Hey guys, I am looking a buying a 68 coronet. Where could I get the tag decoded? Thanks

started a thread over at moparts. guess I won't be buying a hemi crate. sounds like nothing but problems.

that's not good. they don't exactly give those motors away....you'd hope that they were ready to go when you go them. I will check over at moparts. thanks

I am considering purchasing a hemi crate from the local dealership. It looks like they can give me the same price as the mail order guys. Anybody have any experience here? Who's bought one before? Anything I need to look out for. I was told by the dealer to be ready to fire it within 30...

it's supposed to be out of a barracuda

I am going to look at a 426 hemi on monday that supposedly came out of a 68 year car. what block casting numbers should I look for? thanks

I plan on doing a hemi so the motor really doesn't matter.....other than what i could sell it for. The 383 would probably be worth something and the 318 nill.

OK guys, I need your mopar wisdom here. I have been looking for my next project. I would like to do a hemi clone something. I have a line on 2 cars. One is a 66 coronet with an original 318. Very solid orignal car. The second is a 67 belvedere. Again, very orignal with 383 and 727. The 67...

i was heading down I 81 south of Carlisle PA in route to Roanoke VA last thurs and bumped into the PT traffic heading north. It was very interesting to watch all the cars going the other way for about 4 hours. I am seriously going to try to make some of it next year. I have a friend with a 68...

congratz....i think it is even more special when you did all the hard work yourself.

thanks dusterdon....that's the type of info I am looking for. I also determined that my trunk seal is not tight. I can slide a piece of paper in there. It's a brand new seal but I need to do something to get it tight.

how far out should they be? they are about 2-3 inches behind the bumper now. They look good. if they stick out further I think they would look funny.

I am getting exhaust fumes inside my 68 fastback. It seems to be the worst with the window down and if I really nail it. I have plugged all the holes in the thrunk and have trunk seal on. I have holes cut in the back panel for speakers with no speakers so I even tried to cover up those with...

Hey guys, Just wondering how many of you kept track of the hours you put in to your restoration? I bought my car with fresh paint, rebuilt motor and tranny and rear end all out of the car. Most of the hard work done. I ended up replacing both front and rear suspension components. (with disc...

i don't know the vin. I think it was a factory auto car but I am not sure. i looked inside at the hump and it looked like a factory auto set up.

I had a client of mine offer me a 1970 Dodge Dart for $5000 today. It is an old drag racer from the 80's. He bought it 3 years ago from the mom of the kid who owned it. He died in the 80's and mom had it stored in her barn since then. I looked at it breifly but it was tucked away in a dark...

I am thinking for my next project I would like to do a police car. Gumball on top, etc. What year and models were police cars in the 60's and 70's? thanks

spent the day in the shop today...back on the Barracuda. It seems good to be back at it. Haven't worked on the car since September. Had to pull the tailshaft case off the back of the 727. The guy that built the motor and the the tranny didn't realize that the tailshaft case didn't thave the...

I love it!!

wow....I love it.

check out the cars in the background in these pics...

Are the drum brakes parts easily available? I am talking about pads, springs, hubs, the wearable stuff. i.e. Is there any reason to keep old drums.

Is there a support brace on a 68 barracuda from the frame to the front wheel fender in front of the tire? I don't have one and I am having problems with my tire hitting the front part of the fender. I just saw a brace on a GTX and eureka!..I am thinking maybe I am missing a brace.

nobody is really answering your question and I am interested in the answer because I am in the same boat you are!

at what HP level do you recommend them?
