    Any fender replacing advice?

    How long did you leave it like that for? My car is parked outside for now, I'd like to clean up behind the fender and repair a few areas while it's off.

    Pinion angle shims

    Ok, got my digital angle finder and did some measuring. With the angle finder zeroed out off the slip yoke on the tranny side, the rear is pointing up around 3.5 degrees in relation to the tranny. Too much?

    Pinion angle shims

    It's a t56, and at first I thought the vibration was either clutch or tranny internal related. But after having driveshaft balanced, 99% of the vibration is gone. I'm just nit picking now, as I think it could be better after realizing I might not need these shims.

    Advice on door swap

    There seems to be a bit of play in those plates the hinge bolts to inside the door. Is that going to be a problem?

    Advice on door swap

    So the time has come to ditch the rotted doors in my 79 :( I have 2 new (to me) doors in great shape....but no hinges on them. Here is where I need some guidance. Do I just unbolt the doors from the hinges and swap? Or Do I pull the door pins, separate door from car, put half of hinge on...
