I'm guilty of paying a lot for a real nice part that would finish my car, but nothing even close to what's been posted here. But when I see these auctions I can't imagine that anyone is actually buying these parts at these prices. I just assumed it was some kind of insurance scam or something.

What about the performance data?

392, same cubic inches of the Challengers of the 60's? Five speed Pistol Grip? Which magazine is this in, Gardening World?

My daughter has a 64 Valiant, it's pretty rough at this point.

It did! If you want it it's yours, but I think Elkton, MD is more than 300 miles from you.

I have one too. It's got new brakes shoes, wheel cylinders, everything is painted and the drums didn't need to be turned since it only has 17,000 miles on it. No one would take it for free.

The Magnum is an awesome ride. It does everything well and carries the kids and all their gear in comfort. Mine is an '08 R/T with a 5.7 and bit of a freak. In stock form has run a best of 13.34 @ 104. Not too bad for a daily driver.

Gregg who? Is he an actor? And what the hell is a Mustang, a horse?

While it's nice that the higher prices have driven manufacturers to make parts for our cars it's not even close to worth it. I would much rather have to scour junkyards and backyards looking for parts to complete a car then be able to put my car together from a catalog and have it worth so much...

This one won't run well with manifolds, but even with having to swap them in twice it's still probably more work to build a stand. Well there's always that.

Well, I've built a bunch of engines and cars over the years and this would be the first time I ever needed a break-in stand. It's also the first time I've spent that much on headers. Project creep is probably what I am most afraid of in building a stand. It wouldn't take much to build...

I think I know the answer to this, but figured it couldn't hurt to get other people's opinion. In the next few weeks I will be assembling my new engine. I also scored a new set of Doug's ceramic coated headers, which I don't want to ruin breaking in the engine. That leaves me two choices: 1)...

I converted to a four speed from a three speed, but this was my final cost: Transmission 250.00 Transmission Hump 20.00 Clutch and Pressure Plate 351.00 Throwout Bearing 47.90 Resurface Flywheel...

That car was listed for $2999, reduced from $8900. The guy never got back to me. I have a thing for 68 Darts and would love to have one, but that thing looks like a parts car to me.

I am jealous, that is one bitchin' ride

I've run at MIR a few times, but Cecil County is about 15 minutes away. I am totally spoiled by that.

Yeah that was another one! This one is double tough for me since it's half the distance away and it would actually be functional. Every time I see the pics of this thing I think how cool it would be towing my Valiant to the track.

Unfortunately the distance thing is killing me or I'm sure we could make a deal. If I could get the time off I would come get it, but it'll be the end of January before I could get down there. If it's still around then we should talk.

Other than the standard degreaser what should you clean an engine with before painting so it will last? Do you use any primer, wax and grease remover? Any other tips? This car gets driven at least 5K a year and I'd like it to last awhile. Thanks

Really? PM sent

Building an engine and looking for a machine shop that speaks Mopar, has deck plates and does good work. The guy I use is over three hours away and is booked forever. And leads would be appreciated.

Sounds like he knows what he's talking about. Sure makes the rest of his review suspect.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but why do you have these rules anyway? If some tool has the last part I need to finish my car I'll put up with some crap to get it. It's better than not seeing the ad at all. On the other hand if you guys deem the rules are 100% necessary you don't owe any...

Here's my daughter back when she was seven and my son from last year. They're both working on their own projects.

That photo sure looks like a drawing to me.

This reminds me of one of those ads where they guys wants $900 for a $300 car or else he'll scrap it because it's not worth his time.

While taste is subjective and he may have talent for smoothing bondo, he's got a terrible eye. The flares are too wide in the front and too narrow in the rear making it look like it was put together from a kit and not well thought out. The diameter of the rear tires is too big for the...

A 1968 Charger is the most aesthetically pleasing automobile ever built. If only you were closer...

It's the same way here, just most people don't apply for the plates.
