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...

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...

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...

OK, here is a good one. A woman ordered a cake from Walmart, and she wanted it to say “Aries Baby”, and she wanted it to be in the middle of the cake in small cursive letters. So on the order form, she wrote, “Aries Baby (small cursive in the middle of the cake)”. This is what she got:

I am working on a GMC Jimmy tailgate for a powder coating customer. It is really rusty. I was cutting out a patch piece from some 16 gauge sheet metal, and the 3” cutting disk tool got away from me a bit. It sliced right through the heavy leather glove and wound up barely grazing my skin. Just...

I have a 6’ wood privacy fence around my back yard. It contains a gate that is about 5’ wide. I have had to rebuild that gate at least five times. I frame it with treated 2x4s, attach it to the 4x4 treated post with heavy hinges and then attach about ten 6’ x 5.5” x 5/8” treated pickets to it...

I rarely make posts on this forum with my cell phone. I much prefer using my laptop. But often when I do try to make a post with my cell phone, I get an error message that says “oops, something happened. Try again “. Sometimes, I cannot add pictures on my cell phone also. I wonder if anybody...

I was looking for something for my 69 Barracuda today, and I came across the statistic stating that the 273 was an available engine for the 68 Barracuda. I thought the last year for the 273 was 67. I am no expert, but does anybody out there know for sure.

I helped my friend Mark, do a rotisserie restoration on a 67 Mustang several years ago. I did the paint job. I was out of his house, helping him with something today said let’s take the Mustang for a cruise. It is a great little car. It has a 289 V8, three speed on the floor, power steering and...

I found this Walmart picture, and I thought of PBR. I don't know if it is male, female or one of the 15 other genders we have now, but I liked it.

I was cutting a patch panel out of some 16 gauge steel, and used ALL of my 3" cutting disk. Waste not want not.

A widow friend of my wife called me with this question. She has a 2002 jeep CJ. If it matters, it has the 4.0 six, manual transmission and not much of more. Lately, the battery has been draining down, and she has to charge the battery or jumpstart it frequently. She got a new battery for it a...

I just saw a commercial for a Chevy truck that advertised hands-free driving and hands-free towing. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t like it. I don’t like the idea of some guy coming towards me on a 2 Lane highway driving 60 miles

I am helping a friend restore a 67 Camaro. We are currently building the 327 for it. We are building it up to about 350 hp, and he is buying a Holly sniper FI unit for it. He has an engine run stand. We have run several engines on that run stand, but I have never touched an aftermarket fuel...

This was a question on a physics test when I was in college over 50 years ago. I liked it so much; I have always remembered it. You place a rowboat in a swimming pool and fill it with large rocks to the point where it is about to capsize. Then you mark the water level on the side of the pool...

Evidently McDonald’s has had a 1970 Barracuda very nicely fixed up, and they call it the Burgercuda. It’s a national marketing scheme. If you see the Burgercuda, evidently you contact McDonald’s somehow and get a free hamburger. The young guy on the left, pronounced it as a Plie (like two ply...

I just saw that Sports Illustrated laid off all employees. It’s a perfect example of what happens when a company abandons its principles and goes against what its customers want. When will they learn. If you become popular and successful to a specific fan base, don’t stab them in the back and...

I have seen multiple threads where folks ask for guidance on an affordable paint gun. My answer is always the same. For the money, I think it is hard to beat the DeVilbiss Finish Line FLG gun. I have used them for many years. The one listed below is on sale at TP Tools for $50 off at $200. Plus...

We had a small snowstorm blow through today. We got 1 inch total. It’s been so warm the last several days, but nothing really stuck to the streets or the driveways. And the idiots that run the local school boards have already closed down every school within 50 miles of here for tomorrow. That is...

When I saw this, I thought of @toolmanmike

I see guys on TV shows that use paint spray guns to spray contact cement when they are doing interior work. I am curious on how they could possibly clean those guns out?

There is a new restaurant opening here in Topeka. It is a fusion between Oriental food and Middle Eastern food. They call it Wok Like an Egyptian.

When I bought my 69 Barracuda about 33 years ago, it had a pretty good sized radiator in it. I assumed it was a 22" out of a B or E model. It did JUST fit from side to side, but about 1.5-2" of the core was blocked on each side. I stripped the entire car down to bare metal both times I painted...

We go to a big craft fair called The Maple Leaf Festival in a place called Baldwin City (Kansas) every year in October. I really enjoy it. There are LOTS of great items on display (for sale), and the food options are to die for. Anyway, there is this one guy who makes all kind of lawn...

I was just wondering how many 1969 Barracuda Fastbacks we have on this form. Post a picture and tell us about the car. I have had my car for going on 35 years. I've restored it twice. I finished the first restoration in 1995. I did ALL the work myself. I painted it with lacquer paint; base and...

I Fixed myself, a double espresso shot latte yesterday as an afternoon pick me up. I gave my miniature dachshund a little taste of the foam by dipping my finger in the foam, and letting her lick my finger. When I was done, she begged for more, so I just let her lick the cup. I guess you have to...

@Dutchrebuild has a complete 4 speed setup for sale on this forum at this time. It has been listed for over a month. We aren't supposed to carry on conversations in sale ads, so I am saying it here. Isn't it strange that people are constantly saying they want to convert to a 4 speed but can't...

My wife and I have always had miniature Dachshunds my oldest daughter has carried on with that tradition. She got a new Dachshund puppy a few weeks ago and named her Jemmy. She drove through a Starbucks a few days ago with Jemmy, and the lady at the window asked if the puppy would like a pup cup...

I had the pleasure to meet Mike Carr, @Mike69cuda at a car show in Kansas City today. He is a real car guy and a true gentleman. Unfortunately, I could not visit for long, but I plan to visit with him again. It is always nice to meet FABO folks in person.
