It is too bad that you haven't been able to connect with any of the right people to help you with your car. They are out there. This club is also a great resource. 

As you can tell, most of the folks here think it is best to keep your car original. It seems, though, that with that many things to fix/repair, you would be better off spending your hard earned cash getting those things done rather than shaving off the door handles, changing the car to 12 volts, and installing a remote control locking device. As cool as that may be, it wouldn't really make the car more drivable.

>Well the only thing is that it is so hard to get parts for this car. I mean it is in great shape but there is only so much you can do with it. I am only 25 so maybe I can't appriciate what the car really means but I know that I have been searching for things for the car for a long time. For example. The car is a clutch-o-matic. There is a slight problem in the tranny. The clutch works but you can push the pedal all the way to the floor. I can't find anyone who knows a thing about it. The same with the engine. It is a 331 Hemi. I just want to paint the heads and clean it up but no one knows enough about it to help. ?And in the condition it is in, I am afraid to drive it because I dont want to do any damage to it. When my grandpa had it appraised in 2000(the car was 49) it was valued at 10000 dollars, but I have no use for a car that is just going to sit around. I believe it needs to be driven. So that is why I want to do the custom work to it so I can have it the way I really want it. ?
