    Winter will soon return :(

    I agree with most of what you said, except for the last sentence. I agree that you cannot intentionally cause water to drain into the next lot. for instance, you cannot put a ten-foot extension on your downspout and point it directly at your neighbor's house. Nor could you channel downspout...

    Winter will soon return :(

    Screw your neighbor!!! It's just frozen water. He should be thanking you for the extra moisture you are giving his lawn. Tell him that if he doesn't like it, he can call the police. And they, of course, will tell him to get a life. I have a 24" wide self propelled snow blower. It works fine. I...

    Hood clearance question

    @GTX JOHN is probably right. I have a 69 Barracuda with a 340. I put an Air Gap and a 750 CFM Eddy carb on it. My clearance was close, so I went with a 2" or 2.5" tall (I really don't remember) K&N filter. The guy at K&N told me that it would outflow the 3" paper element. Everything worked fine...

    Long Johns Silvers batter recipe

    Thanks. I used to really like LJS. There were 4 or 5 in Topeka, now there is only one. It got to the point where when you entered the place, the floor was a bit slick from grease, the salt and pepper shakers were slick and sticky with a layer of grease, the bottles of malt vinegar were slick and...

    Any Jeep technicians out there?

    No. They were both under the right front seat. It took me about an hour to R&R both batteries. @68cuda408 gave a good explanation of the process in post #25. Thanks @68cuda408, that was a great explanation.

    4 Headlights or 2 Headlights; opinions needed.

    @413, you are only half right. The next words out of that person's mouth would be, "But it had a factory Hemi." :rofl: :rofl:

    Any Jeep technicians out there?

    I had a 2018 Grand Cherokee with the V6 and that Auto Start/Stop function. It didn't bother me, because I don't mind saving gas and money, but my wife hated it. It had two batteries under the passenger's front bucket seat. I replaced them both in 2023. It was somewhat of a pain. The start/stop...

    4 Headlights or 2 Headlights; opinions needed.

    @Sir Ken, Would I do it to my car? No. I like the 2 headlight look on my 69 Barracuda. That being said, I rather like your idea. I think people should do what they want to do to their cars. If I saw it at a car show, I would be very interested to talk to you about it. How you did it, what parts...

    I am so looking forward to winter, and hot summer days being gone.

    In the past, I have always preferred summer because everything I like to do is outside. Working on cars, bodywork, rust repair, painting, yard work, etc. I never had a problem with the heat. The last few summers, I have gotten more susceptible to the heat. For the first time in years, I am...

    funny pictures

    OK, I really, really hate to admit this, but I think I am among friends. I have been putting bolts in cardboard for years when I paint them. About 12 years ago, when I painted the Barracuda with base/clear F8 green, I had a whole lot of bolts to paint green. Hood bolts, decklid bolts, fender...

    New to Fabo

    Welcome. A second-generation Barracuda. I like it! Once you post some pictures, share your thoughts on what you plan to do with it. Also, keep us posted on your progress. Will you be able to do most of the work yourself?

    Are there any experienced beer drinkers here?

    I was never much of a Budweiser fan. I just don't like it. When I drink beer, I like Blue Moon with a few slices of orange. The colder the better.

    Painting engine in engine bay?

    Join the club on trying to do things the easy way. It is a bit of work, but certainly easier than pulling the engine. @coloradohill, @413 and @jbc426 beat me to the gun in telling you the importance of getting the engine CLEAN. Now I am going to tell you how important it is to mask. Overspray...

    My plans for my 69 Dart Swinger 340

    I believe (and I bet that most on the forum will agree) that disc brakes are a big improvement over drums. They will stop a car in a shorter distance. I added disc brakes to my 69 340 4 speed Barracuda, and I think it is the best upgrade I have made to it. Now I will agree that drum brakes do...

    Great guy award of the week.

    I also have used many things from DMT on my 69 Barracuda. It's good to know that great people are behind those great parts.

    Almost lost a wheel

    I have seen some billet spacers/adapters over the years. I would assume they need to have torque checked also, but do you think they would be better than the ones that look like they are made out of cast pot metal?

    Almost lost a wheel

    All good points. I was 19 at the time, and the spacers/adapters were installed at the tire shop where I bought the 4.5" bolt pattern mag wheels. Nobody told me about retorquing them, and back then I knew no better.

    Almost lost a wheel

    Well, all y'all can think what you want. Many, many years ago, I had a 69 Barracuda with properly installed and torqued spacers. 4" bolt pattern wheels like O wanted did not exist. One of the front ones got loose and the wheel started to wobble. Fortunately I pulled over quickly, and there was...

    Leaf springs flat - 69 Barracuda

    Nice car. I have seen 69 Fastbacks in orange, and it just did not work for me, but that notch in orange is nice.

    First social media post

    Welcome from Kansas. Social Media? Is this forum considered social media? I absolutely refuse to do Fake Book, Twitter, Tic Toc etc. To me that is social media. If this forum is considered social media, I think I will call it an automobile related news network website.

    Lone Ranger and Tonto

    The Lone Ranger and Tonto are riding in the desert. The Lone Ranger says, “Tonto did you **** your pants?” Tonto says “No Kemp Sabe.” A little while later the Lone Ranger says, “Tonto are you sure you didn’t **** your pants?” Tonto says, “No Kemo Sabe.” That night when they are camping Tonto...

    More parts painted for the 56 Studebaker Powerhawk

    So many of my friends on this forum have enjoyed pictures of the progress on my friend’s 56 Studebaker, I thought I would post these pictures. After five or six years of bodywork, rust repair, we are finally getting it painted. The fenders doors, hood and decklid and other big parts are all...

    Anyone know anything about Subarus?

    I can tell you that used Subarus are like used BMWs, Mercedes and Audis. When they are running well, they are great, but when they need repair, you will pay BMW, Mercedes and Audi money. The WRX is a great platform, and the engine is its heart and soul. If he cannot handle the complete rebuild...
