Here is a timely episode. It used to be available on YouTube but it’s not now. It was found here. Good old Art Carney!

The convertible replacement ones did sell out, I had bought a set from Tony’s. There were a few on eBay for awhile but are hard to find now. I had seen mentioned on this site that some people were using the 4-door b-body moldings and creating their own. I have a set from a ‘68 Coronet 4-door...

After watching a great interview with Alfred Hitchcock on an old Dick Cavett show it lead to seeing for the first time a very intriguing movie from 1940. There is so much happening in each scene that watching it a second time with others is a definite must.

Just to add to your Black Friday Spectacular here is a friends’ car that is active around the Chicagoland area, Joliet, Great Lakes Wi. and RT41 Dragstrip in the middle of nowhere Indiana (you should wander there sometime). 83K views · 2.5K reactions | This is a 1964 Plymouth Fury Race Car...

Fantastic Pictures, thanks for the tour from this amazing show. I used to be 30 minutes from Rosemont and attended a few of these shows. The wild custom paint jobs get my attention every time. Plus no dog dishes in sight! So creative

Ok, I’ll bite. No pun intended. Doesn’t this guy look like John Fetterm ………….oh never mind nothing to see here.

The part about the distributor needing to be grounded reminds me of something, I believe, @HALIFAXHOPS, spoke of and that is the block and the underside of the distributor need a clean connection. Sometimes re-painted blocks are a problem and another problem is sometimes a paper or similar...

I appreciate your comment as I do all others here on this great site. It’s just my thought, as from a previous picture, there was a lot of wires from the Box that were hard to see where they all ran. It’s mentioned for clarity, some of which is helpful to me. The Barn Find GTX and Sly B. are...

Sly, I have to wonder if the MSD box that is wired into your distributor system is working properly. That box, that is mounted by the battery, was seen in a previous photo you personally sent me. Maybe disconnecting that from the distributor system would show if the distributor would spark a...

Welcome Sly B to this group from the hills of Arkansas. I really dig the look of the gauges perched in front of the windshield! Awesome. It’s crazy that we just lived a couple houses from each other for many years in Illinois and you recently fell into this sweet deal on a super Plymouth...

I remember now that the UPS drop off store did weigh one package and the weight was under what I got. They also weighed the other box, which I had 2 pounds heavier and it too was under what I told them and that was a bathroom scale. Edit: No measurements though. It sounds logical to have the...

Sure hope there is a way to reduce this financial pain through dialogue with them.

Wow, that’s is excessive punishment and like as @YY1 mentioned some likely treacherous marketing going on. The small print in business transactions are a killer. Big companies trying to pad their bottom line. Pirate Ship has been discussed here and on A-bodies and it’s a great opportunity to...

Yes it is. I didn’t know he, Danny, had a band but then I didn’t watch most of those “car building shows”. No cable tv.

Out go the lights….. of course!
