    Took me awhile to post about my best friend Buddy

    I haven't posted here in a very long time nor have I owned a Mopar for quite a few years now, but I have to say that I'm so sorry for your loss Mike. I went through the same thing with my old boy Mutley a few years back but the vet screwed up the appointment to have him put down so he had to...

    Time to plug in home Stereo

    I've been getting into vintage audio stuff lately and have picked up some good deals on a few things. My main listening area is my shop and for the most part the main system consists of a Sansui 771 receiver, Aurex Quartz direct drive T-table, a cheap DVD/CD player, running through a pair of...

    dustermaniac, Where did you get your info from? I can't find anything about Bishops death online.

    New words and their meaning.

    I always thought old people would want to drive faster to get where they're going because they don't have much time left.:tongue5::tongue5:

    New words and their meaning.

    Tourons. The tourist morons that flood this area every summer with their 5th wheels and motorhomes with line of traffic miles long behind them because they are only doing half the posted speed limit.:sad3:

    71 Pontiac FireBird 400 Big Block

    The GM 400 block you are referring to is a 400 cube small block Chevy. The Pontiac 400 is a completely different animal. Then there's a Buick 400 which is different than either the Chevy or the Pontiac. Confused yet?:D

    Whats Your Guess

    "It's a 67 Chevelle grill." O.K. Don't believe the GM guy when he says it's a 67 Chevelle grill.:razz::iconbigg:

    MacGyver lives!

    I bought my old house from the same guy. The galvanized steel pipes coming up to the kitchen sink were cut off with a torch and he put on black poly irrigation line from the supply to the taps with gear clamps.](*,)

    And here's another one... Thanks Desert Car Kings

    One thing I did notice is the console and shifter seem to be 66 or later.

    Help me ID Cuda(?) trim

    The two dog leg pieces in the top of the second pic is rear seat trim for 64-66 Barracauda.

    Mopars at the car show yesterday

    I recognize the Orange Fargo truck in the last pic in the first post. It's my buddy Barry's. I bought my 65 Barracuda from him.

    where do you work at?

    I'm a self employed ceramic tile installer. Started in the biz in 1986 and have been self employed for about 8 years now. Even though work has been slow for the last year or so, I don't think I could ever go back to work for someone else.

    1966 Plymouth Barracuda prices...

    Lots of back glass out there. The trick is to find it local because no one's going to ship it. When I bought my 65 Barracuda a couple of years back it came with 3 of them.

    Happy BD to comoxian!

    Happy birthday Mark. Feel free to stop in any time you're through this way again.

    Aircare question....

    I'm pretty sure that 75 was the first year for mandatory cats. When I lived on the coast I had a 75 Olds 442 that had a cat on it and the first thing I did was tear the cat off it and put true duels on it. Never had a problem with air scare because of no cats. It may be different now because...

    Front and rear glass install (65 Barracuda)

    Thanks for the info guys. So the butyl doesn't really do anything to hold the glass or the seal in the car (that's what the lock strip is for), it's just to keep the leaks out. I am fortunate that both pinch welds in the front and back were very clean without a speck of rust on them and now they...

    New use for your extra back glass!

    Being a GM guy for so many years I'd put it on the other way around. That'd make a hell of a cowl induction and you wouldn't have to worry about lift because it would act as a spoiler too, ;)

    Front and rear glass install (65 Barracuda)

    I'm about to install the back glass on my 65 Cuda. I have a friend who's installed a bunch of glass over the years (none of them in a car like this) and he tells me there's no need for any kind of adhesive. He seems sure that some kind of rope in the front side of the glass will keep the rubber...

    Country music trackers

    Dumb question. What's a music tracker? I do have a connection at a country station but it's Canadian.

    For anyone who likes good music.....

    I hear what you're saying Frankie and pretty much agree with what you said. Perhaps I made a poor choice in my wording. Princes solo was ok in my book but I sure as heck wouldn't call it earthshattering like a few folks seem to think. "Also not to start an arguement, but if you've been playing...

    For anyone who likes good music.....

    I didn't say Prince sounded bad. It's just that what he played wasn't that technically difficult, but what do I know. I've only been playing for 38 years. ;)

    For anyone who likes good music.....

    Good version of the song but I can't say Prince played anything special. I'd like to hear that song with Knofler playing the lead instead of the fills. Then you'd really hear some playing. ;)

    Engine Decode?

    My car was a 273 Commando/auto car but here's the thing. When I bought it there was no motor or much of anything related. ;) It did come with the original ball and trunion trans but I won't be using it. The 318 came with a good 904 and a drive shaft (which will have to be shortened) so I plan on...

    Engine Decode?

    I'm not going to get into any brand bashing Scamp, it ain't my thing. I'll just say that a 350 Chevy may be considered the scourge of the hot rod world to some people but there's a reason so many people put them in their cars and it ain't because they're junk. ;)
