Ugly Car#2
Posted on: Monday May 14, 2018
I installed new clutch hydralics this weekend along with a brake master cylinder. I figured a few things out so I am going to share them. #1- Getting that lower clutch master bolt out. Don't waste the time,pull the pedal box. It takes about 10 minutes that way. The nut is so close to the body of the clutch master that an open end wrench is the only way to get it off. #2 On a 1500 or at least the 78-79 models you can't bleed the clutch system off the car then install it. Why? because the...

The engine seems to be in decent shape no rattles or knocks holds good oil pressure and does...
New Top
Posted on: Sunday May 29, 2016
Given the amount of area the top covers I decided the first major purchase for the car would be a new top. I looked around for about 2 weeks and just did not see how they could cost so much. I did find one that was for sale on e-bay for 200 so I took a chance and brought it. Come to me in exactly the condition described and with all the necessary parts. After checking around I realized that replacing it was a pretty simple process. To be honest has long has you follow the directions it's not...
