Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
Guys, I'm parting out the car in my sig. So if anyone in Mass needs parts then let me know. Shipping shouldn't be to bad if it stays in the state. Car has too much rot on the floors and firewall to repair.
I posted up some of the parts in the classifieds section here so check them out.

Imperial Auto in Wilmington. A good friend of mine is Imperial's paint supplier (A.B.S.A.P) and I've heard that they do amazing work. I went by the shop last week and it was one of the cleanest booths I've ever seen.

I'm hoping he says to drop off the parts this week and have it back together by early next week but we'll see. Then I'm around to start cruising with you guys.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
I have a guy I know in Wilmington who doesn't specialize in transmissions but does real good work. The shop name is "Auto Repair Guy". What are you looking to get done?

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
Eventually i will probobally need to have work done, i have to cover my basics on the tranny. but its strange, it shifts pretty good up to 4th, but when i punch it in 4th it doesnt grab a gear. i figured i could go to a good tranny guy and get his input on it.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
Yeah, I help the owner out and work up at his shop in my spare time. His name is Steve and he definitely knows his stuff. I'd recommend him if you need anything. Are you in Peabody?

Just a little 'teaser' pic-if you will. Got everything back from paint and will be buttoning everything up tomorrow. Here she is after I pulled her out of my garage earlier this evening.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
Is there anyone in the North shore area with a 4" cowl hood? Ive got my 454 single turbo big block running but the intake wont fit under a stock hood. Im trying to figure out whether or not I can get by with a 4" cowl or not (would still have to be modded for the turbo) so anyone with some spare time let me know. All I really need to do is some measurements. Thanks!
Oh and +1 for SV, I'll be having my car dyno'd there soon, Steve & Pops are great guys.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
Not in my case... My suspension is not stock either... Any decent shop that deals with any kind of performance should have no problem aligning my front end. A flat plane is a flat plane.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
Oh wait, I forgot... You're right! My left front tire is 15" wide and is square with a triangular edge... What am I going to do? Also my right steering knuckle if from a 70s Ford truck... Do you think it can be done?
