    Getting started to work on my 1974 Dart Sport. I got questions

    You said the car has sat for a decade? First thing I do is pull the gas tank, IF it had any gas, dump that, pull the pickup and use light etc to see inside tank's condition. Clean the car inside and out. Make list of all the mechanicals that probably need to be addressed for a safe ride.\ Go...

    Putting up a shop in CA - fire department being a pain

    That is why people live in the country...no zoning, build what you like, how you like, where you like...and worst thing we have is property tax people. But if you sell, be prepared for the buyer to have it "inspected" to see that it is "constructed" to meet that guys idea of correct! so the...

    So why did Biden drop how many trillion in his "inflation " bill? Why did Fed drop rates yesterday? Back when GDP was neg, 2 consecutive quarters means nothing? Just wondering.

    This place is amazing!

    Maybe what makes FABO greatness, is the N & P forum? People can go there and be ugly and not have to release all that hatred in the car threads!!!!

    ^^^^^^ The main real issue I see was the out of control Biden spending trying to prop up the economy and stay out of a recession.

    How have I ever survived here in Tx. or Mo.? Rural volunteer fire department, old (ancient) equipment, NO hydrants, no silly fees and BS costs, redneck firefighters... how in the heck do they ever put out a fire? :BangHead:

    Have you ever lost

    I have been in the hobby since early 80's and have owned a lot of Mopars. They always would come and go. Never could keep them all! I guess the "hunt" was always exciting and kept my interest up. Finding a "new" project has always been a rush!!!! (disease???). But as decent project cars...

    Please Help Me - Posting for my 70 year old grandfather

    ^^^^Like said, a good upholstery shop can make great covers, but if the oem had the little embossing, then picking Legendary is a no brainer!!! If they can get the correct grain and color in the vinyl. I still wonder what the turn around time is for Legendary now days.? Legendary has always...

    Please Help Me - Posting for my 70 year old grandfather

    Legendary's will be correct as to original oem as to material and build. If not installed correctly and repair bad springs, etc they will not be right! Legendary got way behind during covid, did they ever get caught up?? A GOOD upholstery shop can made correct covers if they source the right...

    Swinging for Divorce…

    I agree, I still drive my old 60 odd year old classics like what they are..60 year old classics. Only traffic here is the 1 traffic light, there for when the schools let out and that 1 stop sign at that little town down the road. But I always stay far enough behind I can stop, and I always...

    Swinging for Divorce…

    I have project cars that did not cost that much!!!!!! But really, I agree, always buy the best tool that you can afford and that makes sense..It makes a difference IF the guy will be in the hobby for decades with many cars, or if he is a 2 week wonder, will buy a project and just take it apart...

    I have never had the good tool, and like said, the cheap one is BAD for an unskilled flare guy like myself!!!!! I can't always buy the pre bent stuff and when I can't, this old man just cries!!! At your age Doc, I would buy the good tool and practice for what it takes. Good tools last a lifetime!
