Re: Cuban Missle Crisis!!!

Batfastard I had an electrical specialist rewire the vehicle NOT a stereo shop. This guy has done work for countless show and street cars. I tried contacting you when the car almost caught fire, but apparently you didn’t want to deal with questions. The bottom line is the wiring going into the fuse ...

Re: Cuban Missle Crisis!!!

It took 7 months to get them but they match the car ...

Re: Cuban Missle Crisis!!!

Thanks man...do you know if it is twin-scroll? Any idea the model number of the turbo? I think it is twin-scroll as it appears to have dual wastegates. I am not sure why you cannot see the pic. If you follow me on Instagram my name is @squirreldinner and I posted a pic of the rack there. https://far...

Re: Cuban Missle Crisis!!!

Hi All, I am the new owner of this car and just like DonnieDatsun said, it is impressive to drive. About 12 hours after taking ownership, the fuel pump started dying. I put in an in-tank high flow pump capable of up to 600hp and it is quiet as a mouse now. I have an appointment to get the interior r...

WARNING about Hagerty insurance

Long rant, but worth the read. I have had Hagerty since I bought my car. I drive in arizona and use my dime as a semi-daily driver. Living in AZ, there are a lot of pebbles being kicked up which causes glass breakage. In the last year I had two windshields replaced and had to get a tow as my alterna...

Re: New Here! Pics of my '71 Franken Dime

Re: New Here! Pics of my '71 Franken Dime

Those seats are awesome! Do the headlights work (as in project a useable beam that doesn't blind?) Yes they do work and don't blind others. They have the h4 conversion. I am actually planning to go back to circle headlights in the next few days. I have all the pieces, I just need to install them.
