    I need to go fight with a door on a 65 Coronet today. Lock button is up. Inside handle moves as it should. Thumb button on outside works as it should. But it absolutely won't open. Going to be a good time I'm sure.

    A car I bought wrecked back in 2001. I put a rear clip on it, gave it a paint job, and sold it for a tidy profit.

    [WANTED] 70-71 Dart Jack hook

    Right. But I'm saying that with the 70 style jack and hook, there should be no need to modify it.

    Your first mopar...?

    1970 Coronet 4 door, FE5 with black interior that I bought in 1983 at age 11. Paid a whopping 20 dollars for it with no transmission and the 318 laying in the trunk. Plan was to get it together for when I turned 16. Discovered that it had frame rot issues and decided to part it out rather than...

    [WANTED] 70-71 Dart Jack hook

    Check the bottom edge of your rear bumper. Good chance it still has the notches for the hook. I know a 73 Scamp rear bumper I have has both the slots for the 72 up style jack as well as the notches for the 70 hook.

    Here in central PA, we say that it's great to have 4 seasons, but it sucks when they're all in the same week sometimes.

    Carter AVS 4611s too far gone ?

    I'd love to see what it would look like soda blasted. I've cleaned some pretty ugly carbs, but that looks sketchy even by my standards

    Is there a junkyard gem slant six combo?

    I'm probably using the 67 pistons, just assuming more compression. But I'm looking for insight on block, head, crank, rods, etc.... What's wrong with the 1920 carb? It's been several years since I ran one, but I always thought they were about the best 1 barrel ever put on a slant. Only one...

    Is there a junkyard gem slant six combo?

    I'm looking to build a slant six for one of my future projects. In my current inventory, I have 225s from the following years... 1967 1972 1975 1976 1979 Super Six 1980 Jasper reman 1983 So, my question is basically, is there any year that is better than others as far as block, crank, pistons...

    Still trying to figure out what AAWJ means on engine block.

    I was always told it had something to do with the specific iron makeup, as far as nickel content, etc. But I have no way to verify that. Might be something to it, or it might just be a legend I've heard for nearly 40 years.

    I saw my first Tesla truck today.

    I thought 1990s Playstation games had better graphics. Even a door stop has nicer lines

    I saw my first Tesla truck today.

    Looks like it would be a pain to actually haul anything in

    Anybody have any suggestions on what strut type front suspension and steering would be good in a street driven tube chassis car? Definitely want to stick with Mopar stuff, and prefer something that can easily be found in salvage yards.

    I've probably dreamt up enough good redneck fun and outrageous builds for ten people. One thing is certain, if I ever hit Powerball, the world will not be a safe place.
