Got mine from Jkirk today! Very cool set of stuff (and stuff I actually need for my restoration)! Pics up soon. Great stuff, Jon. Thanks so much!

Ha! You're welcome, Jon. Hope it helps with those home renovation projects. This Old House highly recommended it.

Mine went out yesterday. I didn't have anything interesting around the shop that fit the request, so I sprang for something new instead. Hope you like it.

I'm in. Sounds like fun!

Thanks for the well wishes. Yeah, I talked to Murilee over there and there has NEVER been a Slant in LeMons history. It'd be really cool if we could be the first. A Volaré wagon would be great. I have my eye on a few Valiants locally that might do the job just fine. We could call ourselves...

Thanks! Yeah, it's a great race, and I'm really hoping our team can make it happen. If anyone has an A, F, J or M body they're looking to unload for cheap/free in the Southeast, please let me know!

I agree, it would be great to have an early A run, but it would have to be completely devoid of any restorable value. Ideally, we'd like to run a 70s Dart or Valiant 4-door with a 225/833 combo, but we're open for whatever comes our way. We're still looking for drivers and crew members if you...

In case you haven't heard of this little race circuit, 24 Hours of LeMons is a nationwide series of endurance races for cars that cost $500 or less. This means that the entire car, parts and labor (minus safety features like brakes, roll cage, etc.) must cost the team no more than $500 in total...

Here's the Flying Valiant: I get a lot of comments ranging from asking if I like guitars to liking...geese?

I will think about the electric Duster for Earth Day.

Hey, Bruce! Just saw the videos over at your blog. Very cool stuff. Looks like it still has a decent acceleration, even if it's not the same as the old 360. :) Love the dashboard too. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Don't let the haters get you down. They don't get it. They never...

That is awesome! I just read the report on your blog. Great work on this project!

I still can't get over this obsession people have with you hackin' up a Duster. IT'S A DUSTER. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Duster, but this isn't like you took a '71 Hemi 'Cuda and went to work with a sawzall. These are workhorse cars, and part of the beauty of them is you can whatever...

"Physical" by Olivia Newton-John *sigh*

Looks like a PT Cruiser drove by. A nice Barracuda should fix that branch up just fine!

You got it, buddy. Hang in there.

I'm planning on going to that show too. Hopefully I'll have my own Valiant to bring there too. :D

Whoo hoo! I was there! It was great meeting both of you. Nice to connect with other F.A.B.O.s in the Florida area. Keep me posted on that bonfire Curtis. I'll bring marshmellows.

Nearest I can tell we're looking for 1980-1992 manifolds from a Camaro, Firebird, Monte Carlo, El Camino, etc.

Not to venture off topic again, but hooray! Mopar A-bodies and Doctor Who. Somebody pinch me. Back on topic, I love the idea of a crate electric engine. That would be an excellent either/or option. Granted, the batteries would bet the hardest part. Just wait for the Chevy Volt to come out and...

That what I'm all about! New ideas to keep these cars out of the yard, back on the street, and accessible for real working guys to have something that doesn't look like a pea pod. Incidentally, it's nice to see another Doctor Who fan on the board. :)

You're quite welcome, Bruce. I'm bracing for the arrows and stones, but I'll stand by what I said. The rumble of an ICE is great, but if it means my car and other great old Mopars are sitting out back under a tarp rotting away, then forget it. Show me where to plug in. Also...I totally called...

Personally, I think this is about the most exciting thing I've heard in Mopar A-Body lore since I found out you could get 300HP from a slant six. I posted a link about this over at slantsix.org after reading about it on Jalopnik. I'll agree that most electric cars we see have no "soul," but...

I agree. FABO and SlantSix.org are my sites of choice, but I do enjoy the variety in Jalopnik. I envision Alameda as a magical place. I'm still amazed you can be on an island and not have huge rust problems.

I posted this over at slantsix.org, but I thought some of you might like it as well. Car culture website Jalopnik featured a 1961 Plymouth Valiant V-200 today. It was spotted in Alameda, California. Looks like it's in really nice shape. I was curious if it looked familiar to anyone here. Check...

That's just as good as the time we got the lady at the grocery store to get on the PA to page "Michael" Hunt. :P

I'd forgotten about that kit! I'm sure you could use AMT's 71 duster kit along with it to make up all stock components. Lindberg has a '64 Dodge 300 model that has a Slant 6 in it too.

Great detail work on the Willies, Mike! Looks great. I'm hoping we actually do get a model section going here. It would just help build the excitement. Mr. Rebel, if you want to do a barn find build, there's absolutely no better forum for tips than The Model Builders. There are builders there...

Heh. Yeah, beaters are my specialty. I don't have to do much on the Valiant to accomplish that look. :lol: It's my rare exception where I'm actually trying to make something look less crusty and rusty.

That's a great story, Ron. I think it's right on topic. Very cool. As for you, Brian. What a fantastic collection of A bodies! Way to steal my thunder. :lol: Here's a few more of mine. Not A bodies, but hopefully you won't mind. This is the off-topic area, after all. '79 Horizon '69 Dodge...
