We had a great time on this cruise from San Jose to Woodside California. All total we put about 200 miles on #projectvertfish. It was a 75 degree day doing 75 mph with the top down enjoying the California sun. Hope y'all enjoy the videos. https://photos.app.goo.gl/LJE5aWcNwmSf47bE9

The school of fish saga continues. To recap. My young neighbor bought a derelict 68 fastback cuda that I had tried to buy from the long time owner several times with no success. His car had been sitting for 20+ years with a blown head gasket and a broken rear window. So now after installing some...

200 + miles yesterday in #projectvertfish without a single hiccup. It was a beautiful 80 degree day on the central California coast. My young 21 year old friend Emmy had never been in a muscle car much less driven anything with 500 hp. Needless to say he's already planning to start saving to...

So like many, I decided I wanted a bolt down fiberglass hood on #projectvertfish, my 67 Barracuda convertible. In my case, the AAR hood from VFN. Love it or hate it; doesn't matter to me. It's my car and I dig it. Anyways... Also like many, I decided to just release the tension from my steel...

After "suffering" many months with just a Bluetooth speaker in #projectvertfish, I finally put out some cash to install a sound system that I could actually hear at 75 mph and the top down. I had done the mad electrical ammeter bypass (Catalog) and installed a 60 amp Denso style internally...

Should I be worried about the excessive smoke at the rear of #projectvertfish? Alignment issue maybe? https://photos.app.goo.gl/EADKREXMbevHwhsc8

I'm using this radiator from engineered cooling 22" Mopar BIG BLOCK HD Aluminum Radiator - Dual Fans And Aluminum Shroud and a milodon high flow water pump so I'm not sure fluid is an issue, but maybe.

Stable at just under 200

Yes, restrictive exhaust? Yes, lean? 195-ish ok then?

Most of the Mopars I've owned that have had cooling issues were the "gets hot idling in traffic" type. But #projectvertfish has something different. My BPE 408 runs great and stays cool (180 degrees) at idle and around town but climbs to 195-200 degrees at extended periods at 75 mph or above...

Now THIS is why I love this forum. Thanks

But that's where the missus keeps the $ I get to spend on mopar parts and guns.

A friend sent me info on this cruise from San Jose to the "world famous" Pebble Beach 17 mile drive. I don't do Facebook so it was just a screen shot of the info. Well it sounded like a good test for the car as it would be freeway, city, stop and go and idling, so we decided to go. So at 7am, we...

After nearly a year, the day finally came for Steven to start up his 68 fastback engine. He is a former Honda tuner turned Mopar student. I've been trying to mentor him and give him the benefit of my experience (mistakes). Some things he listens and others he just has to learn for himself. The...

Factory option? I did not know that. Thank you!

Upon trying to remove the gas cap on our 68 Barracuda, we noticed these odd looking sheet metal screw heads. I imagine it was a theft deterrent but I have never seen these. What are they called and what is the tool to remove them? Drill baby, drill?

After fixing my exhaust leak, I took #projectvertfish for a cruise to get some Sunoco 110 as an additive for the crappy 91 here in California. I was able to stop along a dirt road a get a few nice pics of the car with the rising moon in the background. It's hard to beat 75 degrees and sunny in...

These Edelbrock exhaust gaskets didn't last 600 miles on #projectvertfish. But I suppose trying to stuff the 500-ish horsepower from my BPE Magnum 408 through 1967 hi-po 273 factory manifolds creates a lot of pressure? I'm going to get some TTI headers once my credit card cools down a bit...

The trick is... Maintaining my "tough guy" image while pushing 2 small dogs wearing outfits in a cart.

First rule: painting well is not really about painting for the most part. It's all about surface prep and keeping your painting tools free of moisture and debris. Second rule: If you've got time to lean; you've got time to clean. If you want to last as a valuable member in any real shop with a...

For almost every Mopar electrical issue, grounds are usually an issue. The 3 prongs for the headlight are hi, low and ground. Be sure to have the ground prong connected when testing the halo lights. I recently installed a similar set up on a friend's 71 truck. I wired the white halo to the...

All my car buddies say they want to come help me (drink beer) in the garage, but they always seem busy when I need a second person. Normally I'd grab the missus but she's out of town. So what's a fella supposed to do when trying to get rid of that spongie pedal by trying to get that little bit...

Not sure. They were kinda vague. (Maybe on purpose) They just hit me up because I had the same year car.

Who is looking for a builder? This thing was running; but these guys brought it out on a flatbed. They said they did a lien sale and had just got it finalized the day before the show and wanted to make a few bucks with a quick flip. They said they were in it for $4k-ish and were hoping to get...

I took #projectvertfish and the dogs out to our local cars and coffee. Its tough, but I try to maintain my tough-guy image while having two little dogs in outfits. (not relly sure anyone buys it though) Parked next to me was an awesome Petty Belvedere recreation. There was also a nice 67...

After doing the same research while my old 273 was out and I was waiting for my BPE 408 to arrive, I had a parts list $1800 deep and sill hadn't picked out a converter or found someone to do the buildup confidently. Then I went to the TCI website and saw that for around $2k I could get a new...
