Individual 440 piston ring replacement.

I’ve got a 76 motorhome 440 with a seriously seized ring. The guy I bought it from says mice pissed in the cylinder but I’m pretty sure thats not possible considering the amount of rust I had to bore…

Reproduction Frame rail installation

We’ve finally got to installing the driver’s side frame rail on my 70 Challenger. I bought a Sherman frame rail thinking that it would be better than the off brand torsion bar crossmember I bought but it was made by the same company “CHL”. Either way the frame rail is isn’t sliding into place. It’s about 1/8th of an inch of and I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to get it all the way in.

70 challenger bending frame rails

The front frame rails bent away from the torsion bar cross member on my 70 challenger when i was away on spring break. What should i do? I need to replace the frame rails anyway but i cant build a jig if the frame rails are already out of position.
