Re: 1968 / 1969 Powerglide ID VIN

Yes, the VIN was put on most major components to aid law enforcement and to show manufacturers whether a defective part was originally on THAT car?

It is between the 2 pan bolts, and is readable only from above.

1965 Corvair IgnitionSwitchWiring

Just pix for now since the diagram in the manual is too "tight" to really see what wire goes where of the back of the switch. Please confirm these for accuracy and let me (and others) know in "Comments" if there is any error or omission? I hope these help someone? Also, the manua...

Custom Sun Visors

Rather than refurbish my worn out visors, I made a new set from oak wood to see if this was even a viable idea? The originals (in the first pic) are Masonite with a steel rib, which I replaced and shaped them to fit the curvature of the windshield frame. I had to cut the spot welded pins off of the ...

Fun with Custom Spoilers

I had a "left over" spoiler from a '96 Ford Probe and since its shape conformed to the curve of the '65 rear window, I decided to see how it would look. Here's my "proof of concept" design exercise:" Some thought the spoiler should go on the front so I had some fun with that...

Re: Steering issue

Yes, I knew that but I just didn't notice until now :<~{

Was I notified of my error? I'd have fixed it then if I had realized it.

If I was, maybe I missed it, but if not well, I fixed it when I looked for it a year later.

Apologies to anyone who wanted to see it!

Re: Replacing heating ducts on a '65?

I'm replacing the 4" heater duct hoses on my '65 Monza convert, and need to "hang" them away from the axles, starter, etc. I'll wrap the driver side to insulate it from the starter, but where do the hangers attach to the body. I don't see any holes where they would have been in its fo...
