It should be noted from that posted picture of the two different years of rocker mouldings, that nice originals will NOT have those holes drilled in them. The bottom 71 picture is what they should be like, if they have not been "abused" by someone too lazy to find the correct clips for them.

Last post by Mark_B - Today at 09:35:30 AMHi All,
Does anyone know what size front wheels bearings are needed for a stock 1970 340 Challenger please? The car has standard hubs / drums all around.
Rockauto are showing 3 sizes, 9" 10" and 11". Not sure which one and manufacture to order.

Tools and Equipment / I hate welding ... unless it i...
Last post by tparker - Today at 12:17:43 AMUgh. I'm wrapping up the last few things until I get the car on the road for the first time 30+ years. I got Dougs headers and TTI exhaust and they require a little fabrication to hook up. Hooker headers (I think) lined up just fine. I made an 'S' curve from a 90 degree tube. Man do I sick at welding. BUT it is worse when the equipment is jacked up. Here's the run down.
The welds have bunch of pin holes. Every time I grind the weld down I have little holes that go through the joint. I keep welding and more holes. Then wire starts to bird nest inside the machine. Ugh. I fix it then after some troubleshooting I find the gauges aren't really working. Do I have gas running through the leads? Over a couple welding sessions I forget to turn the gas back on, so I didn't have gas. Then things get bird nested again. Then the wire welds to the tip. A trip to Home Depot for tips. More bird nesting. More pin holes. Ugh. A bunch of videos later on Youtube then I start figuring out some problems. The wire pressure is off. The wire isn't in the groove of the feeding wheel. Some other things. ugh. It all happens again. More welding, more pin holes. Some Better test welds, then it fails when welding. Oh wait, again I forget to turn on the gas. I'm an idiot. I'm Done.
One last video. I think I understand everything. THis thing is actually simple. It can only be a couple things. Again bird nesting and, wait, what is that? The part of the lead that connects to the inside of the feed of the welder appears to be pulled out a bit and I can see an O ring. Just like a previous video mentioned.
I look at the o ring and there is a cut/crack in it. I pull it all apart and replace the o ring and what do you know. I get some great test welds. 
Then I start welding again and it is dark and full of pin holes. Oh wait, I forgot to turn on the gas again, was using the last of gas in line for test welds. Then, holy music playing from heaven, I get a decent weld. Insert that pic of the baby doing the "yeah" thing with with the fist! I still suck at welding, but at least it is just my problem and not the gear any more. LOL. I welded the next piece in 20 minutes instead of 3 days. LOL.
