    Glasstek or VFN 4" cowl hood

    I was thinking about getting these for my hood pins, they look TOUGH, besides if they can hold the hood on a 100+ mph off road vehicle, holding one on mine should be a breeze autofab

    Glasstek or VFN 4" cowl hood

    Qdub24, it took 2 weeks for them to get it to me from the day I called, I didn't purchase it off eBay, instead I called and talked to the manager Rob and asked if they could give me a better deal instead of going threw eBay and the seller/paypal fees. He was cool with, I saved a few bucks and...

    Glasstek or VFN 4" cowl hood

    Here's the pics I haven't had a chance to try and get it completely out of the box for a test fit as it has not stopped raining long enough to let me. I actually ordered the hood from the discount place called Tamraz's that sell the GlassTek hoods. The manager there told me that they buy...

    Glasstek or VFN 4" cowl hood

    Well, I ordered the GlassteK hood, I saw that they made a 5" for the Malibu so I asked about getting a 5" for the Regal but the 5" one for a Regal is a custom piece and would cost over $600 to have it made as to where the one for the Malibu is one they already have a shell for and only costs the...

    Glasstek or VFN 4" cowl hood

    I have decided to get a 4" cowl hood but having difficulties on deciding from which company to purchase from.

    86 Regal A pillar aluminum filler?

    I know that they mix aluminum and tin together to make "lead free" solder that's for wiring, and Its not lead because its not a dead metal, its not soft enough to be. I am betting aluminum and tin but I got more than a coins worth of it, I will just put filler around it and hope for the best.

    86 Regal A pillar aluminum filler?

    I have been working on stripping my roof to get it prepped for some paint and as I was using a knotted wire wheel with my angle grinder I slowly started coming off the top and down the side of the A pillar and all of a sudden, something caught yanking the grinder to the side FAST.....almost like...

    GM pilot bushing/ roller bearing I.D. #'s

    O.K. I had decided to do this thread because as I was 100% certain I was going to use the pilot roller bearing instead of the bushing because it just made more sense that bearings are better. After receiving the wrong part (got needle bearings instead of a pilot roller bearing) I started doing...

    Not to Grenade! ........., thought about running the Hypo's (because of how cheep they are) but 75% of most "newer" threads I read are all negative about them, besides forged are stronger so for just around $100 more than the Hypo,s I can get the Forged. I might run sum N2O in the future, not...

    O.K. I have been searching and looking around here for a while to find out what kind of piston I should use for my sbc build. I was going to go with the speed pro hypereutectics but it seems that most find these to be at the bottom of the barrel for a good build. I am doing like most people and...
