Hey everyone, just been working a lot and just got back from vacation cruise. Before we left this time we did RPDE at Daytona again, 167mph this time, 20 laps, the instructor kept looking over and adjusting the cars power, since I had done it before I was going full out, I think he was trying...

Never know who you will meet sitting in a ferry line. A 38 Chevy pulled up next to me in the Kingston ferry line in Kitsap County wa. Got out and started talking to the guy, turns out he was Lance Morris. He worked for Chrysler on the Trans Am program, with Keith Black and Dan Gurney...

Hi guys, I remember a year or so ago, someone posted a folder with all of the Led Zepplin songs on it. I moved and lost my ipod, and formated my computer, and for some reason, they are not on my ITunes song list, can someone point me to that link again. I search but nothing I...

some interesting cars this yr, Mod Top Dart, 71 Gator Grain Cuda, AMX convert, Charger Convert(they shoulda made it), 1 of the 750 87 Shelby Shadow CSX made, and a 87 Shelby Shadow CSX-T Thrifty Car Rental car, 1001 of those made, a 69 A12 Dealer Preped Show car, original drive train out of it...

Fun thread... what is the strangest, most expensive, oddest car you have sat in, driven, ridden in? Me? I got a ride in Bob Kropp's 70 Hemi, 4 speed, no console, bucket seat Superbird. Sat in Jack McCoy's 69 Winston West Daytona, cant imagine 500 miles in that. Drove a Richard Petty...

So, we are selling our 70 Duster, wondering what you guys think its worth, or what you would pay for it. We bought it for $7100, which may have been a bit high. My wife wants $9000, which I don't think anyone would ever pay for it, on its best day in its life here are the details Slant...

So I tried joining the Chevelle forums to ask about late 60s Chevelle's, since the 41 Chrysler is sitting on a 68 Chevelle frame. I think I even asked posted a question on there about the front suspension, and this is what I get as a email a few minutes ago. Dear rp23g7, Unfortunately...

Hey everyone, just got back from our yearly cruise. We went to Kennedy Space Center one day before, and had 16 laps at Daytona with Richard Petty Driving Experience another day. I thought I was ready for this, as I had done 20 laps at California Speedway a year before, NOT. The only way...

Hey Everyone, its Rod Run to the End of the World in Long Beach Wa, this weekend. If you never heard of it, its like the Woodward Ave, Hot August Nights of the Northwest. We have a house on Pacific and 8th St. N, in front of the Fire Station and baseball field. Stop by and say hi, cars cars...

So I am taking the engine and trans out of my sons 85 Cutlass, its got a 350/350 combo from a 79 G20 van, not sure why a 3/4 ton van wouldn't have a TH400, but WTH. I have done many trans services on Mopars and others, and have never seen worse ugliness than whats inside Gm trans pans. I...

Great documentary in it. Sound guy in the trunk of the car? Peter Fonda did most of the driving at speed, the director let peter and the others ad lib his little sayings, love them, (Every Bone in her Crotch, Braid her tits). I had no idea Susan George was British. I thought the Charger...

So, I may need some help from you that may have hador still has a Chevy before. The 41 Chrysler Street rod needs a front end rebuild. I contacted the guy that built it, and he said he made it with the front suspension of a 70 Monte Carlo, I never believed that as its way too narrow. I...

I had heard that the guy that sold the car to the place i bought it from worked at Boeing and traded his car in because he had a different car he had been more interested in. I had met the 3rd owner at a show, he had been the one that painted it and put the hood on. I think i am the 5th...

My wife bought me a Kings Experience for my Christmas present last yr, as i had it planned about 13 yrs ago, but i met her instead. We went to California Speedway. What a blast, 20 laps by myself, in a set of two 10 lap sessions. I had a ride along too, to get to know the line and a feel...

Hey Guys, got a new driver So, i sold my 73 Duster, to a guy in Germany, who wants to restore it. It needed too much work that i didnt want to do and i really bought it for a parts car, untill i decoded the tag and found it was, or used to be a nicely optioned Space Duster. Its being...

Its going to be a German speaking Duster. I really bought it for a parts car, to put the disk brakes on the SuperBee and have a second 8 3/4, so i wasnt really attached to it. After decoding the tag i found it was (once) a nicely optioned Space Duster. I didnt want to part it out even...

So..... believe it or not i have never taken a Chevy 350 apart in the 30 yrs i have been working on cars. Feel free to ridicule me:oops: My sons car has a 75 350, in a 85 Olds, from a truck. I think the timing chain needs replacing, as no matter what i do with the distributor i cant...

1984 Ram Charger, Just picked it up today, always have wanted one, just like the way they sit, way better than a Bronco and especially a Blazer. The guy spent a lot of money on it, new brakes, calipers and drums, upper and lower ball joints, bearings, tie rods, suspension stuff, new hubs, u...

So, i guess Chevy guys can smell a ignorant Mopar guy even online. I tried to get answers on some chevy forums but no one answers me. My son has a 1979 Monte Carlo. It has a 200 V6. 60 degree, distributor in front. Not sure of the trans. The car is a few hundred miles away. Its pretty...

My interior is almost done, my friend works for a interior shop and did my seats on the side. All that is left is Headliner, sail panels, windlace, seat belts, replacing my standard dash with the ralley insert and dash frame. I have the sill plates, rear arm rests, window cranks and door...

Hey guys, i took the Duster into Clearview Glass, in Clearview Wa, (dont go there) because they said they had a new windshield. They took the glass out first, IDIOTS, and then found that the glass they had was not the correct windshield, so i had them put it back in, and they cracked it...

Those other really popular cars from the late 70's to 90's? The wife and I were talking about this the other day. You know, like the early 90's Ford trucks with the Nite package, those early 90's Silverado's that came lowered from the factory with Boyds rims. The late 70's Dodge Warlock's...

I finally got the 73 running right, YAY, turns out it was a timing issue, i ended up timing it to 35 degrees total, without the advance hooked up, then added the advance, and then adjusted the carb with a vacume gauge. It still needs a lot of work, interior rust work and a whole new interior...

So, short bit of info here, 5 yr bankruptcy + wifes fathers Mesothilioma lawsuit= bankruptcy paid off and no credit, so to build credit again we needed to finance something. Wifes choice, since it was her money really, i told her get what you want to drive. She has always been a truck...

Every body probably knows this, but I met Slant Six Dan last night, he is a great guy. My wife's red 70 Duster had a stumble off idle, the records that came with the car state the carb was repaced in 97. He stated the reman carbs are junk, and had one for sale. Well i popped that puppy on...

The 70 and the 73 got delivered just about the same time Friday night, woo ho Dustermania. Here are some better pics of them. The 70 is a bone stock 70 Duster with a Slant. Its got every single service record since it was new. Engine and trans got rebuilt at 242,000 miles, the rear just got...
