    Surely not an A body on fbbo!!!

    I've seen where classy cars with totally rusted undercarriage were sat on 4X4 truck chassis. Gives you a full frame and fresh suspension with minimal work and money. Mike from NY had a '72 he put on a Ramcharger chassis. Met him at Carlisle probably 25 years ago.

    Offering South Central-to-North East Transport

    The current plan is to leave Wednesday, July 3 for NJ. I have a friend in MD that is willing to temporarily store 2 cars and some stuff. I'll be driving to North NJ, picking up stuff, going to MD twice, then returning back. Subsequent trips should be from OK to MD (DC area) and back, with no...

    Offering South Central-to-North East Transport

    I relocated from northern NJ to eastern OK. I stocked 2 storage units with “stuff”, and put 4 cars into private storage in NJ. Now that I’m settled in, I must retrieve my cars & stuff. This move is being done by me and my friend. I’m toting a tow dolly and my friend a 16X7 trailer with 4’...

    They Just Do Not Make Them Like They Used To...

    Since you mentioned Ford, I know from professional research that in 2008 Ford ranked 21st out of 23 OEM manufacturers selling vehicles in the US as far as Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) -- they sucked!! In 2010 they somehow managed to rise to #2. My friend (a mobile mechanic) has a 2018...

    Curious for Opinions Here - What Percentage of Project Cars Actually Get Completed?

    Had a '59 Imperial. The guy I bought it from pulled it from a barn it was sitting in since 1978. He had the engine and transmission rebuilt, radiator & heater core recored, and a few other things. Had shoulder surgery & couldn't take it any farther. I bought it. I installed said engine &...

    My 71 Road Runner 340/727 F7

    I love that brown interior. I'm a fan of the dark green. There was a '72 RR with a gold rear strobe stripe I fell in love with. The gold would accent the brown interior nicely.

    Ford Patents Potential ICE-Saving Technology

    Sounds like Ford resurrected Honda's CVCC concept from the '70s. The pre-chamber was fed a 13:1 AFR while the main chamber inhaled 18:1. The burning pre-charge infiltrated the main chamber like a blow torch. I love that design. They were able to meet EPA emissions for several years without a...

    Mopar Action gone again?

    My uncle passed not long ago. I wonder what happened to his massive stash, as it was mostly 70's stuff. Probably got tossed.

    71 Charger Superbee Tribute/Restomod Build

    The values you used are way out of whack! Please don't take that as an attack, some folks are awesome at HVAC while others are financial wizards. We have that special arena where we love to play. In electronics, there are a couple of "Ohm's Laws" that allow simple math to calculate various...
