Quick Question: Subframe connectors- WHY didn't they do this from the factory?
American made vehicles all had full frames for many years. Most recent example I've personally seen was 66 Impala.
No..GM was making and selling to the north American public uni bodies as early as late '56.
This quality thing is personal...especially what these guys make $, they could do a proper weld...you are doing a major disservice to your self saying fu*k this car..I'll just push it together because it is only being a grocery getter ? Is that why so many autoworkers use to leave stuff in the doors, etc ?
If the duster was just a grocery getter, than what was the '76 Toyota Carolla ?
Neon ? Seriously ? perhaps you should look at the neon thread on this site.
We regularly put 225K miles on a car before we sell. We have done it three times over the last 20 odds year or so. She also must have awd or 4wd because some of the roads she travels are pretty snowy..We have a friend that put more on his Yukon but he could have bought our car in the process.
Even though I liked the mopars, I went into another type of car because they could handle and turn. Now we have the technology to modify these cars so they can do the same..
This was probably the time America lost it first place as a manufacturing nation..
