67 Coronet/Charger buckets?

Don't know how much, but fresh motors use more fuel as they break in.

balance the bottom end, factory grind camshaft, and you'll get all the tickets you want

Some people are destined to have their own business, everyone else can be kept with respect, job security, and fair pay. I started as an apprentice in an old creek bed with a pick in my hands for less than $5 per hour, but I knew good pay was only four years away. The fifth year, I was making...

I would assume they are experienced at creating patterns from dried and split seat covers and it takes a lot of time. How do they make the embossed rectangle feature? They had to build an iron or something. What are ratty seat covers worth? Until they know how well their creation fits, I'll...

the vertical ribbing looks pretty good. Are the OEM ribs that nicely padded? I just bought some 10 year old NOS Legendary front bucket covers for my 66 Charger. When I opened the box, it took me back to when I first got it with 60,000 miles and excellent seat covers. Very accurate in my...

Time capsule of 1963, a treasure trove of information. I have a 8,000 mile rig that is 100% original. People say: They always came this way, or they never came that way. I have the line setting ticket that proves mine came that way.

My doctor says I should walk 10,000 steps a day what is that in metric?

He said: 1969 "Plymouth" Super Bee, so I quoted the trick question from My Cousin Vinny

Because a 1955 chevy didn't come with a 327 four barrel. The 327 wasn't available until 1962 and only in the Impala. A 327 four barrel wasn't available in a Bel Air until 1964, but the correct timing for a 1964 327 is 4 degrees before top dead centa.

you could take it loose at the transmission and spin the cable counter clock-wise with your fingers. After confirming that is the correct direction, spin it with a drill. If it works, you've eliminated 2 out 3 issues. If you have another cable, hook it to the trans, jack it up and run it to...

Sometimes the seller is afraid they are selling too cheap. If the owner didn't get mad at the idea of selling, give them print outs of a number of very similar cars and the prices they recently sold for. Then informed negotiations can take place. Once comfortable they know what they have and...

I would stop by, just to talk, and if the conversation eventually went the way of starting it, I would have everything I needed in my rig. If it turned out he liked the idea of starting it, I would be prepared with a weedeater, tools, a good battery, plugs, cap, wires, and my stand alone fuel...

Drive a different Mopar and park it prominently every visit to illustrate the depth of your illness. Even if you have to borrow one or two. I've dug in countless sheds, basements, and barns at auction sales. I'll post this photo to qualify my opinion here. In a dry building... okay. Any...

When I was 14, I would cut through a neighbors yard (the things you do as a kid) I cut through the neighbors yard and walked right past their little English car. I would look inside, and the floors were filled with leaves, and such. One day I knocked on the door. Do you want to sell that...

Were there any newspapers like this?

A friend of mine said he wanted to build a kit, a sports car kit. I have an English car that's halfway through the process of refreshing. Far from a restoration, it's for thrashing. I told him if he helps me finish the car, he can drive it and I'll give it to him in my will. It's fun...

At this moment in time a 383 car is not unique. Fifty years from now, I'm guessing an original 383 4 speed dodge built in 1963, will buy two tributes or clones. In 1963, it might not have beat a MW, but everybody else was meat on the table. If you want to preserve it and have fun, keep the...
