Popped in the Cozzi's Corner wwekly Tuesday cruise night with the Duster. Great turn out, nice rides (even a few sweet A-Bodies) and met a few nice car people.

Hey FABO friends, Awhile back I posted a thread asking for some assistance in finding a local shop to assemble and set up a 742 chunk with new 4.30s and new Suregrip unit. Also on a whim, I asked if any local members with experience nearby might be willing to give me a hand. Never having built...

Hey folks, Hope all my fellow FABO family is doing well. The Covid-19 stuff has been rough on everyone, but silver lining is a lot of us have more time to wrench on our projects. Got the Duster running and stopping this past week and took The Boss for a ride today. First time in nearly a...

Just saw this.... been there many times over the years. Was the go to strip in this area since 1964. Hopefully someone buys it and keep it open. Fingers crossed! Be well folks Pat

Hey Folks, Caught on Camera! I hope everyone's doing well and staying healthy. Last week one of my neighbor's text me to tell me his little guy's celebrating his 11th Birthday (on 4/28) and was getting into cars. Asked if I'd pull the Duster out for a little parade he was trying to organize. Of...

Well, first and last start up for awhile. Fired up the Duster yesterday morning for the first time in months. My neighbors love me lol! Spent 5 hours cleaning and organizing the garage in preparation for winter wrenching. It's amazing how much crap and clutter found its way into the garage...

Bears vs Packers, gonna be a good game I think. And a good reason to drink a few beers and eat some nachos tonight! (Not that we need a reason! LOL) Love the rivalry and usually hard fought games. I will be cheering for the Bears and think they may have something for the Pack. That said, with...

Had the opportunity to attend the NHRA Nationals at RT66 today in the MOPAR suite. What a blast! The folks from MOPAR were great. Met some of the drivers that came to the suite between runs. All were just awesome, gracious, down to earth folks. Was given a sponsor viewing pass which got me down...

So I treated my Godchild and her family to a going away dinner this past weekend. They are great hard working kids and just found out that her husband received a promotion to a Mopar Parts Development & Distribution Management role at Dodge/Fiat Corporate in Detroit. Since they'll be relocating...

Hey folks, Placing an order with Rock Auto, my first time, and am not seeing a place to enter a promo code when checking out. I get to the point of providing my CC info, but see no place for Promo Codes? Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? Thanks, Pat

Hey folks, Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. So, my wife is doing some online Black Friday shopping including some parts for the Duster. A place called ASA Performance has a good price on some Wilwood brake components, but I've never heard off or dealt with them. Anyone here with first...

The Duster has been in the garage since May of last year. So much dust it looked like a barn find when I pulled it out this morning! LOL! As some of you may know, I pulled the transmission to replace the seals and bushings that had been leaking profusely. Also replaced the torque converter with...

After 15 years schlepping the girls around in 2 minivans (Caravan and Sienna) my wife aka The Boss, is finally back in a Jeep! Before the twins we had 3 Jeeps at one time, and did a lot of off roading. Her in her lifted 93 5.2 Grand Cherokee, and me in my lifted 89 4 banger Wrangler or lifted...

Hey Folks, Been too torn up to do this sooner, but wanted to reach out to my FABO family for their thoughts and prayers. My father passed away at 86 years old last week after his long battle with Alzheimer's and most recently leukemia. He went the way he told me he wanted to go, with dignity in...

I know it's a day early, but will be traveling tomorrow and may unable to post. Thank you, each and every one of you, for your sacrifices, all you have done and are still doing to take care of our Great Country! While we may be a bit divided as a country these days, when push comes to shove...

Hey Folks, Just taking a moment to remember the men and women that passed on 911, along with all the heros that risked it all to save lives. God Bless America. USA USA USA! Be well all Pat

Hey Folks, Been away from FABO and working on the Duster for quite a few months and just wanted to say "Hey". My Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's awhile back and I have been taking care of getting him and my mom moved into a condo in WI (A few miles from my Sister & Brother's places), and...

Hey Folks, Well been some bitter sweet times recently. My folks are in their mid 80's (married 63 years!) and for health reasons and to be closer to us kids, they've decided to sell their two story place on a lake in Michigan and move to a one story condo on the bay in Wisconsin (my brother &...

A brake torque button....kinda funny. Neat but funny. http://autos.yahoo.com/news/what-does-this-insanely-awesome-button-do--204659286.html I love the SRT8 Jeeps...Wicked fast Jeeps! Pat

Well, my daughter and I got the Duster together in time to make tonight's show. (We thrashed until midnight last night to get it done) And drove to the show this evening. It was a great night, with great cars and great people. Even met my first FABO member in person! Here's a few pics...will get...

Well after months of work...the moment of truth. I don't know about other folks, but I get really anxious during that first attempt to fire her up after pulling things apart and putting it back together. Didn't do any major work, but I was still jacked when she fired right up. video...

Thought I'd post up some pics from today's Mopower Madness Show & Swap. The day was fantastic, A TON of badass cars and a great bunch of Mopar fans. The Chicagoland Mopar Connection did a great job coordinating the event and the members are all cool folks. My Wife and Kids had a great day. God...

It was 56F and sunny today, so my wife and I decided to take one last spin around town with the Duster before putting her away for the winter. We also took advantage of the warm day to put up the Christmas lights. It was awesome actually being able to feel my fingers while clinging to the ladder...

Hi Folks, After many quick/helpful assists from fellow FABO members, most recently from several guys that responded to a question I posted in the Body/Interior/Trim area, I am compelled to share a comment that I originally made in that thread: "In the short time I have been part of the...
