    69 Coronet 440 project

    Just read this entire thread from start to latest post, and thanks for your posts and pix. Stuff like this is a big inspiration and helps to build confidence in those of us who haven't attempted some of the work you and others are performing for the first time. If I could suggest a name for your...

    How to clone a 72 roadrunner

    I also own a '72 Sat, and here are some things I have learned. A nice grille for a '72 typically sells for well over $1000 when you can find one. I have seen driver quality ones for $1400 starting bids on ebay. The rear valance with the dual cutouts for a '72 is not being repopped to the best...

    Car Craft Summer Nationals in Minnesota July 20

    Thanks for your thoughts. I was attending the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals in the early 1980's when they were held at the Indy Fairgrounds, and later in DuQuoin, IL. Always had a good time, but I was easily impressed and usually drunk and foolish in those days. I do remember thinking even...

    Car Craft Summer Nationals in Minnesota July 20

    Anyone been to St. Paul in the last few years? Curious as to your impressions of the facilities and events at this show. Are the Mopars well represented, or is this mostly GM and Fords? Interested in checking out the autocross event, and it is about half the distance to Carlisle for me.

    Monster Mopar Fall Ball Sept 2012 @Indy & 2nd Annual Paul Wilson Memorial

    I attended this event last year. Nice wing car turnout. Met Mr. Norm and had him sign a T-shirt. Very nice to get to talk to a legend like him in person. I love to see car shows at 1/4 mile tracks, where you can drive your car like it was made to be driven, without endangering others or risking...

    Mopars at Carlisle vs Mopar Nationals Opinions?

    I've been to the Mopar Nationals at National Trail for several years running and enjoy the whole scene- swap meet, show cars, cruising Brice Rd. etc... Especially enjoy the racing action since it is held at a real 1/4 mile track. Never been to Carlisle, but have heard some good things. Sounds...

    Oil Drops Below $90 Oh Oh

    You are correct about the oil being sold today being weeks away from our local gas pumps. Yet any time there is some event or natural disaster that is likely to raise the price of gas, we see the price increase at the pump within a day or two of the headlines.

    brighter head light or head light H-4 conversion

    Brilliant !!! Thanks to slantsixdan for your thoughts and recommendations, and to subboz for thoughts and pix! In addition to older wiring, our eyes are older and weaker than they were back in the day, so any improvements that can be made become that much more important. It is always helpful to...

    Pix of the 68 GTX Here are a couple pix of the car. They are probably several years old, but it is all I can get for now.

    1968 real Hemi GTX

    Thanks for your thoughts. I should have said we are in the process of seeking an appraisal, but do not know much about contacting appraisers, fees involved, etc... We are also considering hauling the car to the Nationals in August and seeing what interest it may generate there. Another friend...

    1968 real Hemi GTX

    A lifelong friend passed away recently, and I am attempting to help his widow sell his collection of Mopar cars, trucks and parts. He bought a 68 Hemi GTX in 1977 at the age of 17, and drove it in the summertime until about 1983. It was then garaged, and restoration began at a snails pace while...

    how much is it worth

    If you want it for the interior, offer what you are comfortable paying for the interior. It does seem like the rest is too far gone to be of a lot of use. With the price of steel these days, if you can get a title, the rest may be worth more to a steel recycler than a boneyard. A lady from my...

    Do you launch with 1 or 2 hands on the Steering Wheel

    I go to the strip a lot as a spectator, have only driven a few times. Most would say they have no idea where my hands were, but my head must have been planted firmly between the lower cheeks!

    Driveshaft length

    Thanks for this chart Kernel. Been wondering the same thing about my 72 Satellite. Will also be able to verify that my 8 3/4 is correct for 71-74 B bodies. Can you let us know where the chart is from?
