I'm curious. What percentage of these cars end up with rotten frames in you guy's experience. I have 5 or these (1 project and three parts cars) and 3 out of 5 are rotten behind the drivers front wheel. These are Alberta cars. Is this typical?

I'd really like to do some wheels on my 67. These Cragar Eliminator 500's in 17x8 really appeal to me. They really look retro 67-68 imop. I'd like some Intro brand wheels in 18, but at $2500 that's simply out of the question. These Cragars are available for around $125 or so. All aluminum, chrome. I'...

A big fan of Canadian Pontiac in Virginia (US) needs to know whether or not 8-lug wheels, hub/drums will fit on Canadian Ponticas or not. Does anyone know? I am assuming probably not because of Chevrolet running gear. Specifically looking at putting 8-lug wheels on a 1962 Strato Chief, Laurenti...

I installed all new bushings in the rear control arms and put everything back together. I went to install the rear track bar and it is about 3/4" short of connecting up to the final mounting point. None of the arms are bent and everything went in the way it came off. Any ideas?
