What do you do when you have several tons of scrap aluminum piled up (because junk isn't worth crap) and you're bored? You repurpose a turn of the century wood stove and a rusty tailpipe and hair dryer into a forge. Amazing what kind of flame you can get from one tiny piece of firewood and a...

I've been searching for a transfer case for my Dodge Dakota Turbo Diesel and I found one, the problem is, it's like 700 miles away from me. It's a Divorced Mount Fulltime 4WD/AWD NP203 from a 70's Ford F250 and those monsters weigh 150+ pounds. I found it online, through a junkyard in Gurnee...

Oh yeah, this one definitely was undercut from the very beginning. I quoted a buddy $450 to spray his Furd if he covered the materials... A couple hundred hours later, his cluster $&@! Bronco is finally out the door. Major dent repair, rust repair and respray inside and out, along with...

Well, we've got threads on Overrated and Underrated bands. How about one for the lesser played songs from known bands that only get a select few songs played (repeatedly). So here's one to those songs that should get some airtime, but don't. I'll start it off. A couple from BOC's forgotten...

For years, I ran a 1971 Charger 22" 2 Core Radiator in my '84 Dodge D50, with an .060 Over 11:1 Compression 273 and I had to limit my Town Driving during the warm months to short distances or it'd overheat. I'd flushed it many times and the radiator was clean (but must have had a blockage...

I've been building a few custom guitars in my free time, a few for myself and a double neck for my best friend. My current creation is a Fretless 7 String Strat style guitar, with a longer neck than your standard Strat or Gibson (equates to about a 28 fret neck when measured in Strat scale)...

The weather is getting nice, and I should be busting the Blown Duster out of storage. Something has to offset all that fuel consumption though :D :burnout: So, it's time to break out the ol' Yamahog. She hasn't moved in years, ever since the fuel tank sprang a leak (crack at the seam). Not...

I picked up a "new" bike today. Don't worry, I still have my 1978 Yamaha DT175E too. On my way through town I passed a second-hand shop that had a pair of vintage motorcycles outside with their other products. I turned around in a hurry and went back... I bought the older of the 2 bikes...

I'm searching for a new Fuel Selector Valve for the gas tank on my 1978 Yamaha DT125 (175 top end) only I'm not having much luck. Found some for other bikes and some used ones (I'd rather buy a new part) Are all Thread On valves the same size and thread pitch? If they are, it would make it...

Last week I was hanging out with some friends (As well as towing one of their cars to the shop) and phones and internet popped up in the discussion, since one of my friends doesn't have internet at home yet and he's still stuck in the 1990's with an ancient cellphone, that by all rights...

I was looking into Classic tags/registration for my '73 340 Duster, with the option to use a "Vintage" (period correct) License Plate. Same goes for my '48 Dodge, only as an Antique with a period correct '48' plate. http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/pdotforms/fact_sheets/fs-ant.pdf If you...

Any of you have a little bit of experience with home audio (surround sound) systems? I've been thinking about wiring my Half-Stack (guitar amp) into my Surround Sound system, to really rattle some windows. Is it as simple as connecting the Outputs on my half stack to the inputs on the...

I was having some trouble with the lokar kickdown cable in my '84 D50 (Small Block conversion) and Rumblefish360 helped me out. He sent me this arm/plate to connect a Lokar Kickdown to a Thermoquad or AVS carb and he even included a bolt and nut with it too. He also packed it very well, it...

About 12 years ago I picked up a nice compound bow for a great price, but it was way too much for me to handle. So I hunted with a trusty .30.06 or a .30.30 instead. I may not hunt with it, but it would give me something to do when I'm bored, like right now. I dusted off the old bow, dug out...

Anybody have some tips? There is a feral/wild cat that just showed up a bit ago. A rare 'tortie' breed, looks identical to a cat I used to have (who was stolen out of my fenced in backyard about a year ago). Even has the same markings in the same spots, but she is extremely skittish and runs...

Ever have one of those moments? I'm having one right now. When I bought my '74 there was a new front lower quarter welded in on the passenger side, and a skim of body filler on the driver's side. having gone over most of the car with a magnet, i overlooked the driver's front lower quarter...

I am... A while back I put the '71 Duster Grille and all the associated parts for my '74 Duster in the trunk of my '71 Demon and closed the trunk lid. Thought I'd pull them out and start cleaning the stuff so I could install it on my '74, pulled the keys for the Demon out of my pocket and the...

One of my regular customers stopped by to chat for a while, and as he was leaving he says. "I know you love your cars, I've got something here you might want." Reaches into the back of his truck and pulls out a B&M Shifter, Told me he was gonna junk it, but gave it to me instead :glasses7: He...

Yesterday I was driving through town and I happened to spot a 1985(ish) Dodge D50 parked. I have a bit of a soft spot for the 1st Gen D50's, and own an '84 myself. What caught my eye is, the truck looked beautiful from the outside (Which is rare in this area. I thought i was the only person...

I know not everybody drives their A-Bodies in the Snow (despite that thread showing some trekking through the slush :D ) So what do most of you guys run in the slop? Bonus points if it's actually a Dodge, but I won't deduct any if you're running (rusting) a cheby or furd in the snow :D I have...

Stopped by Oldmanmopar's place today to buy some goodies for my '71 Demon Project. Found an ad online and when I called I didn't even know he was also on here, Made the arrangements to meet up Saturday morning since the boss/my dad wanted to pick up a TV in Philly, and some parts elsewhere...
