    Post Some Country Music That Doesn't Suck

    Maybe it was The Dukes and that nostalgia that made me grow to love him, but in my adult life I grew to love Waylon Jennings and Outlaw Country and the folk legends that made it all happen. Today's pop country music has no soul. Soul in music is darn near everything that matters. Post up some...

    Demo Derby DeRestoration 1973 Mercury Wagon - Brand X Where it Belongs

    Back in the summer of 2019 me and my best good friend decided to go partners on a Demolition Derby car. What bedder fodder than a 1973 Mercury Colony Park Wagon!? Progress has been slow as the venue has been killed indefinitely due to covid, but this will happen, even if we have to tow it to...

    What Fits Under Factory Valve Covers?

    I’d like to retain the look of stock 67 BB valve covers over TF 240 heads when it comes time to build my motor. I know it’s a broad reaching question, but I’m wondering if their is a rule of thumb when it comes to stock valve covers.

    Fontana Auto Club Dragway Wed Night Lights

    Has anyone run their car at the Wednesday night street legal events? I'm curious how thorough their inspection is. I have a 67 FB barracuda and the rules state that cars with filler necks located in the trunk require a steel bulkhead separating the driver compartment. Currently there is only...

    Adding a Clutch Safety Switch

    Has anyone installed a clutch safety switch to their pre-70 cars? I'm wondering if there is a factory bracket/switch from a later car that can be added with minimal modification. Seems I need one iffin I want to run my 67 down the track at the local test n tune night.

    Big Block MPG

    Just for fun i tracked my MPG's for the limited amount of driving I've been able to do. 1967 Barracuda, stockish (pertronix ignition) 383 4 speed 3:23. Hot doggin' around town, one short trip with 3 burn outs. 14 MPG. Not bad, i say! Once it's roadworthy enough for some highway time I won't...

    Cam Operating Range & Highway Driveability

    If the advertised operating range is outside of highway cruising RPM, how does that effect driveability (I know that's a vague term)? If the cam & intake are designed to operate between 3000-6500RPM and your gearing is set up to run 75 @ 2500 rpm, will the engine be dogish or struggling under...

    Left side brake woes

    So I'm getting solid 12v to the green wire at the kick panel connector when I have the left signal switch position closed. Back at the brake light I have really weak voltage (wont light the lamp, wires may be compromised) and if I make a jumper straight from the green wire at the kick panel...

    1st Gen Dodge Cummins Are Over Priced

    As a previous owner of two first gen dodge cummins trucks, I cant help but chuckle when I see $15k+ W250 CTD's. They are great looking trucks, the CTD is awesome and the D60/NP205 combo is rock solid, and that's about it. They're loud, slow (of course you can tweak them), and that chassis is...

    So Many Rabbit Holes...

    Lately it's been hard to think of a direction for my 67 Barracuda that doesn't turn into a several thousand dollar endeavor. Example: I would like to purchase some new wheels and tires for the car. Problem is, it's a SBP car. So now I'm into new rear axles and brakes all the way around. I'm in...

    Cragar 342 D Window Wheels

    Does anyone have a pic of these or something similar on their A body? I'm contemplating the 17" version as I think they might take away from the funky look that anything larger than 15's seems to have on our cars.

    67 KH Disc Wheel Hub Availability.

    So I was knocking out the wheel studs today and I gave my wheel hub an inadvertent bonk and dinged the lip of the outer bearing bore. I dont think its damaged beyond use but I would like to replace it when it's time to replace the bearings. Is there a source for these? I'm guessing new is out...

    Re-Installing Tank on 67 Barracuda

    I've been attempting to re-install the fuel tank on my 67 Barracuda and it's proven to be quite the C-Sucker. I've got a new donut on there and I've given it a little lube. I struggled from below trying to push the tank on with the filler neck removed and flopping around. The closest I ever got...

    451 Build For the 67 JC B'Cuda

    Let me start this off by stating that I have never done this before and I don't know what I'm doing. I'm just some guy on the internets reading stuff that some other guy on the internets told me is this or that. What i would like to do is build a reliable and daily driveable/road trippable 451...

    To Sleeve or Not to Sleeve?

    I took a gamble on a 400 block and lost. It dropped a valve and the piston got smashed pretty good and cracked the cylinder wall. I was hoping to build a 451 or 470 in the 500HP range. Nothing too radical. Providing that the rest of the block checks out okay, do y'all think it would be worth my...

    Even I couldn't afford a B-body.

    Hello! I've been lurking for quite a while and finally decided to show myself. I've been a mopar guy since the manger, but I was always a B body guy. As it turned out, the price of a decent late 60's 2-door B body grew so fast not even a miracle could put one in my price range. Eventually...

    Mopar/Ford KH Calipers Interchangeable?

    Has anyone tried using Raybestos FRC4048 & FRC4047 in lieu of the seemingly unobtainable FRC4176 & FRC4175? The 4048/4047 are mustang part numbers and the stock photos look identical. The specs look nearly identical, with the only difference being a 1.635 vs 1.64 bore size. What sayeth ye, oh...
