    Happy Holidays

    Just a fast Happy Holidays to all. I've been staying away from most message boards as we've been busy with the house and, to be honest.... I just didn't have the desire or time for this. There are a lot of members I'd like to apologize to for snubbing the site. Sorry.... We moved into our house...

    My New Neighborhood

    Last Sunday we moved into the house. We're still searching for stuff & where to put it, but we're in. While we were moving last week we spotted this little get together a few blocks from me. Don't stare into the Iguana's eyes.... This Magnum was beautiful. Granted, I'm not going to be...

    Using a Clay Bar

    Any advice on do's/don't's when using a clay bar, or is it idiot resistant? I need to do it to my car. Sooner than later..... :angry7:

    No Summer .....

    Just thought I'd post a quick update. Amy & me had no summer this year. We spent every free minute working on the house. We've owned it for 6 yrs. and had held onto it as an investment. Being the housing market sucks, we decided to move out of our small Co-Op apartment and into the house. The...

    Leanna Strikes Again!

    This Gal and her operation is first class. Look at what she did with a real beat-to-death, torched....twisted and massaged Hurst shifter. I moved this one around with a torch so it fit me good with the pistol grip. Instead of re-chroming, I had our very own Leanna work her magic. Before After...

    House Horror: 7-4-10

    Yeah.... it's becoming that. Every %$#@#$% thing I touch turns into another $200 detour. And I thought the `Cuda was a project! We had planned on moving in this weekend and I'm disappointed to say, *maybe* the end of July. Most likely the beginning of August. And the `Cuda is sitting with a dead...

    `09 Dodge Ram 1500 Sway Bar

    I'm trying to locate a rear sway bar for a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 pick-up. It has the coil spring rear suspension set-up, NOT leafs. I'm having a difficult time finding a rear bar & heavy duty shocks. Any help/ideas/leads? All the sites I've hit only have leaf spring applications.

    Visiting Orlando Next Week

    I had posted this a few months ago that Amy & me will be in Orlando next weekend for my Sister's graduation. Pastor Tom advised us to check out the Old Town cruise on Saturday night. We're going to be there but we need an address/location of the cruise. Also, for those interested, we'd love to...

    Leanna Rocks...

    Today I got me a package from Tennessee.... Guess what was inside? Once again, our very own Mistress of Metal did a fabulous job of turning crap into jewels. PSC did a great job on my hood latch loop, popper spring, and safety latch, along with my trunk latch loop. Awesome job! The finish is a...

    `68 Cuda Grill Complete

    I spotted these on e-Bay. If you break down each item, this is actually a good deal. They appear to be very good candidates for resto, or screw `em on & drive. <sigh...> I can't spend on toys, and everyone is clearing out their toy boxes...

    Home Improvement Rant

    For those of you whom have been involved with home improvement projects know they make car restoration look like model building. A simple task of re-painting window trim evolved into $175 worth of lumber and a tub of plaster to repair holes... The thought of repairing a loose door hinge...

    R.I.P. Angel

    This afternoon Amy & myself followed through with one of the most difficult decisions we've made yet as a couple. Our dog Angel's health had deteriorated to where she had trouble walking, was in-continent, and didn't recognize us anymore. When she started biting at me and Amy we decided to not...

    Welder Advice Needed

    I'm thinking of picking up a small MIG welder from a liquidator. At my previous employer we had a MIG set up w/ a gas cylinder. This el-cheapo version appears to be strictly electric. I have 220 service in the house & garage, but is it worth buying for small projects? I'm not looking to build...

    Hell Yeah !

    I went to see Hellyeah in a SMALL club in Brooklyn last week. Awesome show! Black Water Rising opened and threw down a great set. They're local guys from Brooklyn that are starting to get some visibility through satellite radio. They get played regularly on the Octane channel on Sirius. These...

    I'm still alive....

    I just got an e-mail asking basically where the Hell I've been. Easy....House Restoration. Makes rebuilding the Barracuda seem like a Revell model kit. I haven't had the `Cuda out since Easter Sunday and I'm going into withdrawals... Once in a while I have to start it up and back it out of the...

    Steering Wheel Diameter

    Anyone know off the top of their head the stock steering wheel diameter for an A body? I have a smaller than stock sized Grant wheel now I'd like to swap out, preferably something with billet in the spokes and a leather wrap, of a larger diameter. Damn manual steering.... :-k

    Car **** Alert!

    In another thread I mentioned I had some welding done and there were some toys in the shop. He we go.... Aside from not seeing an actual Vega in years (they all disintergrated 20 years ago up here....) this was a sweetie. 383 SBC/4-spd. combo. Very nicely done, not a hack-job. Then there...

    Cuda Capers 3-27-10

    This should really be a continuation of last weeks thread, but what the Hell.... This morning I trekked out to American Muffler on Merrick Road in Baldwin to have my sub-frame connectors welded in. Ricky did a great job and had it done in no time. Here's Ricky welding one in. These guys are...

    Will 275's fit?

    I have a pair of 15 X 8" SBP rims with a 4 3/4" back spacing I bought a few months ago. My car has ESPO's super stock leaf springs in their stock location. My car also sits a *bit* high in the rear. My question is will 275-60-15" fit back there comfortably? Looks like it *should* be no problem...

    Me & my Wife will be in Orlando on the weekend of June 18-19-20 as my Sister graduates from College on the 19th. Of those three nights, we decided we'd search out a car function one night while we're down there. Anything happening on a regular basis at any particular place? Mopar or mixed-brand...

    `Cuda Capers Returns!

    First off, half of the issues we have been dealing with have been resolved. Unfortunately, it was all the problems I was having with the state, as we still have concerns over my Wife's Father, Brother, and yes... even our old Dog's health. But on the up-side I had a good dose of therapy as I...

    STUPID Question....

    Why does JEGS advertise a shifter for every COLOR Camaro, but for Mopar they advertise only B bodies and full-sized Chrysler's? Isn't the actual guts the same, with the shifters being different ?!?!? BTW: The rods are an additional $125!!!! :protest:

    I Hate Snow

    Mother Nature just took another dump on us. I know you guys up north are used to this and worst, but down here in the City it's paralyzing. And we were so close to the end of the snow season..... When it reaches my bumpers I call it a day. I'm the proud new owner of a 3 day weekend..... 8)
