I'm planning this with my '64 D100 stepside. Gathering up engine parts to build an R5 now. Can't really decide what kind of suspension to go with it though. I was also thinking about getting an old 50's hemi and doing like a 60's hotrod truck but R5's are cheaper for me. I vote V-10. New...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Jim. I hope everything's going your way.

My 64 d-100. I'm planning on replacing the brakes this winter and driving it next summer.

Y'all are pretty sad. I really enjoy 69 440 Cuda's threads. To me, it's about the only thing actually worth reading on here anymore. Who cares where he gets his info. I have no idea who he is and have never talked to him before, but I have been around plenty of people that give interesting...

Hey Jim, Sorry, I didn't notice these messages. Yes, I have a 64 D-100. Its a little stepside short bed. I love the thing and hope to start driving it by the summer. It's a \6, 3 on the tree. Should be a pretty awesome driver. I'm not too sure about the cruise-in. I believe its the 2nd saturday...

I have a 64 d100. Super easy to work on and relatively cheap if you have all the parts. Mine is kind of a side, side project, but it's cheaper to wirk on than my duster. I ended up with a parts truck also, so I won't have to look for parts it I'm missing a few. The 318 is a poly though, so just...

I will be going at some point this weekend. I work half a mile away from the speedway. Should be fun with the Rallycross at the dirt track. -Forrest

It has a ton of room compared to the C70. I was really surprised at how practical the car was. Front and rear passenger compartments and the trunk feel bigger that you would expect looking at the car.

I actually just traded an 01 Volvo C70 for a Dodge Dart. I love the Dart and am glad I did it. I recently took an 8.5 hour round trip to the beach and got 37 mpg factoring in the city driving that I did at the beach. It wasn't interstate driving, just highway driving. Get the 1.4 turbo. I drove...

I have cheapo under chassis headers and side exhaust with flowmaster super 44s. Its loud but has a great sound. I'm young and don't mind the noise though. I've driven some 5 hour trips with it and it never got on my nerves. I just got a buddy that has a shop to bend my exhaust up. The mufflers...

Sorry for not replying, I've been working a lot lately. The motor will hopefully be a stroked r5. I'm still waiting to hear the price of big inch r5 cranks. Also looking into an aluminum block, but I won't be getting one unless I can get a deal. I can get the parts really cheap for myself, so it...

Just a once a month driver probably. Maybe take it to the strip some. Also wondering what kind of transmission to use. I'm still gathering engine parts so the transmission and rear will have to wait a while. I want to see what I can swing for an engine before I get into the drivetrain more than...

That's what I figured. Just seeing what more experienced guys say. I'm still a young gun.

I am saving up for an engine that'll make about 1000 hp and want to know if an 8 3/4 Chrysler rear can handle it or a relatively inexpensive combo that will be able to handle 1000-1500 hp. I have a Dana 60 that I can shorten if needed also. Thanks, Forrest

At the shop I work at, we just did a test on a Cup series X pipe style and an H pipe style tailpipes on our Eddy current dyno and a plate engine that ran at Talledega the next week. No difference at all. Neither was better than the other holding all other things constant. We run an H pipe on all...

=D>

Glad to see that motor going to good use. I can't wait to see a video of this thing running. -Forrest

How much for the truck fenders? Do you know a way to ship them cheap?

Got the ol' 225 running in my 64 pickup truck today. Sending it to get the carb rebuilt and new brake lines put on soon!

Thanks! I got the boxes a few days ago. I haven't been able to get on because I've been working so much lately. Y'all really are great!

Got that right!

I really appreciate y'all's help and hope I can repay you someday. I know I'm pretty lucky to be in the situation I'm in and I'll be passing my old tools along as I upgrade in the future. Forrest

Let Matt have the wrenches, I'll just take the sockets. Thanks Tracy! I sent shipping money. I love my job and the opportunities that come with it. I've learned a ton and enjoy every second of it. We're actually a very small engine shop for our output. We build 3-5 engines a week with about 9 guys.

Thanks! No rush at all, take your time. Good Idea on the sockets, I hope someone else can use them. -Forrest

I don't think I need the temp gun, but the mic definitely would be useful. Do you have paypal?. I mainly work in the teardown department taking engines apart as they come in and cleaning them. I also put engines on and take them off the dyno, machine parts, and rebuild oil pumps and stuff like...

Hey guys, y'all are some great people. I'm 20 and think this is a really cool thing. I work for a rather large engine shop, don't have any tools, and can't afford to buy new ones since I support myself and am paying for college. Right now I use other peoples tools and they're getting after me...

So you're near Morganton? Thanks, I think it'll be a great truck when I finish it up
