It's a cool series and when I learned they were filming in Pgh again, I contacted the production and was called to bring in my car for background.

    '75 400 and 727 what are they worth?

    Here's a local ad for a "rebuilt" 400 and rebuilt 727. I talked to the guy who told me, the "rebuild" consisted of at home hone, rings, cam bearings, cam, fuel pump, oil pump, distributor, aluminum 4 bbr intake and Edelbrock carb. He seems real flexible on the price. The tranny he said was...

    wrenching on your car in crappy weather

    So, tomorrow I plan on replacing the brakes on my daily driver ’06 Fusion. I’ll be outside in the cold, as my Mopars are tucked away in my large double garage. It will be around 30 degrees F with a chance of snow. I could just take the car to a shop, but I don’t want to pay over double just for...

    1967 Barracuda in Mopar Action

    Did anyone else check out that purple "Barracuda" in MA? Basically, someone molested a '67 Cuda. Yeah, I know tons of work and high tech went into it, and it's their car they did it their way - I get that. That grill puts it over the top for me. What's your opinion?

    stupid me looked at welding for a second

    My buddy was welding some exhaust for me, and I made the dumb mistake of looking at the weld for about a second or two. :banghead: I was about 10 - 12 feet away. My eyes feel ok now - just happened an hour ago. Are they gonna really burn later? was 1 or 2 seconds not enough time to do damage? Is...
