Interior / Classic Industries Seat Tracks...
Last post by timmycharger - April 22, 2024, 09:00:39 AMI finally got around to installing the driver's side seat tracks I bought from Classic Industries. Total price was $356.09 shipped to my door. For years I have been driving around with a damaged seat track as my original right side bracket lost the roller bearing and had the wrong hardware and springs installed.
Not a surprise but these aftermarket brackets are not very good. They are painted poorly and the paint was chipping on a few areas already just sitting in the box. I put some pics below of the comparison from the original bracket and as you can see there are subtle differences but overall they look pretty close.
They were not as tight feeling as my originals and did not come with a stud on one side like factory. The holes for the springs were not in the correct spots as you can see below. I had to drill a hole for the long spring to sit properly. I ended up only using the right bracket since my left side was still perfect, I just used the springs and hardware that came with the aftermarket set.
Once adjusted, they work like factory and I am happy with that, I probably could have just gotten a used right side bracket and fixed mine but good examples of those are getting harder to find.
Lastly, I wanted to get a bit more of a recline from my factory seat so I put a couple of washers under the front studs where it meets the floor and I really like how it is now, I feel much more comfortable than previously and it was dirt cheap.

Last post by 70 sublime - April 22, 2024, 06:46:34 AMBetter question
Is $30 000 pounds more than you have spent on it to this point to buy it and work on it ?
Would $30 000 pounds cover the price of your new toy Charger ?
I would not sell it for less than it has cost you this far for sure

Last post by Mytur Binsdirti - April 22, 2024, 06:30:58 AMConsidering it needs 80-90 large put into it plus shipping back to the US, I'd say it's worth 10 grand max.

Leon.
Maybe Mytur bought it already ?
No way Jose. Why buy someone else's botched mess at an over-inflated price?

Charger Discussion / What is my charger worth UK
Last post by Evolution69 - April 21, 2024, 09:49:37 PMHi yes another what is it worth post
Im considering putting my 68 matching no dodge charger R/T project car up for sale this summer
Ive owned the car since 2011 it was taken apart as wanted to do a full restoration.
Fast forward i was at the point where i was either going to send the shell off to get dipped or blasted and then to a restoration shop to be restored VS putting it back together and making a bad ass patina flat black hot rod out of it
HOWEVER long story short another 69 fell into my lap, and i dd love to keep the pair but I need to be sensible (i think)
The car has its FT and all body no's match, it was a true barn find, there is a video on youtube, there was an article about it from graveyard cars about how neat it was to find one so complete, all so was in a tv Add and the barn finds website
Anyway its a true factory RT matching no's 440 727 8 1/4 rear end qq1 blue, white interior, roof and bumble bee stripe.
All the big ticket items are present, block, trans, rear end, doors, fenders, hood, dash, rad, grill, fromt/back windscreen
Their are few things missing such as side glass, and serviceableparts such as shocks, exhaust.
Mostly your plastics and perishable parts have seen better days such as seats, but i have everything that came off the car
But all your big ticket items are there
Far as rust goes(we all know B bodies love to rust) its pretty decent as compared to a lot of others ive seen, but doesn't mean there isnt, any rust, your typical B body rust, small bit under drivers seat easily be patched no need for replacement floor pan, apart from that floorpans are great, your trunk floor and your inner arches (one side)and slight cancer round the back window
I have however got an AMD floor pan and inner arches that ill offer the buyer first or can work it out in the deal
We started working on the front end in covid days the k frame lower and upper arms/strut rods all chemically dipped and rebuild back to factory specs, the block, crank, engine bits all so dipped and some pieces where primer/painted
It has has had a slight shunt or backed up into something in its life at some point, There are dents scratches, bruises all over
We're putting it back together so it becomes a roller, and an inventory of parts will be made photos taken, , and allso a list of anything missing but like i said mostly complete
Oh yes and it's registered with V5 in the UK
Here is a video to give you a rough idea but ill Have my own up im the next couple of weeks as well
Ill add pics tomorrow if i can work it out
I have had a 30,000 (UK POUNDS) offer is that fair? It would help not to deal with ebay and tire kickers
But just wanted an idea on price
