Especially the ones made with the newest tool. What did you use for the female side on the one you just made?

Re: Replicating Factory Spot Weld Appearance

Thanks Mike. On your vice grip it looks like you layered up 5 pieces of something to make the dimple side of your die. What did you use for that?

For putting a new quarter on (NOS or otherwise), most bodyguys do not have the equipment to spot weld it like the factor did. Most bodyguys plug weld and grind smooth. Does anyone have any...

Re: Pontiac 455HO or SD clean project car.

I know Larry. I just talked to him a few weeks ago. He had a few leads for me but one was a done car (trailer queen) and the other was actually not for sale. I do call him from time to time.
