    Car doesn’t move until high RPMS.

    At this point I’m not sure if this is a transmission issue or a kickdown issue so I’m posting in in here. My car has been sitting a long time due to brake issues. Went to load it onto the trailer Saturday and noticed it was really struggling to get up the ramps. It finally got up there at around...

    Giving up on a project.

    In 2017 I ruined a main bearing. While the motor was out I decided to rebuild the transmission and switch the drum brakes to disc brakes. At the time I was single and had friends around to help so everything went great until last year. My friends got busy, I got engaged, and I bought a house...

    Bolt ID

    I know this is a long shot but I’ve got the car back together with 1 bolt left over and a few missing. This is the one that is left and I can not figure out where it went. Already wasted 30 minutes trying to thread it into the block though the trans housing.

    Throwing in the towel on a project?

    I’ve been off the forums since July. For the first time in my life I’ve been juggling my family and another family (soon to be in laws). I started a project a couple years ago. It was an engine rebuild, transmission rebuild and disc brake conversion. Engine and trans are done and brakes are...

    Need to get motivated

    I haven’t laid a finger on my car in almost 6 months. Engine is on the stand and the entire front suspension and steering is off it. Whenever I have spare time I always find something else to mess with instead of working on the car. Usually I say “don’t force yourself to do a hobby or you will...

    Headset rental for Nascar. Worth it?

    i am by no means a Nascar fan but when someone offered me a free ticket I couldn’t refuse. Tomorrow I’ll be going to my first race and wanted to know if I should fork out the cash to rent a headset to listen to the drivers and crew chiefs.

    Getting nervous about cost of engine rebuild.

    This will be the first time I have ever had someone else rebuild an engine for me and I am getting a little nervous that it could be more than expected. The engine is a small block. They are turning the crank, balancing the engine, porting the heads, installing new springs, and using a set of...

    Lifting engine block with a hoist?

    I need to get my block into the back of my truck but I do not have the help to just carry it at the moment. The engine is stripped to the block and in a stand so I am not too sure where to hook a chain.

    Why does Dodge go cheap with their steel?

    I have been looking at trucks now for a couple months and I have mainly been interested in Fords but I figured I would check out a few Rams as well. Last night I looked at a 2013 1500 with 56k miles. The truck was perfect. EXCEPT for three rust bubbles on the bed. This truck is not even 5...

    High rpm at 60?

    Took my dart out on the interstate for the first time since my rebuild and rear end swap. The car did great, never overheated or cut out and it drove straight as an arrow. I am thinking 3200 rpm is a little high for 3:55 gears at 60 mph. Tires are 235/60/15 by the way. Motor is a aluminum...

    Getting the dart ready for its first road trip?

    The plan is to drive my dart down to the Holley hot rod reunion in a few weeks. The farthest I have driven the car lately is about 20 miles though and I am a bit nervous about the journey. I have two main concerns. The first is the trans which is shifting through the gears before I get over...

    Got a good Craigslist deal yesterday!

    I saw a 750 double pumper pop up on Craigslist Sunday for 150 bucks. Went out and looked at it last night and ended up taking it home for 130. Needs a couple mixer screws but I plan on having it rebuilt anyways. I feel like I got a good deal for 130.

    Taking a break from the dart.

    This usually happens to me once a year but I have lost interest in working on my car and driving it. It was beautiful out today and I spent the day hiking and grilling out. Usually it only last for about a month and I find time to do other things while the dart sits under the cover in the...

    It's 5 Am here and I am off work today but I just woke up from the worst dream I have had in a long time. In the dream a guy had the dart up on a lift and it took a nose dive off. It was totaled and I immediatly started crying like a little girl in the dream. I haven't driven my car in...

    Best way to clean up a mess?

    My old electronic ignition was leaking the sticky goo out of the back of it and down onto my inner fender. What would be the best way to get this stuff off? It is still very sticky by the way and wanted to get it up before putting my new box on.

    I just saw a thread that gave me the idea for this and figured I would see if it gained traction. I always see a bodies driving around town and always wonder if they are members and I am sure others do to so this is a place to post pictures of the cars and give credit to the owners. I'll...

    What can I do that's cheap?

    I have been in the mood to work on my car a lot lately and was wondering what I can do this week that's cheap and will make my car look better or run better. I am trying to stay under 100 bucks and was thinking along the lines of rebuilding the front drums or taking off the side trim...
