Well the GTS sold today and it was a bit sad watching it drive away. The unfortunate fire and total loss of my of my Land Cruiser had a great deal to do with the sale of the dart. As the old saying life goes on and I had a blast restoring it while learning a ton. I can let go of that B5 1969...

Well the ebay barometer yielded $12,0200 US site unseen which is more than I would risk on a bunch of pictures. I've listed it on craigs list locally for $19,500 Canadian which is 16,900 US. I'm kinda burnt out with projects but may consider a 1968, 69 Fast back Barracuda if its solid. Solid...

Well, my wife was right. My ADHD has kicked in sooner that I thought. I'm already tired of polishing, vacuuming and detailing my car. I'm already wanting to build another project. I restored nine land rovers in ten years when I went through that passion. I'm a bit of an odd ball that enjoys the...

My Dad is in town visiting and he's a huge Mopar fan. I decide to go out for a cruise in the GTS with good old Dad. Its hot as hell out so we open the floor vents and roll down the windows. I decided to show him what the old girl would do and we find a secluded farm road. I opened up that 750...

Over kill or just stupid? I decided to replace the cheesy transmission cooler that was bolted to the front of the K frame with the heavy duty B&M unit. All the lines one of the previous owners installed were leaking. I didn't feel like laying on my back bending steel line all day. Sooooooooooo I...

This is a video of a new Ford plant in Brazil. One look at this and you will be able to tell why there will probably never be another one built in the USA or CANADA. It will also point out why more assembly plants will go offshore. The unions need to get realistic or their membership will all...

I few funny ones from an email that made me laugh. Have a good weekend folks.

Not sure why this one struck me as funny but I thought I'd share.

I was doing some reading and a lot of books recommend not using a double pumper with an automatic transmission. I talked to my uncle who is a long time drag racer and he also said I should be running a vacuum secondary carburetor with my 727. He said a double pumper will be difficult to launch...

Ok, We need all the FABO members burn outs all on one thread. Post your burnout videos and pics. A brief description of your car.

A good friend of mine came over this weekend with his 65 mustang. Its a nice restoration with the "hot" 289 in it. I helped him tune it up and we took it out for a rip. I was surprised at how gutless it was even with all the bolt on upgrades. My old bone stock 340's would have put that motor to...

As promised, Not a great angle but there was no where else to put the tripod. I plugged FABO in the youtube description. This is a great site! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wye1lj0dQZs

I'm starting to run out of ideas. Just put in a new Northern aluminum radiator. 22"X19" with two huge 1" cooling cores. I switched to a 7 blade viscous fan, new 160 thermostat, set the fuel mixture a little richer as the plugs were grey and I'm still creeping up around 200 degrees. I'm going to...

I've got a new Northern Radiator here as I'm running hot with the engine and stall converter. The Rad I have isn't a 340 rad so its getting replaced. I have a transmission cooler and there is one in the new rad as well. I just want to make sure I've got my plumbing straight. Which is the outlet...

My Dart runs on the hot side with the radiator I got with the puzzle it was when I bought it. Its not a 340 rad and looks to be a two core out of an earlier 318 car. With the stall converter and it being only 20 degrees Celsius it's running around 200 degrees. On one of out hot summer days I'm...

The GTS has finally hit the road after almost two decades of sitting. So far I've looked like the Cheshire Cat all day out cruising. It seems to run a little hot as it hangs around 200 degree's. I have a small oil leak at the rear passenger side valve cover that randomly drips on my headers...

This last year has been a brutal one and I can't wait for it to end. The wife and I decided to go on a day trip to Sloquet Hot Springs with out two girls 4 years old and 2, it started out great. It was a 3 1/2 hour drive on logging roads to get there, but worth it in the end.The sun was shining...

Is it me or does everyone want top dollar for a half assed job these days! I’ve yet to be happy with work I’ve had other people do on my car. I had a wheel alignment done after all the front end components were replaced and they did it with the lower control arms sitting on the bump stops. I...

So when I looked over the front end of the dart I replaced what was worn and noted the strut rod bushings were missing. I posted on the site and had the moog heavy duty ones endorsed by a few members. When I pulled the front washer off there were bushings in there but the look too thin as the...

So, It looks like the paint shop broke one of the chrome trim clips on the bottom of my back window. Is there a trick someone knows to get the chrome to stay put without pulling the rear window to install new clips? The local glass shops want a fortune for this for some reason. Thanks all

WOW. $23,000 of the price must be the three hundred pounds of box liner sprayed in the trunk...

Seems some brands are not the right thickness and mine look way too thin as the cotter pin holes are a half inch from the plate. Which brand is the best fit. Here is an write up I found explaining the problem. http://users.erols.com/mathewg/bushings.html

This is the best $20 I have ever spent when it comes to tools for my car. For those of you who are "Attention Deficit Disorder" like me and forget what the hell you were looking for in the first place when you get to the other point in a wiring diagram this is a great help. Its all correctly...

So I'm weeks from being on the road pending the safety inspection. I need everything to be working and I can't get any instrument panel lights to work. I also have no power to the far left fuse even with the ignition on. I don't have the radio hooked up and following the diagram its in that loop...

I need a wiper switch for a 1969 dart. Its a two speed with the push button washer. PM me if you have a good one for sale. Thanks Dave

Does anyone know if they sell just the brushes that go along the top, inside edge of the door against the windows? I bought the whole kit with all the weather stripping but the door brushes ended up getting wrecked when a bunch of contact cement got spilled all over them. I don't want to buy the...

Has anyone bolted one of these up? I cant tell by the pic's on there web site but it looks like it bolts to the top ears on the block. I've fabricated my own in the past but I like the rubber bushing idea as breaking ears off blocks is no fun and I don't think you can repair it. I don't want...

I just picked up a sway bar for my dart so I can get it safety inspected soon. I bought a used one as I'm not planning on high speed cornering and wanted to save a few bucks as I'm way over budget. It seems that ever time I try to save a dollar it costs me ten because I get screwed over by some...

Well! After an hour of grinding, sanding, polishing and an hour in the freezer I finally got my made in China replacement dip stick tube to fit. I now have these chinese calipers for sale for anyone planning on ordering made in china parts. Be sure to pre measure with this precision tool before...
