    	Hi,
    
    	  I am new to this conference and I am actually here on behalf of
      my Uncle. My Uncle is searching for one of the following:
    
    		54 Meteor 
    
    		54 Ford Convertible
    
    		67 Mustang
    
    		67 Ford Convertible
    
    	His preference is the Meteor however he said that he would settle
    for one of the others. Does anyone have an idea of where I might get
    some more information ? Maybe someone out there has one for sale.....

watch out, there are three pinion sizes you'll have to be concerned with.  I 
don't have the casting numbers handy but the later rears have the largest 
pinion shaft diameter.  This'll be a real hassle if you find a rear and want to 
change the ratio.

What you put it into will have a lot to do with what it comes out of because 
spring perch positions will differ as will track width.

A back issue of Hot Rod Mechanix had a blurb on rear ends and dimensions, I'll 
try and remember to look it up.

skip

Thanks Skip.  The guy at the chassis shop said to look for a rear end with
a casting number that ends in 489 or 742.  The rear end will be narrowed 
and will have the mounts welded on for the Vega coil spring set up.

Mark

    re: .17 Those are the right numbers. If its a 3.91 you're after, most
    Dodge vans came with that ratio (particularly delivery vehicles). The
    posi unit itself is interchangeable between those two cases you've
    listed but the gears are not.
    
    For narrowing, unless you've already got a good deal lined up, I'd
    recommend Greg Moser Eng. in Portland, Ind.. He advertises in Hot Rod,
    Car Craft etc.. and did an excellent job on mine - shortened housing AND
    axles for $150. and a 2 day turnaround !!

    WANTED:        1966 BUICK SKYLARK G.S. 401 
    
     Whole car or here's a list of what I need..
    
    
    - Brackets and pulleys for 401 with A/C setup and PS bracket
    - Radiator
    - Exhaust manifolds (must be for 65-66 skylark w/401)
    - Drive shaft
    - Motor mounts (have adapter plates).
    - 66 GS Hood and Emblems (would be nice..)
    
    This is all I need to get my 66 Skylark (GS?) back on the road. I
    finished the 64 401 Wildcat motor which will be placing my 340. The
    motor has been bored 30 over with all new stock parts and is ready to
    go. I hope the 64 Wildcat tranny is the same one used in the 66 Skylark
    GS. Its tuff to find one around to copy.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Brian

      The tranny for the '64 Wildcat should be a 3-speed Super Turbine 400.
The G.S. most likely had a two speed in '66, but it should still fit.

    Anybody ever see or hear of a USED Richmond (new Doug Nash) 4+1 tranny
    for sale (street or strip version)?  and a price?
    
    I know the new ones are $1.5 to $1.8 for mail order houses, but there
    should be some used ones around for less $$$.
    
    Also.....does it use regular linkage (not a rail), and does the
    shifter sit in the same location (or is a new hole in the floor required)?
    
    	Thanks

    re -1
    
    I have one in my 79 Camaro. I bought it new/used (someone bought one
    and never installed it) I paid $1200. for it serveral years ago.
    
    Not exactly bolt in. (needed to move the crossmember) but not too 
    difficult.
     
    I originally purchased a Hurst shifter for the transmission that came
    though the factory hole in the floor. I later switched to a Long
    vertigate shifter (inline pattern) that does NOT come though the
    factory hole. Some cutting was needed.
    
    I reccomend this transmission.  It gives the best of both worlds.

    I've been to the regular bumper chrome places and haven't been
    satisfied with the quality of the pice upon return. I've got at

    re:.50
    Chris,
    Around the Worcester area I've heard a place in or near Hartford CT.
    does about the best chrome/rechome plating. I'll ask around and find
    out who it is if you're interested.
    
    John

    John,
    
     Hartford's close enough, let me know what you find out.
    
    Thanks,

    Hey Chris, add my Torino bumpers to the re-chrome list, too.
                                                               John M.
    

    This is just a general question regarding plating and maybe doesn't 
    belong here.  I'm wondering if the rear bumper on my '55 is worth 
    replating.  It's a three piece job with little or no surface rust.
    The problem is that the center section has got a couple of dings in
    it and is a bit wrinkled, for lack of a better term.  It's probably
    a total of about 1/8" in terms of variation from straight.
    
    I'm wondering if straightening/filling is an option and whether or 
    not it's cost effective or should I just purchase a rechromed unit
    from somebody else?  I've never looked into replating and don't know
    much about it.
    
    Thanks in advance for any help,

    John

    John,
    
     You're probably talking about Astro Bumper. I had a bumper from my
    71 Monte Carlo done there once and wasn't happy. I didn't get back  
    the same one I sent. Mine had no damage and the one I got back 
    had major repair work done to it. The chrome was just a production
    job that looked okay, nothing special. I refused the bumper and ended 
    up buying a new one from GM (when they were available) for $25 more 
    than the cost of the rechrome. 
    
    Chris

    Chris,
    It's International Chromium on Atwells Ave. in Providence,R.I.

>    1965-1970 Dodge Challenger


GEEZ, I'd like to get a 1965-1970 Dodge Challenger.

It'd be pretty expensive, though.  One-offs always are.  Now a Charger, on 
the other hand, that'd be pretty reasonable as long as it wasn't an R/T.

	Anyone in Colo have a SB Chevy valve cover gathering dust?  I need
	one to open the top up on and use while adjusting lifters.  Thanks.

	Gordon 	592-4540

    Gordon, doesn't your engine take the new style valve covers with the
    bolts in the center, rather than around the edges? The old style covers
    won't fit on late model heads.

    Snell 85 or 90 helmet, size Xtra large (7 1/2 or 7 5/8)
    Prefer open face, but full face ok
    Color not important, but should be reasonable $$$

Steve,

Check the pawn shops in your local area.  That's where I recently picked up a
Snell 85 helmet for small $.  They even took my non-Snell helmet as a trade in.

Hope this helps.

Mark

    re: .-1 
    Mark,
    Are you serious?  One whack on the roll bar and a helmet is junk.
    Even if it doesn't show any outside damage.  If you don't get the
    helmet tested, the only time you'll find out if it's ok is when you
    really need it.
    
    Like they say, if you have a $50 head, buy a fifty dollar helmet.
        
    Mike

    Mike,
    
    That's a very good point.  I never even thought of that.  Thanks for
    the reality check.
    
    Mark

    I guess my point for Steve is, or what I would ask would be:
    
    Who sells NEW helmets in my area at a resonable price?
    
    A dealer who sells new: would be a good choice.
    A friend (or noter) who has a helmet who you can TRUST: would be ok.
    
    All else... don't jepordize yourself.  If you actually need a snell
    85 or 90 rated brainbucket, don't be afraid to spend the money.
    
    Personally I would (and did) go to a volume dealer of Motorcycles.
    I got my openfaced helmet for $150 (not that my heads worth that
    much :^)) My previous helmet I had was used up at Riverside Mass, where
    I turned my helmet (and my car) into junk.
    
    PLEASE DON'T LOWBUCK SAFETY!
    
    Regards,
    
    Mike

I bought a Snell 90 (in XL size) last summer at a local motorcycle place for $95, plus tax.

Any helmet is better than nothing, but the Snell rating is earned through some extraordinarily tough testing. The
Snell Foundation was formed due a racer getting killed due to a low quality, poorly constructed helmet.

Bruce

Somewhat local, Desjardin Supply, 1275 Grafton St.,Worcester (just off Rt. 20),
usually has some good spring deals on helmets.  Call - 508-791-2396.  

-Ken

    Thanks for all the discussion, and your points are all well taken.  The
    reason I was looking in here, as well as asking around with friends, is
    that I felt I'd trust someone here if they told me the helmet had never
    been in an accident, rather than go thru the Want Advertiser, etc.
    
    The rule change in NHRA this year says all 14.99 or quicker cars have
    to have Snell 85 or better.  I had been running my old (from back in
    '63 in Sanford) Snell 60 "shorty".  So.....that was a good reason to
    get a new helmet, which I had been thinking about anyway.  
    
    I just didn't want to get into $$$$, as it's kind of tight this year. 
    The deal Bruce (I think) got on a Snell 90 of $90 was real good, but I
    haven't seen any Snell M90, never mind SA90, for under $130-35 +
    shipping.
    
    		If anyone knows of any place specific for new helmets under
    $100, or a "virgin" used one, I'd still appreciate it.
    
    			Thanks.....all
    
    				Steve

Steve, I got my Snell 90 at SKY Cycle, on route 13, about 4 miles or so north of route 2, in
Fitchburg (I think).

Bruce

    Called SKY Cycle and was quoted a price of $89+ on the phone for an
    Snell 90 open face helmet.  Desjardins in Worcester was $110.  I'll
    stop by SKY on the way home today and let you know if it was a lo-ball
    or a real price.  I'd heard a bunch of not so good things about SKY
    back a few years ago, but, .....who knows!!
    
    
    			Steve

    Seems like the price was for real.  $89.95 for Snell M90 open face;
    brand was unknown to me - 3 initials (HJS, BDS, ???).  Found I take an
    XXL, which had to be ordered in my choice of color (Candy colors $10
    more).
    
    Surprisingly, they weren't aware that there was a SA90 classification
    as well.  Most of the one's I looked at were M90.
    
    Supposed to be in tomorrow (2-3 days).
    
    		Thanks, Bruce, for the info!!
    
    

    > Most of the one's I looked at were M90.
    Hmmm, that makes sense if you were at a Motorcycle Dealer.  "M" means
    it's rated for Motorcycle use.

        ready - I plan to use it as my commute vehicle to my new job.

        P.S.
        I read somewhere that a bunch of these were produced for Hertz to
        rent as weekend racers.  You could go to Hertz on Friday, rent one,
        take it to the race track, win with it, and bring it back to the
        rental place sunday night - can anyone confirm that?

      The Hertz/Shelby Mustang Gt was produced in only one color....black
    with gold striping. If you see a Shelby this color, it was probably one
    of the limited quanity sold to Hertz. I tried to rent one of these back
    when they were new and I remember that they were all 4 speed standards
    and you had to take a drivers test with the Hertz agent before they
    would let you have it. I was only 20 at the time so there was NWIH that
    they would let me rent one.
    
      BTW, I *don't* think you could rent them to race. They were just an
    expensive rental for road use.
    
    	Al

There are stories of Hertz Shelbys that were weekend-raced and returned with
holes in the floors from bolted-in rollbars.  I hardly imagined that Hertz
supported this use.  

Some of the stories included returning the Hertzmobile with a barely running 
half-blown engine and one case where they left the race tools in the back of 
the Shelby - Hertz called the renter and said 'Hey, you left some tools in the 
trunk' - which the owner meekly retrieved.

$25/day and .25/mile at the time - they weren't cheap to rent as rental cars
go.  I think only 400 Hertz Shelbys were produced, and it takes 35K+ or so to 
get one.  In Hemmings Motor News last year, someone was selling a "complete" 
Hertz-in-a-basket for 20K.  You assemble yourself.


steve

    This months Classic Auto Restorer has an article on the early Shelby's
    that mentions the Hertz cars. According to the article there were 1000
    GT-350H cars built, and most were automatics. There were reports of
    some having been returned with burn marks where the roll bar was welded
    in for the weekend, and some had the engine pulled and put in another
    car for a race, and then returned to the GT and brought back to Hertz. 
                                                             John M.
    

    	Not all '66 GT350(H)'s were Black & Gold. They were also available
    with Red & Gold, and I thought there was another combination, but I'm
    not positive.

    	A Shelby as a commuter, interesting. I would be very careful to
    leave that car anywhere on a regular schedule :*((.

I saw a black '67 Shelby in "Ford Trader" magazine for $25K yesterday....  I
think it was on the cover of the magazine....

    There was a '68 (??) GT500 advertised in the Want Ad last week.  I
    think it was in the Special Interest section but may have been Antique
    or Ford passenger.  Almost too cheap to believe it was an original
    GT500.  Car was in Mass.
    Also saw a Boss 302 in there at a very reasonable price.
    Wayne

There's a gorgeous red/black '68 GT500KR Convertible on consignment at a 
small used car dealer in Northboro, Ma. for a mere $50k - if that fits 
your 'daily driver' needs...


J

     
    I saw that KR, It was veerryy nice! I remember when Corvette City did
    alot of muscle cars and he had 2 KR500's and a black hertz shelby. 
        I wouldn't mind having one for a daily driver myself.
    
                    Scott

    
    GT-350H's came in a number of colors, including red, black, white, and
    green.  Perhaps there were more.  To the author of this string, I would
    urge you to do proper homework on this topic.  Any Shelby purchase will
    be an expensive proposition, and the likelihood of getting burned in a
    *serious* way is a strong possibility.  Shelby Mustangs are a game of 
    numbers.  You *MUST* know what to look for to ensure the car you buy is 
    genuine, and possessing the proper Shelby bits.  Cars missing these
    bits are worth considerably less than a proper vehicle.  May I humbly
    suggest buying a more pedestrian Mustang and then dolling it up to look
    like a Shelby?  Probably the safer route - particularly for a daily
    driver.  
    
    If you are bent on the Shelby, contact the Shelby American Club
    (located in Sharon, CT.) and get all the information possible.
    
    Its important.
    
    Tom 

    Yeah, for every genuine article, there are probably 50 fakes.
    Caveat Emptor...

    
    
      Make sure to check the tag ID's, and the Engine Code.  many fakes
    out there, or solid originals with either the wrong color paint or
    wrong engine.
    
      a friend of mine bought a beatiful documented Shelby 350 , only thing
    is that I noticed that his Beatiful RED car should actually be a 
     beautiful LIME green car.
    
      many Lime green shelby's were painted over RED because it looks nicer
    and is a definate eye catcher.
