I've heard that about all of the big GMs from like 80 on up used basically the same front end except for the mid 90's Impalla SS and Cop car...
They really wouldn't like to hear that I run electronic ignition either!
There's too many bagged cars on here to have nobody running a similar system. Honestly, how traditional are air bags anyway? It's all about...
I'm not ready for it yet but I didn't know if anyone was using, or had any opinions on the autopilot digital air ride system. I have been...
The shop next to Yantis is his old shop and is now his son-in-law's.
He's from shelbyville. His son-in-law and his grandson still have shops there, although more just collision shops. My mom went to school with...
I'm with murfman on this one. I have had a couple of mopars from that era and they ride nice and are easy to maintain and still get parts for. I...
Mine worked for about a year or so and then the needle broke off and is rattling around inside. I have left it in there because I like to look of...

I have a 55 Desoto that I drive daily and a 53 Desoto that I am starting this winter. I also finished a 51 Plymouth for my wedding about 5 years ago.
I started doing this to my Desoto. The scotchbrite worked well but I ended up not liking it. It doesn't look like suede enough for me and it...

Well brake wise try AAJ Brakes. They have a website and are easy to work with. Basic kit should run around $200 but you still have to by the...
Indiana's are flat and all the one's I have gotten recently have still been aluminum. It makes it really nice to form them around your roll pan...

Welcome. I'm from Shelbyville. I used to have a 51 just like it so I know a little about them. I may also have some extra parts laying around,...
