    68 Cuda fastback suspension rebuild...

    I also have a 68 Cuda, unfortunately mine is still under a tarp due to current time and money constraints. I used to own an Isuzu Trooper 4x4 and hang out on a forum like this. They also use torsion bars for the front suspension and although I never had a need to do it, several members...

    How to save the airlines!

    HOW TO SAVE THE AIRLINES Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place. Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell -- They don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss? The strippers would at least triple the alcohol...

    F-body Interchange?

    My understanding is that everything but the upper A-arms will work for the LBP disk brake swap for the earlier A bodies. Jay

    Why Mopar

    My first car was a '67 Camaro. Nice, but a dime a dozen. Was going to upgrade to a new Camaro in '74 (dating myself!), but didn't like the body style change. Looked at what else was out there new and fell in love with the '74 Challenger. Bought one new, drove and loved the heck out of it...

    A P.C. holiday...

    LOL, I didn't write it, I posted it for the absurdity of what the Christmas season has become. I refused to go to my office party this year as they renamed it our 'Holiday Party' because someone objected... Phooey on political correctness! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! Jay

    Retirement

    I actually passed my eligibility for retirement two years ago, but one of my girls opted for grad school after she got her BA, so dad's still working and cutting checks for college instead of car parts. She is pulling a 3.8 average though...makes it a little easier. Jay

    Bumpers on 74 A-body

    Not sure about the bumper itself, but I was looking for a car in '73, wound up buying a '74 model (Challenger! :love4: Wish I'd have kept it!). As far as the bumpettes, in '73 the feds required 5 MPH impact bumpers front and 2.5 MPH rear (IE, supposed to absorb that level of impact without...

    Wiring Harness

    If you're not looking for a restoration product, I would recommend the Painless harnesses. I rewired a friend's '73 Dodge Powerwagon with one and it was time consuming, but pretty straight forward. A Mopar specific product would be nice (I would buy one for my Barracuda) as we had to get...

    If Not an A-bodie Than What Would it be?

    Second that! I started out to look for one when I decided to get back into hot rods, saw the prices and wound up with the '68 Cuda! Jay

    What do you guys think - New look for the 318?

    I'll second that. I like the dual snorkle set up too! Jay

    3.3 and 3.8 V6's, MUST READ FOR ALL!

    Another option (if you don't feel you're getting anywhere with a particular dealer) is to bump it up the food chain. There will be a regional manufacturers representative that oversees all the franchises for a state or several states. They don't have to defend the original diagnosis, but are...
