    SV side windows, back HT window, windshield trim

    I just picked up a rolling chassis of a SV. It is missing its side windows, everything. If the parts you want to sell me are pitted, please tell me beforehand. It is also missing the back glass of the hardtop and the trim. I also need the stainless trim at the bottom of the windshield.

    Vague thread titles

    I have a peeve about vague thread titles, especially in the technical section of this forum. Examples; "Can it handle it?" and "Aaarrgghh this car!" :mad: Both authors of these threads could have spent a few moments to compose a thread title that succinctly states the topic to be discussed...

    Brake rotor warping - Cryo treatment?

    I wasn't sure which forum to post this to, so I"m posting it here. I have a 2014 F150 with 15,000 miles. The brake rotors are warped. I think I know when and how it happened, but it's enough to say that it was under normal operating conditions; a normal load in the truck, driving on the...

    @ Jim Nichols (others ok, too)

    Jim, I took the V6 modifications discussion here because it started to sound like a conversation between you and I and I didn't want to clutter the 'Modified' forum with chatter. As you might recall, I have a Bronco II 2.8 long block and I have a 4.0 crankshaft. I've started the search for a...

    Prices for Sunbeams

    I've been watching the prices of Sunbeams as they come up for sale here in the Pacific Northwest. Complete, driver Sunbeams are selling for prices starting at $5,000, which seems fair. Nice ones are selling for up to 10k. There's a very nice Tiger for sale for 35k. Then there's the rusted...

    Monte Carlo bar

    I tried a quick search on the forums but didn't find anything about this in my first pass. Early Mustangs were sometimes fitted with 'Monte Carlo bars' that braced the tops of the shock towers to each other. I have also seen this with the later MGBs. I was looking at posts about suspension...

    Metric or SAE bolts

    My Sunbeam was a literal basket case. I really did get the car with baskets of parts. I am trying to fit the radiator to the support and I don't want to jam a SAE bolt into metric threads if I can avoid it (or visa versa). What bolt is used to mount the radiator to the support? I had asked...
