Hello, It looks like the last post was over 3 1/2 hours ago. When I try to comment on a thread, it states that there is a software error. Who else gets the same message?

Hello, Usually I buy everything from Classic Industries but I wanted to get some advice from you all on what other options exist. My 72 Duster project has a story! I bought it in 2007 for my brother in law that wanted to get into the classic car hobby. His interests rose, peaked, then dropped...

I’m honest enough to admit that I don’t know everything so help me out here. It seems that whenever I go to another town for a visit or vacation, the locals seem to be friendly. I am Not the world traveler that many of you are, I’ve never been out of the country. I’ve been to Georgia, Florida...

Ha.... My very first one did, a '69 Dart 318 I had for a little over a year in 82-83. I sold it to buy a Dart Sport. About a year after I sold it, I saw it at a local U-Pull-It junkyard. It was a sad moment for me. It wasn't even wrecked, they must have encountered something mechanical they...

Last summer I parted out a 74 Duster and these things may have come from that car.

Today I stumbled upon a small stash of UNused oil in bottles that had no date code on them but did have the SAE API circle with ratings of SD and SF. I thought that I was told that the higher in the alphabet the second letter was, the higher the detergent level. In short, an oil like this...

Not just a Mopar guy, though these are his favorite cars. I've read his stuff for years and watched many of his videos. I hope he gets well soon.

Check it out....

I have a steel power steering cooler in my 70 Charger and have been looking for spares. Mine came from a mid 80s M body police car. Diplomats and Gran Fury models had them. Mine is attached to a Saginaw power steering pump. These donor cars are harder to find than they were in the early 2000s...

Yeah, I know....when these engines are built back to stock, everything fits and works as intended. Stamped steel valve covers, Iron intake, etc. When we deviate from stock, things start to get messy. Take for example, the popular cast aluminum valve covers that many of us like to use. Holley...

Hey, I'm not cheap. I don't mind spending a few bucks to get the right stuff. I love going to junkyards and finding a good used part for my projects. Our stuff has really thinned out but sometimes a classic car shows up. I have noticed that some guys will look to later model cars and trucks...

Some call them "Lincoln Locker" based on the Lincoln brand of welding units. The Roadkill guys have done it several times. One was a 73-76 Dart with a 7 1/4" axle. They welded the side gears to the differential case for some drag racing action. They had a fairly stock 318 or 360 in the car, I...

Look at the grille and front bumper. I saw this picture on a drag racing site that has some Australian members. Maybe this is from down under???

I have a guy that wants to clear out his stash of parts. Most of what he has are early Valiant parts. Fenders, doors, hoods and grilles. He has some alternators and starters, Slant six blocks and such. NO aluminum stuff. Hubcaps, 13" wheels, maybe some interior bits and pieces. I told him that...

Although I enjoy the show, The Walking Dead really stretched the truth in many ways. They had people driving cars YEARS after the world crashed using gasoline that was several years old. That would never work here in California. Our gas is "Up to 10% Ethanol". Testing has found it to be...

A guy at FBBO is closing out: FOR SALE - 8-3/4 Third Members & Axle Assemblies Not me, not my stuff.....Just passing along info.

While I am not much of a fan of the early A body models, I am noticing that there are several things about them that the later cars did not have. I don't have as much experience with the 63-66 as the later ones but it seems like the early cars had tighter body panel gaps. They had more...

A respected friend has some hood inserts for 2nd generation Barracuda hoods. He wasn't sure the exact year or the value of them so I offered to help. The chrome is great, these are just really dusty. He has 4 pair of these in equal condition. NONE have engine size callouts. Can someone please...

Hello, I am not familiar with how the numbers are supposed to match up on the early cars. I have a 65 Dart and am curious. I have a fender tag that partially matches a stamping on the core support but these numbers do not coincide with the VIN that is mounted in the left door jamb. Are the...

Hey there, It looks like Rock Auto lists the same switch for many , many cars from the 60s. The switch I see is listed for under $12 ! Can this be right? I have a 65 that I am putting together and it sure would be great to get a deal like that. Thanks

Like many of you, I have a series of project cars here that are in various stages of completion. One of the cars belongs to my Brother in law. The project started in 2007. It only needs interior work now but since the BIL lives out of state, I am storing the car in my shop. In 2007 we replaced...

I see this becoming a hot topic again. Some people that I respect seem to have no problem with it but it rubs me the wrong way. They claim that they are not doing it to cars that will be misrepresented or sold but what happens in the future? Owners die, cars get sold and new owners may be...

There was a member here that grafted a 68 Dart taillight panel to what I thought was a 67-69 Barracuda. What happened to that guy? Did he finish the car? Has anyone heard anything new about that guy or the car? Seemed like an interesting project.

Every time I pass through a city I wonder if there are any hidden gems tucked away, waiting to be saved. recently I was working in Fort Bragg CA. After work one day I decided to cruise the streets in search of a derelict Duster or a Charger that someone gave up on. I thought it would be more fun...

I have a theory to explain why the Mopar crowd may be behind the times as compared to the GM and Ford guys: While Chrysler abandoned REAR wheel drive performance cars in the 70s, the other guys soldiered on. The Camaro/Firebird along with the G body Monte Carlo, Cutlass, Gran Prix and Regal...

I was happy to do it.

Sometimes you need a tool that nobody makes. Sometimes the tool is available but it costs too much. I'm planning a cam swap in the Charger. Part of the job includes changing the valve springs. I called Summit for a Powermaster spring compressor, but their ETA for delivery is 2 weeks! Being the...

I kicked ***. Silly story. I was on the way home from a car club meeting in the Charger one night, stopped at a light. 3 lanes merge into 2, I am in the left, the WRX is in the right. I look over, he blips the throttle a bit. I smiled and looked away. The light turns green and I leave the line...

I'm sure that there are plenty of you that take stuff to car shows and swap meets . You pack stuff up that you think should sell. You take stuff that you hope will sell, and you throw in some small trinkets that you'll never use. Last weekend in Fremont CA, I sold a crazy amount of stuff that I...

I have 3 sets of the iron adjustable rocker arms/pushrods/shafts from 1965 273 engines and I'm not sure how to price them. I saw a set on ebay for $125 a month or so ago. Is that a fair price ?
