Got back last night from spending the day at the cabin. Started construction on a storage/shower house building (12' by 8'). Cut some grass. Did some target shooting. Terry W.

I've had the shifter rod fall out twice in the 50 years I've owned my 71 Challenger. The first time was in 1973 after having a transmission shop do some work on it. It bent the rod when I pulled over to the side of the road and it hit a crack. I was able to straighten it out with no damage done...

Here's one for you that just happened about two weeks ago in our residential neighborhood. A family in a house across the street and 3 houses down are rather strange. The husband/father likes to walk around talking to himself and he will say hello and makes off the wall comments sometimes. His...

I just removed and reinstalled the strut rods on an e-body which is just like your car. I had to remove the lower control arms to remove and reinstall the strut rods. At that point, I just replaced ball joints (boots were cracked), tie rod ends, UCA bushings, torsion bar pivots, etc. I thought...

I've been attending the Hunter Education Class this week with my grandson who wants to start hunting up on our place in the mountains. I don't hunt but I encounter hunters on my place all the time. Some have my permission and some don't. I have a friend who is quite the hunter and fisherman who...

If it was a restored show car, I'd pay the price. If it's a car that I'm building to drive and I'm on a budget, I'd make up something with over-the-counter parts as shown above. Terry W.

My dad was an electrician by trade but really liked cars. He helped me put clutches in my Challenger when I ruined them. We had our disagreements at times but we both really liked cars. I drove my 2015 Challenger Shaker to Iowa from Washington state to show him. Even though he wasn't able to get...

I have also been a machinist in my career. I agree that MoparLeo does a great job of rebuilding door hinges. My question is why not machine some steel bushings (instead of bronze bushings) to press into the hinge after it has been reamed out to a size that fits the OD of the new bushing. This...

My 2015 Shaker Challenger with 5.7 went in to the dealer as the rear camera was acting up. I told them I'm sure the plug in the trunk lid is loose. Simple fix, right. Nope. That evening , the dealer called and said they had good news and bad news. Good news- camera plug was loose. Bad news - the...

The 73-74 B-bodies are truly under appreciated. I had people say not to waste money on my 74 Charger Rallye 360. Just drive it the way it was with peeling paint, ratty interior and engine compartment. My grandson and I put alot of time in it. In the end, I was in it about $9k. I gave it to him...

Two weeks ago, we had to take my wife's 2021 Jeep Compass Trailhawk in because there was a terrible growling noise coming from the engine and we were getting ready to cross the Arizona desert to 4 corners. We are from Washington state. Fortunately, we were in Phoenix at the time. I knew it was...

Here's the torsion bar removal tool I made for a few dollars to remove them from my Challenger. A few hits with a hammer on the red angle bar towards the rear and they came right out. I shot some penetrating oil on the front hex socket to aid in removal. Note the tool I made can be rotated...

If I remember correctly, the difficult clip to get in is the one under each headlight bucket. Terry W.

Let's see if I can help some with some photos. Driver Side shield in first photo. Passenger side in second photo. Let me know if you need more. It's dark out there and wet. I hope these help. Plastic T clips go into front valance pan at bottom of photos. You should be able to match up the holes...

Nope, not me. I hope the switch helps someone else with the grid defrost option. Terry W.
