Aaron, who some of you remember from our days of restoring his '74 Dart Sport, is graduating from Texas A&M next Saturday. It's been a long, hard road, but he has finally earned a degree in manufacturing and mechanical engineering. Even better is the fact that he is starting his first job in...

Venus, Texas, that is, near Ft. Worth. It got me to wondering - what are some of the oddball-named places you have been to?

Late yesterday, I got a call from my son Aaron who is attending Texas A&M. He first assured me that he was OK, then said that some guy just ran a stop sign and drove his truck over the front end of Aaron's Dart Sport. Ever get that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach? For those of...

I'm watching "Ghost Hunters" on the SyFy channel right now. They have had this show on TV for several years and I have watched many of their episodes. However, after all the years and all the locations they have visited, I have still not seen many instances of what I would call "proof...

Do any of you make a living, or at least supplement your income, by working at home? I don't mean as a mechanic, tax consultant, interior designer, etc. I'm talking about one of those (legitimate) "Work From Home" ads you always see. Just curious...

I thought it might be a Morris Minor, but now I don't think so. Anyone have a clue?

A couple of weeks ago, member 2 Darts came down from Dallas to pick up a rearend - in his 4-door Dart. :thumbrig: Nice looking car, Steve. We muscled the 7-1/4 and four wheels/tires into his trunk and back seat. The little Dart was squatting a bit when he drove off. It was great meeting...

And I mean CAR magazines, by the way. Which ones do you think give the most bang for the buck in terms of quality and quantity of content, and number of issues for the subscription rate? If you had to choose only one to read, which one would it be? Don't be embarassed if it happens to be...

For those who do, you may have been recently hearing a little bit about my nephew Marshall White. His first place win in a qualifying series on July 4th in Bucharest, Romania, earned him a spot in this year's final world competition. Marshall has been competing professionally for only about...

Looks like Aaron's two-year old HP Pavilion he got for college has already crapped out. The HP support line tech had him go through a couple of phone diagnostic checks and seems to think the motherboard is done for. Aaron's cousin has gone through two motherboards on his same-model laptop...

I've had it with being hamstrung by not having a decent air compressor for the shop. The longer I go without one, the more I realize I need one. I need to begin researching what type compressor I should consider. What better place is there to start than with you guys? I'm sure plenty of you...

I went to a local gun shop today and learned something very disturbing. It's getting almost impossible to buy ammunition in most popular calibers - even the common .22 rounds. I used to reload my own ammunition, and I still have all the equipment. Now I'm told you can't hardly get your hands...

What have you found to be the best option for shipping large and/or heavy objects. I've had a few requests for items off the Duster I am parting out. Things such as the hood, window glass, k-frame, springs, etc. are not very suitable for boxing up and dropping off at the post office. I...

For those of you who don't know what an Aggie is, that is the term used for students from Texas A&M University. My son Aaron, whom you probably know by now (DartThis74), just received notice that he has been accepted to A&M and will enter their mechanical engineering and technology degree...

If you are good at Photoshop, I've got a little task I would like you to help me with. Send me a PM and I'll fill you in. Jerry

Anyone else having problems logging in to chat, or is it just me? Jerry

You see the ads all the time. You can get information on where auctions are held to dispose of government-seized vehicles for pennies on the dollar. Have any of you actually been able to get some useful information from these advertisers? I suspect you have to pay them to get on a mailing list...

Well, he did it again. Aaron got two more plaques for his '74 "Dartster" at a local show. The police department of Harker Heights, Texas, annually sponsors a car show to benefit a local charity. Aaron took "Best in Class" in the "CLASSIC" category. We were walking away to leave and a guy came up...

Check this out. My son just landed a summer job working in a newly opened shop building custom hot rods. Starting with chopping a '40 Dodge. Not bad for a 16-year old's first paying job. I offered to sweep the floor for free, just so I can hang out. Jerry
