    Sh*tstorm!

    This is apparently what I get for driving a non-Mopar DD. There is apparently one large bird out there with a massive digestive issue or a whole flock that hates BMW's. My car was in the middle of a parking lot at work, no wires or anything around. There was some collateral damage to adjacent...

    rare fan?

    I have a friend who has this fan among his other parts. It has seven aluminum blades and is in very nice shape. He was told that it is for a 1968 SS car. I'd like to know first off if it is for that application and some idea of it's rarity and approximate value. Any help is appreciated!

    Unsolicited advice

    Hey guys, Like everyone else I am on a tight budget but getting the exhaust right is very important to me. Muffler clamps just don't cut it in my opinion. I went to my local muffler shop and got a written quote for a headers back installation for me, 2-1/2 pipe with an X pipe and Spintek...

    Gas pedal?

    What are the differences between the /6 and V8 gas pedal assemblies, if any? I've seen posts about swapping them out. Is this a requirement when going to a V8 in an ex-slant car?

    Power Steering return line thingy

    I'm looking for one of these that is straight rather than cocked up at a 30 degree angle as the one in the picture is. This one puts the hose too close to the header. I know the straight kind exists because I've seen it on another car.

    Hey JR, Check it out!

    Joey came over and we set the engine and transmission in last night. 8) :cheers:I had the headers held in the bay with wires and we lowered the engine in between them. It took about 20 minutes, tops. I still need a trans crossmember before I can finalize the position but I will say that the...

    No brake lights

    So, I got the bumpers back on the car after the recent paint job and have plugged in the connectors in the trunk. I have turn signals and tail lights but for some reason I now have no brake lights. I will say I hadn't checked them recently so this could have been a pre-existing condition. I...

    I need to change my screen name! :)

    It's amazing how much damage you can do in one weekend with a twelve pack, a cheap hvlp gun and a half a gallon of john deere blitz black. :cheers: I got tired of watching the cheap, old, faded paint peel off the redscampi and I was planning on going to Goodguys next weekend - so...I spent...

    I should have gone to the Spring Roundup

    Because it would have been cheaper! I spent all day Saturday working on the Red Scamp trying to get ready for the show. But by Saturday night I was out of energy and I hadn't quite finished putting the dash together. The column was still down and my back was seriously hurting from wedging myself...

    What size cam should I use?

    I have a bone stock 318, 1968 block, runs great but idles smooth and stock-like. My question is what is the biggest cam I can use without modifying the valve train? I want the motor to sound more aggressive even if it isn't. If you can recommend a brand and part number that would be great too.

    Looking for 64-66 Barracuda for Trade

    I have two of the same type cars so I thought I would see if there's any interest. Looking to trade for a 64-66 Barracuda, prefer V8 but would consider any. I'd like it to be a driver but if it's nice enough I'd consider a project. I have a '72 Scamp, originally Rally Red, vinyl top, original...

    A body 8 3/4 questions

    Well here's an update on my 8 3/4. I got this for shipping and a couple of RC cars. :) It's an A body 4" bolt circle unit, and I didn't know till I got it home that it was a 489 case. I also didn't know it was a suregrip until I got the axles out. That's the good news. The bad news is that...

    Free Motor!

    I thought that might get your attention. I haven't posted in a while, just busy with other things. I wanted to share my good fortune with you guys. I was at a friend's house a couple of weeks ago unloading his car from the trailer when one of his neighbors swung by to chat. It seems the neighbor...

    This thing is finally at a reasonable price

    This is not my car but it's been advertised all over the place. It's located in Graham, WA not too far from me. My buddy was trying to seel a '41 Ford and this guy wanted to trade this car for it. He talked a long time to the guy about it. The guy took a really long time to admit that the car...

    Sno-par

    This sucks! Does anyone else have to leave their A body out in the weather? This is the weirdest winter we have had for a long time. Usually it'd be raining. I'm not saying that's better... :/

    October Mopar Muscle

    Hey guys, my wife just came home from the grocery store and brought me a copy of the Oct. Mopar Muscle. Pretty neat to find it full of A-bodies! Yeah, there are some other cars too, but this looks like a great issue for us!

    Got a little time on your hands?

    How about making a full size cardboard car? My only question would be what to do with it when you were done? Have a bonfire?

    727 Identification help please

    I picked up a working 727 for dirt cheap but I don't know what it fits. Floundered around for a while with the part number decoders but i don't see this one listed. Can anyone tell me what this came out of? PK 4329438 8099 0576 It has an A-727 cast into it which leads me to believe it is...

    Interior restoration begins

    I was trying to wait for warmer weather to start this but I got impatient and started bringing stuff in the house to work on. Thank God my wife is understanding! Anyway I have begun recovering the front seat. I.m done with the passenger seat back. These are Legendary covers purchased through...

    Blitz Black from John Deere

    Anybody ever try this stuff for semi flat black applications? I shot my 68 Suburban with it through a cheap gun and it came out pretty cool even though I'm not a painter. I did this to sell the truck since it was collecting dust/rust in my driveway. The cool thing about this stuff is that it is...

    Random Sightings Game

    Today on the way to work I had to stop for gas and I saw a really clean red 66 Valiant 2 door at the Safeway where I filled up and I wished I had a camera with me. Then on the way home from work I saw a real decent 68 Barracuda cruising in the lane next to me - and again I wished I had a...

    Who had snow last night?

    What a weird time of year for snow in Western WA! Here is the scene yesterday afternoon in my back yard - and to think, I was out cruising on Saturday!

    Somebody grab this before I have to!

    Not mine but I've been salivating over this for the last week. I have a running 318 and 904 just waiting patiently in my parts car to go in this cool little 68 with disk brakes - but I really can't afford the space for it! It's located in Vancouver, WA. Seems like a great deal if your close...

    What are the chances?

    Saturday was the first full day we have had without rain in the last few weeks. The sunshine was kind of weak and watery but it was actually kind of warm so I decided to take the Scamp out for a bit of a cruise. My wife and I decided to go get a milkshake at this little drive in in Buckley...

    Scamp paint schemes?

    I am contemplating what I want to do as far as painting my 72. I have mostly thought about blacking out the hood and adding the stripe around the quarters with the original Rally Red. I'm not concerned with originality but I'd like to keep the Mopar "flavor" if you know what I mean. I'd like to...

    What's it worth?

    Hey guys, I went to look at this 74 (the dark green one) just a few miles from me today. I'm very tempted to buy it since I have a 72 parts car with a straight, rust free nose and a 318. The owner says she would take 1000. Is this a decent deal? I really don't need another car but this looks...

    Best bet on local wrecking yards?

    Disc brakes from my parts car

    I have a 72 Dart Swinger, 318 parts car that has a front disc brake setup. I was wondering if there is any reason I should not swap those brakes for the drum setup in my 72 Scamp? I understand they are not as large ast the 73 and up but I figure a bird in the hand, right? Can you convince me...
