    I have been finding some neat and interesting things to make my car a day 2 looking car. I am thinking I need a change of look for my car so I can get ambitious again with it. So far,I have a set of old style solid face Cragar front runner wheels,my Edelbrock valve covers and a non cut out older B4B intake. I have a line on some SW gauges for it as well..Any other things I should be looking for? I want to get some matching rear wheels and some other items that would fit like an open Chrome air cleaner etc.. I am not above removing the vinyl top and having the top of the car painted. I am also removing the glass front fenders and putting steels back on.

    Why are you going with the steel fenders if you already have the glass ones on there?

    I have a NOS set of fenders just waiting to be installed hanging up in my garage..I live in a high deer hitting area and sometimes get worried about hitting one.I think that's one reason I don't drive my car..

    I have a Stage 1 in my car (70 Skylark) with KB internals and a set of chrome headers. The motor had an old Erson ground cam that the cam gear was wiped out. I want to replace the newer style ignition with the Stinger setup I have. I even have a good coil and box for the Stinger.
    How hard are those wiper motors to locate? Probably like hens teeth?
