    impact of modern muscle cars on the old car market

    After 30 years of owning classic muscle, last year I left all of that behind and ordered a 2018 Challenger Scat Pack, exactly that way I wanted it. I have zero regrets. My neighbor kid (20 years old), doesn't give a damn at all about old muscle. All he cares about is boost, bagging and a...

    Frustrated with inability to do body work!

    All you are doing with the wax and grease remover (or water) is giving the surface a temporary gloss so you can see how your body work is coming along. I use a pump up bottle and spray a fine mist to give an even gloss. It will just evaluate off if you do nothing, but it's best to wipe off the...

    Frustrated with inability to do body work!

    Just remember, if the metal is flexing while you are blocking, you are making waves. Let the paper do the work. You will likely need to prime and block several times.

    Great looking A-body at SEMA

    Not working for me at all.

    What are you doing this evening?

    Watching the neighbors wife take a shower, with my binoculars. Same thing I do every Thursday night.

    Many New Cars Have No Spare Tires

    A spare was a $295 option on my 2018 Scat Pack. In fact, the lack of spare tires has created new businesses like... Performance Spare

    My new, 2018 Challenger Scat Pack is finally here.

    After a day with the Scat Pack, it's even better than I expected.

    My new, 2018 Challenger Scat Pack is finally here.

    The mustang is my wife's car, and no, we didn't trade it in. It's an 07, GT, 5 Speed. She loves it.

    Rest In Peace Tony Fields

    I'm so sad to hear this.

    Blew 200 bucks, and "yes" it was Horrid Freight

    You are about right on the price. Some smaller boxes are less but they have crazy boxes that can run double the that. The SnapOn boxes and other premium boxes are really very nice, extremely solid and hold some retail and trade in value. My coworker's SnapOn box has remote keyless entry, just...

    Blew 200 bucks, and "yes" it was Horrid Freight

    I use a $400 Craftsman box, professionally. It's great and I saved $8,000 over a similarly sized StrapOn box. Even if I had to replace my Craftsman box every year, I would still be money ahead for the next 20 years.

    Scat Pack Cars

    In the new cars, it's a different but similar theme. Low option big engine. Although most option them up, defeating the purpose. In its l least expensive form, a modern Scat Pack has cloth interior, the standard audio system, and standard equipment similar to the least expensive model.

    Caliber SRT-4. Buy or pass on it?

    Yes, the build quality is poor at best.

    Caliber SRT-4. Buy or pass on it?

    I work on cars for a living.

    Caliber SRT-4. Buy or pass on it?

    You would be better off giving the cash to a stranger. The reason you don't see many of those on the road anymore is because they were total garbage, and they are all in wrecking yards. Brand loyalty is absurd when picking a daily driver, get the most reliable car within your budget.

    What Primer To Use?

    Don't use any 1k (non catalyzed) primer.

    My new, 2018 Challenger Scat Pack is finally here.

    That's one of the cool things about ordering one, the window sticker has your name on it. My wife has her Mustang GT and I have my Challenger.

    Black "Paint" On Repopped Panels

    Exactly. Some of it just looks like e-coat.

    My new, 2018 Challenger Scat Pack is finally here.

    Sadly, the 392ci cars with a manual transmission get hit with that tax.

    I think I'm going to really enjoy this.

    Temp gauge problems.

    Have you verified that your car isn't just running cold? A thermostat stuck open or a missing thermostat could cause a low reading.

    68 barracuda 340 dash

    No such thing as a "340 Dash". All 68 Barracuda dashes are the same other than option specific differences. A 340 car could have had a dash that was identical to a slant 6 dash.

    Frustrated with inability to do body work!

    You just need to get it close enough for a high build primer (which is fairly close). Careful blocking of the primer is what makes a car straight.

    Solid roller cam wiped out

    That's what I did when a lifter failed. Pulled the whole engine apart.

    Highest LIft cam with 68 340 with stock intake and carb

    He doesn't "need" to do anything unless he wants it faster. It's already a low 13, high 12 car. But yes, headers would be the first step in making it faster. Next, would be the Victor 340 and Holley 800, because he already owns those and they will work fine.

    Highest LIft cam with 68 340 with stock intake and carb

    They are the Original X heads that have some work done on them. The work was done professionally but was done while the previous owner had it so I can't give specifics. Harland Sharp rockers.

    Highest LIft cam with 68 340 with stock intake and carb

    The Victor 340, Holley 800 coupled with Drag Radials and Headers, will make the car brutally fast. Right now the car can destroy the E70-14s. If you put the Victor 340 and Holley 800 on, it will still destroy the E70-14s. That's the information provided above, in a nutshell. And that was my...

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    I will reply to this because it was my car for 14 years. Yes, about 10 years ago, I repainted the trunk because of scratches and light surface rust here and there. I also painted the wheel, jack parts, cleaned the trunk striker and spare tire mounting hardware. In short, I wanted it to look...

    Cutting the inner lip on the back wheel wells.

    You can only cut back to your spot welds or the 1/4 will separate from the outer wheelhouse. Your spot welds are way to the inside.
