And yes mine is a bat poop crazy redhead x stripper. She will also lay on the ground for a week outside on side of a mountain for the chance to harvest an elk. She is leading all shooters in the women’s league pistol division. And is chomping at the bit to drive the Demon. Heck Raini might even like her. On plus side she is not hard to look at either. Never says boo when I buy the next must have part or project car. And yes she has a sister, yet another redhead but not available, hah! I am all sentimental after a day in the shop sipping crown royal trying to out last the blizzard. Here is a pix of my fearless Shepard Hemi in blizzard mode. We had to open door to shop every hour or so and dig out or we could not open the door due to drifts.

My wife is a blonde bombshell, with the fire of a pissed off redhead. She’s not into the nitty gritty of cars but she does like going and seeing the local car shows. She hates long car rides so getting her to go the the Nats and Carlisle will never happen. It is what it is. Dogs and cats are her hobbies and I’m just fine with that.

What is it about a guy that brags about his wife but shows us a picture of his dog!

The champion spark plug banner is sooooo cool

I've always liked the champion logo but I'm discontinuing the use of champion in my cars in favor of auto lite. :rolleyes:
 
How's the dart coming along Mr. Tike. @dartnabout Great to see it in your avatar.

I have an old pic of my 71 when it has icicles hanging off the front bumper, one deep freeze awhile back.

You know the only thing that bugs me about 73+ darts is the fact that they don't have vent wing windows.

Part of me thinks they look cleaner
Part of my can't let go of the vent windows
 
Yup. Think all Dusters and Dart Sports were sans vent windows. Later ones only had pop out rear windows. That's just wrong.
When I was looking at XJs, working vent windows are limited. An important feature IMO.

I had Autolites in both my cars and I wend back to Champs. Wrong heat range in both and the ones in the Swinger I could hardly get out. They didn't appear to be carboned up on the end but it was like the threads were oversized or they were Loctited in. :wtf:

I pulled the Champions out of my 360 Magnum MP crate engine in favor of the Autolights. Even the Mopar paperwork that came with it recommended the Autolights. Why the previous owner chose Champions, IDK.

It runs much better with the Autolight copper core plugs.

All dusters had pop out rear windows. I have a 71 and a 75 duster and some in between and they all pop out the same.

Kegan converted his to vent wing. I’ve been torn between doing it as well.

I think it's a great idea only because the doors with the wing windows are the metal top doors and the non vent ones are the later ones with the plastic upper trim.

That plastic trim is a bear to find these days. Much simpler with the metal tops, except you can burn your arm on the hot metal in the summer (I have a few times but so worth it) :eek:

Hmmm what do you mean by trim? I took mine off and it was all metal, unless we’re talking about two different things
