Yep, 68 Formula S, 383, 4 speed, Convertible, second owner. I have a giant chunk of bronze that came off a train axle I use to beat on, it's a little softer than steel.Yes, for some reason, on a bench, or next to/worked on a vice, parts sometimes just need a good WACK! Even though hard the oak won't bugger up the metal part. I keep some 1" plate steel handy when it needs real beating, but not quite on the anvil.
P.S. Rarefish, you must be a Mopar guy? My best friend has a 67 formula S 383, and a 70 440 4-spd, Dana, track pack.
