    [WANTED] 68gts tail finish panel

    Wanted: are there any more trunk finish panels stashed for the 68 gts. I've got a old drag car (real gts) that needs one badly. Nice but not perfect would be great. Thanks.

    Bump steer issues

    I put a 426 hemi in my '68 dart and had to drop the drag link to clear the 2 1/4"x4" headers. Now the car bump steers. I need to drop the outer tie rods 1" or so. I thought about replacing the outer ball joint with a heim joint and putting a 1"spacer between the steering arm on the hub and heim...

    2013 Shelby GT500 gets 662 HP - beats Viper & Vette

    My '68 Dart would kick it's butt in the 1/4. No blower either, just a cross-ram. Also, a new mustang won't turn my head, but a new Challenger will, big time.

    Medical marijuana

    My wife got cancer, and got the card here in mich. To hell with the high dollar pharmaceutical companies she says ($50.00 a pill) . The MM helps with pain, anxiety, sleep, mood, seems to be a wonderful herb, not a drug and you don't have to smoke it. But from what I've seen smoking it is a lot...

    You just THOUGHT your cars were expensive

    E.J. Potter looks like a Mopar man. That guy was/is amazing(I think he's still alive!?). Maybe the first v-8 motorcycle, direct drive of course. His book would be a good read me thinks.

    That's right, I wear overalls.

    I got some bernie's bibs for 30 bucks a couple of months ago at family farm and home, love 'em. They are very comfy and plenty of room for insulation underneath when needed. There is just that one extra step , and that is keeping the straps out of the toilette when you drop them (bibs) for...

    How 'bout the guy that knows where there's a garage full of complete hemis for sale for cheap, or magnessium crossrams and holley race carbs, but never calls with contact info, like that was gonna happen. One local guy was telling me about his wheelie pulling a100 van with the 426 hemi in...

    Clutch vs. Electric Fan

    What gear?

    Personally, I think the gear you have sounds great. A steep gear on the street just plain sucks. You can have just as much fun with your 355's at the strip, you still have to have a good reaction time and run on your index,(very exiting and tricky stuff). Tell you the truth, the 320's in my...
