I bought my first car in May 1968. I was a senior in High School. I saved up for it from working in a grocery store for 2 years. I paid $600 for a 64 Plymouth Savoy 2 door post. It was an Ex Highway patrol car with 383, Automatic, PS, PB and AC. No pictures. This started and fueled my Mopar passion.

I just looked, and evidently the body on those trucks is made from stainless steel. IF Tesla advertised them as "Made with Stainless steel, so your body will never rust", then Tesla could be looking at a massive class action lawsuit. If they were smart enough to just say, "The body is made from...

I have heard that EVs take a much bigger depreciation hit than gas vehicles. I wonder what the real numbers are.

I hear you. I know they have our safety at heart. Don't get me wrong, I am just saying that over time, people will get to the point where they may disregard the tornado sirens when the last 50 times they went off, there were no actual tornados. I am very familiar with doppler radar. I am a...

@YY1, have you ever driven a car that you just hand tightened the LH thread lug nuts on? I am not an engineer, but I took several physics classes in college. Lugs are torqued for a reason. I agree with @72bluNblu about torquing and checking lug nuts. And I agree with @oi81b4uu812b4 that the LH...

I really like his show. I agree with Brian and @mopowers when they say that the man doing the spraying is VERY important. Before I could afford good spray guns, I did some very nice paint jobs with some cheap spray guns.

Modified 340, 3.73 gears, 750 double pumper; what were you expecting? I get about 10 MPG in town with 3.55s, a 340 that is at about 375HP, headers and vac secondary carb. I have gotten 15 MPG or so on the highway at 60 MPH. Any faster and the gas milage drops. I am fine with my MPG. I did not...

Here goes. I did EVERYTHING myself. Bodywork, paint, engine rebuild, interior, etc.

Sorry, but I don't buy it.

THANKS. Trick Flow Powerpoint 190s? will current headers and intake bolt up to them?

I am from Kansas. I totally understand how dangerous tornados can be, and my heart goes out to the people who have suffered loss due to the latest breakout. I saw a tornado one time when I was stationed in Arkansas at Little Rock AFB. Let me tell you something about the tornado warning system...

I would think a 10 year old could draw something that looked better than this. Left handed and with their eyes closed. :lol::lol::lol:

I saw this Tesla truck charging at a McDonald’s on the highway. Can you say ugly? If you like them, I apologize.

I have been thinking about getting some performance heads for a while. Maybe I should have bought some Edelbrock heads before the quality went downhill. I understand that since the company was sold, quality control has left the building. I have a few questions: 1. Where are Edelbrock heads made...

So colder is better for a performance engine? I am a good mechanic and can do just about anything on a car, but I don't know much about spark plug heat ranges. I have a 69 Cuda with a 340 built to about 375 HP with 3.55 gears and a 4 speed. what heat range would be best? I usually use Autolite...

Got to disagree with you on that. There are certainly some things I won't buy from HF, but a lot of their stuff is really good. I have one of their 3" cutoff wheels that was on sale for $10, and it must be 7-8 years old. It still works great. I have several of their upgraded quality air tools...

I watch this show called Paint Society on YouTube. This guy is a magnificent painter. He works in a body shop at an Acura dealership, and he paints some very high-end cars. He recently tested the new black widow spray gun from Harbor freight. He was very impressed with it, and you should see the...

You missed a spot. Ha Ha. Seriously, It looks really good. That is an amazing idea. A few years ago, I had a big problem with sealing the housing to a new Eddy Air Gap. I tried several gaskets with several types of sealant, and I tried filing the surfaces to flatten them. I finally bought a...

Oh, I see it now.

My friend Mark is having the 327 for his 67 Camaro completely rebuilt by a local reputable performance-oriented machine shop. We took the engine there on Tuesday. The shop is beautiful. I was very impressed. When the shop owner was going over the options with Mark, he added that if he did do a...

Me too. Who (or what) is that?

Me too. I have no idea what the joke is.

It is. I always thought it would be easier if the relief was in the manifold. I always put a few small dabs of gasket sealer in the relief of the housing and then put the thermostat in the housing and give the sealant a few minutes to set up. Then install the gasket and place the housing on the...

100% agree. Ask me how I know! LOL.

Depends on what kind of Jeep you are talking about. A 40s or 50s military jeep might be expensive to restore and maintain, but I am on my 5th Jeep now. I have owned a 1995 Grand Cherokee, a 2004 Grand Cherokee, a 2007 Grand Cherokee, a 2018 Grand Cherokee and my current 2023 Gladiator. In all...

BMW = Bring Mechanic With you. Nothing against my FABO buddies who own and like BMWs, but I have known a LOT of people who have had a lot of trouble with theirs, and it is expensive!

I assume you do not have an agreed value insurance policy. It is the responsibility of HER insurance company to put your car back to the way it was. All insurance companies are required to file with the State Insurance Commission. The insurance commission has rules on what the insurance...

I'd go with 215/70/14s.

Great job. Thanks for updating us. So often we don't find out how these things end up.
