    What song can bring a tear to your eye?

    A great car is the star of a new TV show coming in May 2025

    That's a good "review". Short and to the point. So, I'm not missing anything again by not having pay TV I looked at the trailer and it shows a whip antenna in a quick shot. Anyone expecting accuracy and realism out of Hollywood is sure to be disappointed. Crank up the drama and cover the crap...

    Am I being too picky? Just Dashes Dash Pads ...

    I'll comment since they may read this. Just the lower is over 1K now?? The main reason I didn't send mine is because they could not reproduce the stitching. I was willing to live with a nice ebay OE one and dye it then. And nothing seems to be perfect in this reproduction world. I think I'm...

    Need tunes in my GTX

    I'm very happy with my Tayman radio conversion. I sent mine for a simple AM/FM stereo conversion. Radios for antique and vintage cars No blue tooth or other things. Kept it simple. I might only use the car radio for traffic reporting since I want no distractions while driving. (Atlanta you...

    Frigging Bufo Toads...

    Sounds like an invasive species killed a native Florida snake.

    For you Leon Russell fans.

    The rolling pin always gets me. I think she's Russian. :poke: OT but I also think Humble Pie live owns this song. Better than the Stones even.

    1966 Charger Hemi No Sale Again at Mecum

    I'm not nearly as impressed with your car as I am with your recordkeeping. If people ask me how much, I just say "Too much".

    Too early.

    Me on midnight shift. Catch the coast to coast red eye to get home. Non rev.

    Tim Allen On Life, Loss, And Why Shop Class Still Matters

    I remember the shoe repair shop at the mall. The smell of leather was wonderful and you could watch him repair shoes. And adding "taps" to extend the heal life was just cool for a kid.

    What is the smallest car you have owned?

    I think it's almost a tie. But my older sister actually owned the 70 Honda. Bought it new at Nalley Chevrolet on Stewart Ave. (Both either renamed or defunct.) We took it over the mountains to Tenn to visit an older sister. Mom in front with sis driving and me occupying the whole back seat...

    Worst night of my life

    The best advice I can give any you person is to marry a friend. Someone that cares about YOU. And you care about HER. You both are going to get old and ugly if you live long enough. Don't be superficial. But do you like her? About 50 seconds.

    Windshield installation 1966-70 B body

    The factory manual is useless as you found out. You can do it yourself. Bottom first, sides then top. The gaskets normally aren't the problem. Sealant is necessary. Use lots on the bottom corners at the transition from cowl to A pillar. You found 8509?? As of a year or two ago there is...

    A great car is the star of a new TV show coming in May 2025

    Great. Now I'll have more people asking me if a Dodge is a Duster. At least maybe less people will think it's a Nova at the gas pump. The Dart Sport roof gives me more head room than a Dart. So that's more comfortable to me. They "drive" the same in the real world. A body envy? Is this site is...

    Is this site is working slow this morning

    Well, that's a wide open thing. Almost as vague as what qualifies as a "restoration" which I think started the discussion (OT I know) Yes to your first question in general. Example 20k for body work or paint to a shop that makes money in the deal verses doing it myself. So, shops can make...

    Is this site is working slow this morning

    Yea . At the risk of being obvious, how many times over the years has it been pointed out though that with the possible exceptions of shops in the business , restoring cars oneself is no way to make money? And witness all the hand wringing that people do about the market value of there cars...

    Is this site is working slow this morning

    FABO is for people that can afford more than one type of classic MOPAR. And those that actually drive them.

    First time watching Bullitt.

    Saw it at the theater when it came out. Got dizzy. When I tell people that have never seen it to watch it, I warn them it's a real movie. Steve kept it that way. Don't expect a lot of drama. And, Of course, the chase is the one by which all other's are judged. And don't read about it because...
