So, it totally depends on the undercoat in question. If it's set up nice and stiff, the needle gun works great. Keep it at a really shallow (30*) angle and go nuts. If the undercoat is still pliable or soft at all, the needles will just smoosh it around and make a mess. The Mustang I just...

Nice looking ride. Keep up the good work. I have one that I've been wanting to finish up and get on the road for quite a while. Life gets in the way if you're not careful. Also, I dig the R, but it's got one too many wheels. ;-)

I thought the term for the technique described was "crop dusting".

Ran before last parked

You're not alone. I did the same thing with my '68 Cougar. Swapped batteries, battery cables, changed the starter relay, went nuts on that thing. Then I realized that the floor shifter was loose and wasn't shoved all the way into Park. *facepalm* I spent about 2 hours screwing around...

The thumbnail of the starter button was supposed to be a video of the engine firing in the Dart, but for some reason it's not working properly. Maybe next time.

I know it's been a very, very, depressingly long time since I updated this thread, but the time has come. Since my last post, I got the Eddy intake installed, an Eddy 800CFM carb, got a big ol' aluminum radiator in, got the gas tank in, threw a battery in, got the dash mounted and test fired...

I just got done building that redwingsteel.com rotisserie. First victim will be my buddy's mustang, so if anything goes wrong, nothing important gets damaged. ;-) That's one beefy unit if you follow the plans. I can see it holding the complete car, but I'm also guessing it's going to be a...

I have a /6 radiator out of a '71 Swinger for sale. Upgraded to a big ol' aluminum one for my 440 and can't really use this one. It's in good shape, just not what I need. Not sure what it's worth, so make an offer. Part is located in Benson, NC 27504.

I need a right front fender extension. Mine has all the studs broken off. Assuming yours comes off without getting broken, how much shipped to 27504?

Here's my contribution. 440/727 '71 Swinger. Started out as a pile of parts with an empty engine bay and a /6 K-frame: Looking better... Now it needs an engine. Hrm.... Engine going in: Now she's running and it's time to get the interior parts, find a driveshaft and install the...

THIS!!!!! Following the theme of a couple other posts, the only vintage mopar guys who get less respect than you are the C-body guys!

I have to vote for the up-from-the-bottom method as well. Transmission, 440, headers, steering, accessories - all installed in just a few minutes on my patio (note: It got dark while I was inside having dinner). I've done plenty of "in-from-the-top" installs and I'll never do it again. The...

Whilst we're on the topic, my 71 dart still has its wimpy little 7 1/4 rear end that came with the original /6. If I find (or have made) a shaft to connect this little rear end to my 440/727, will I have to start over with a new driveshaft when I put a real rear under the car? I guess put...

My next pistol will probably be a Rock Island 1911. I couldn't go 1911 just yet, though. First I had to bring these guys home. Witness .45 in wonder finish and Witness Hunter 10mm. The witnesses are all great shooters but the hunter should prove to be astounding. Here's a look at the first...
