    You help one neighbour with their car and it snowballs.

    I'm lucky to have a neighbour that is an automotive engineer. He started out by helping me with a car issue and now most of his spare time (and mine) is going to helping our neighbours. We live in a townhouse complex so everybody knows everybody. Brake jobs are the most common jobs we get from...

    I'll get around to it eventually...

    This for all of us that have running/driving cars with stuff that needs fixing and bugs us but we're putting up with it for now. In my case my car needs the steering wheel centered. It's been that way since I bought it. I had a front end alignment done and never noticed the problem either *duh*...

    More 3.6 carnage

    My wife just got bad news her 2016 Caravan that she uses for work has 2 wiped camshafts. It has 105,000 km (65,00 miles) on it. It did not even have the usual loud ticking. It's not going to be cheap. She'll need to bend over for this repair. lol.

    Grrr... was sent wrong type of pushrods.

    I had to replace the lifters in my car and ordered new pushrods at the same time. I asked for LA style ball ends but got oil through pushrods. It's a stock *69 340 valvetrain. Too much trouble to return them now. I installed them anyways. Been running them for a bit as I don't think it...

    Your first car upgrades? (Electrical/Mechanical)

    This can be for running project cars, or like in my case a driver quality done by the P.O. or even a restoration you purchased. Body work/paint interior are a separate category. Anyways my first changes were an MSD ignition and distributor, repairing a damaged carburetor (broken mixture screw)...

    Well that was dumb...

    I think we all mistakes while working on our cars, those oops moments. My worst one was when I was removing my steering wheel. I didn't have a puller so I was tapping on the back of my steering wheel to remove it. It was almost off so I decided to give it one last yank. Didn't work, so I yanked...

    How do you like your Mopar, stock, pro street, restomod, etc.?

    Probably been asked before but how do you like your Mopar done up? I prefer a stock look with performance add-ons that can easily be returned to stock. That's just me though. I do appreciate all of the cars I've seen here. If I had the money: a real SS BO29 Barracuda or real SS LO23 Dart

    Okay, show them in action.

    Many of us have video clips of our cars. It could be just idling and rumbling, doing a burnout, or just cruising. Here's mine on a private road last weekend. This thread is useless without videos.:steering:

    Does you car bring out the worst in other drivers, or is it just me?

    I try to drive reasonably in the city with my Barracuda. However I guess I'm not driving fast enough for the guys with minivans and ricers and fartcanners. lol. They go flying around me, sometimes tailing me first. The guys with the newer Mustangs and Chargers make as much noise as possible...

    Out of Hibernation first drive fiasco..

    So finally our weather turned nice here so I took the car out of storage. I think most of you guys in the colder climates must dread the first drive of the year too when the gremlins may come out Usually it's all good though. Everything was going great so I decided to get on it. Was watching...

    Anybody use these guys "Sixpack Performance".

    I tried calling them but their phone messaging wasn't set up. I need a new throttle body for a carb. Here's the link: Mopar - Accessories, Service, Parts. Six Pack Performance I wanted to make sure if it's as pictured (complete with throttle blades and mixture screws). It's strange that there...

    Hood question (69 Dart hood with factory scoop)

    I have a 69 Barracuda with what I believe to be a swapped hood from a Dart by the previous owner. I'm looking for confirmation from Dart owners. Also a question for Barracuda owners. My stock original sixpack and air cleaner will not clear with the flat original hood. Will yours clear?

    Your Favorite Abody

    I'm sure it's been asked before but.. What is your favorite Abody and do you have one? I'll start, I like second generation Barracudas. My first was a '67 Barracuda notchback, 4 speed, with a built up 318, 391 gears, what a fun car! Unfortunately no pics of it. *sigh* Pictures are encouraged.

    Project car (what was I thinking?)

    It was about 20 years ago when I decided to try and save a '67 Barracuda Formula S. It was rough .. I spent over a year patching floor pans, replacing the rear frame rails, trunk pan, torsion bar supports, rocker panels and inner fenders. At that point it still needed new rear...

    69 Barracuda in rock music video

    One of my music artists while I was working at a Detroit record label (Universal music) needed a muscle car, so I volunteered mine. No Mopar was harmed during the video. :) You can see the music video here:

    BMW drivers, why??

    Are these guys arrogant, or what? They always seem to need to show they have a fast car. I was at a light when a 750-I pulled up beside me. His lane ended about an 1/8th of a mile from the light. Wouldn't you know it, he floored it at the green. So I did the same. He got the jump on me but I...

    Gremlins cutting into drive time.

    Seems like my car is possessed lately. I have a thread going about a transmission problem that should be an easy fix, but not. Yesterday I was getting gas and heard fuel spilling under the car. Torn fuel tank grommet, again. Looks like I might need another filler tube as this is the second time...

    People knitpicking your car.

    I think we've all run into it. Park your car somewhere, people come over and look at it. Then it starts, is this original, is that correct? I avoid the car hangouts because mine is not top show quality. Funny thing is I've told people straight out, it's not perfect, and i hate knitpicking...

    Anybody else have 67 B'cuda Formula S with 7 1/4?

    I'm a little confused here. I thought I had a Formula S car, but it has a small rear? Everything looks original, but rusty. I just decoded the VIN Vehicle Identification Number: bh29e###########Vehicle Model: BarracudaVehicle Class: High Price Class (Valiant Signet, Belvedere II, Barracuda)...

    Double up throttle return springs!

    Or at least check the condition. I only had one on, and it snapped at 40MPH last night. Not knowing what happened, I made the mistake of tapping the throttle. It jumped to 50 MPH. Scared the crap out of me. I hit the brakes as hard as I could (10 inch manual brakes), and shut the motor...

    Anybody notice this when driving your Mopar?

    I'm sure all of you have noticed this too. I've had people fly from behind up to the back of my car, showing off I guess. Lots of tailgaters, maybe getting a closer look? Lots of people speed on by or gun their engines. Then there are the gawkers. Stoplights are interesting though. They usually...
