Ron's Restoration.
If you can find a local Raleigh outfit called Ron's Restoration or Ron's auto-body, they did a color change on the sport coupe. Did a pretty good job too at a decent price. They have a lot of old metal moving through that shop and dont mark up like it's insurance work. They...
Just bought some land, time to put the truck to work-
However, my old IH Scout is really hard to find parts for, and I'm gonna need to work a truck really hard to do what I need to do. Also need it to be a pickup for hauling stone.
Does anyone have suggestions for early 70s 4X4 trucks that...
Alex Lifeson of Rush won Guitar Player's Guitarist of the year so many times I think they kicked him off the ballot. Guess they didn't talk to any musicians to compile this list. :rolleyes:
OK, I lost the little piece of paper that had my pre-body work measurements.
Would one of you guys with a 78-80 be willing to measure the position of the emblems on your trunk lid?
Found NOS emblems, just gotta remember where they go. :rolleyes:
Thanks,

New IE may be the issue.
I had this exact problem when I upgraded to IE6 on an older computer. Tried everything under the sun, but the fix was to back off to IE5.5- and stay there. A reinstall of IE6 produced the same result. There are veiled references in some of the Microsoft chat rooms to...
Raleigh is a decent town to hang out in.
You may want to check out Mitch's Tavern on Hillsborough St. in Raleigh- that's where part of Bull Durham was filmed. Also a good place to eat lunch and have a pitcher.
The Char-Grill on Hillsborough towards downtown makes a really freakin' good...
Thanks for the feedback Rich, that makes sense 'bout the A pillar.
I was looking a t the Autolites- they look like good product.
The Caspers gauge will be feeding off an '87 setup, so no worries there. I took the easy way out on the engine... :rolleyes:
Any of you guys with the pre-'82 TRs/Regals running aftermarket gages? How are you mouting them for visibility?
I'd like to go with A-Pillar, but the dual pods I've seen on the web are for '82 and up.
I'll be putting a caspers knock gage and a yet-to-be-determined boost gage in the TR...
Putting the carb/turbo draw-thru setup away for a rainy day in favor of an 87 SFI/IC setup. TA49, 009, THDP, etc. Been a long project. Turbo Tune in greensboro is doing the engine. Hopefully will be on the road and being broken in by Nov.
So it's a stock apprearing early TR with a 1/2 vinyl...
Thanks for the info. I may try to make the shootout, I'd like to see how you guys are running. Heck, the regal's conversion might even be done by then. :eek:
I'd like to take my kid to a local drag race- he's starting to get interested in cars. Anybody know any tracks closer than Rockingham? Any recommendations on spectator-friendly events?
Thanks,

Good luck tomarrow Red, I'll be riding out the storm on the south side. I keep wondering if the track is gonna shift west too, which would be good news for you- and a repeat of Fran for me.
Nothing left to do but pop a cold one and watch the wind come in.
Later,
George
