    Check Out the Rear Hardtop Window

    All I know is I need my head examined rebuilding the car I have instead of going and buying that one. It's just a short drive from me. Brian

    How about a cheap replacement rad for an Alpine?

    Jose, to tell you where I am at in fabrication skills, I could make that crossmember from scratch in an afternoon, notching it is about as tough and complex as eating my breakfast. Honestly, it's no big deal. Brian

    How about a cheap replacement rad for an Alpine?

    Guys, I appreciate your input, even if you are calling me a moron. :D Honestly, I appreciate all you have said. What I have is very rough car, one missing about half it's parts. I got it for next to nothing for my teenage son. We bought a Pinto motor for it. The original Alpine motor was...

    How about a cheap replacement rad for an Alpine?

All in another day of hotrodding, not a big deal. I also am making the hood hinge mounting panel removable. The panel where the radiator...

    Frame measurements

    Is there a frame dimension chart on the net somewhere? My '59 Alpine has some poor work done on the left frame horn and would like to be sure they are correct more than simply cross measuring. Or, if someone has a Series 1 (or others if they are the same) with a bumper off to measure across...

    How about a cheap replacement rad for an Alpine?

    I have searched here and looked around quite a bit and came up with nothing. Is there a radiator out of a stock car that will fit in the Alpine for a small 4cyl cooling (Pinto 2300)? Brian

    What steering wheel will fit the Alpine?

    So I am "thrifty" as this car is for my son and there is a lot of other stuff to buy. Would this wheel here work on it? http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIVERSAL-320mm-6-BOLT-RACING-STEERING-WHEEL-PVC-LEATHER-BLACK-w-RED-STITCH-/141654664003?fits=Model%3ARX-7&hash=item20fb46a343&vxp=mtr Brian
