    What was the first car you remember falling in love with?

    My Sr in high school car. A $200 GTO. 389 4-Speed. I put in a clutch. A rear-end. Upgraded intake and carb. And that car awoke. I terrorized the rich kids late 70s Trans Ams and Cameros. I beat that car into the ground. I've never owned another. But I do catch myself entertaining the idea. My...

    It looks like Chris Birdsong has been bitten by the third generation Charger bug!

    I too am warming to Gen IIIs. Especially the Charger. I've never owned one. Only Gen II Plymouths. I'm not going out of the way to hunt, but if I ran across? I wouldn't have any buyer's remorse. (Come to think of it. I've never had "Buyer's Remorse." Selling? Every single time!)

    Not the official weather thread.....

    Going down towards -10° tonight here in MN. It's alittle early in the winter season, so Temps will rebound in the next few days. Just a little taste of what's coming next month.

    Searching for past history of my car , If at all possible

    It's going to be tough being a '66. But you gotta try. I gave up on my '69 GTX. It's so out of numbers matching whack that I can't even confirm it's always been a GTX. I bought 8 years ago. From Chevy guys up by the Canadian border. Knowing full well its non numbers matching. They had it for 20...

    Any Pontiac Fans here???

    Mopars 1st Pontiacs 2nd It's almost automatic in my search and monitoring efforts. Probably because my Sr in high school car was a '66 GTO. My college cars were 1st a '68 Sport Satellite. Then '69 GTX. (The Mopars were a better build quality in my opinion than the Pontiacs.) And that's always...

    resale red

    Red is tricky. A shade off it comes out too loud. Green is another tricky color. A shade off it looks like sadness. Blue or black is a safer bet. JMO

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    There doesn't look to be anything easy. Somebody designing by magazine pictures?

    Does a person with a perfect credit rating exist??

    It's not just payment history and credit liability. It's also based on future credit customers. The credit bureau's after all are payed by creditors.

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    We lost our mother in law last night. She was the eldest, but also the last of the "Silent Generation." She was just short of 95. So now it's up to us late Boomers and GenX. This life is going WAY too fast.

    WHAT IS YOUR SKILL SET WORTH?

    Currently? $55/hr base if employed who pays 1/2 SSA, bulk of health insurance, and overhead. $55/hr x 2 if as subcontractor. $55/hr x3 as general contract. Of course this is VERY fluid depending on circumstances. (And current NEED) But it's at least my measuring stick.

    Is your son a better mechanic than you?

    My son was decent with a wrench. His first job was oil mechanic at our local gas station at 16. But he never had the interests in car culture. He's working sales in the construction HVAC industry. It's a different era. With different interests. But the kids are very well aware of the value and...

    8 year old new tires.

    I have a set of Cooper Cobra tires that are close to 20 years. They sat 12 years in the Chevy guys garage that I bought with the car now nearly 8 years ago. The difference? He at least started and moved the car 2-3 times a year. And I believe him by the the decent performance. But time stops for...

    Winter plans for the Roadrunner

    There some logic there. But how come it feels "Suspicious?" lol. The older I get, the more "Suspicious" I feel.

    Any Pontiac Fans here???

    I believe it started with DeLorean. He and upper GM brass had more than one feud back in the day. Where I believe he had enough of the corporate politics. And found plenty of trouble on his own? The rest is history.

    Any Pontiac Fans here???

    The 9.99 target goal is certainly nothing new. It's actually a narrow window being going under 9.90 is not allowed by most home garage builds due to missing additional required safety measures. My last attempt with a mid 10 sec 451 Duster build with new B1 heads. Now running over 12:1...

    Any Pontiac Fans here???

    My Sr high school car was a 1966 GTO. I bought for $200. It had a decent side dent in pass rear quarter panel. At a time those were tougher to repair. Especially by a poorer city kid. The clutch was crappy so replaced the diaphragm with a Borg & Beck 3 finger style (I believe a Mcleod) I then...

    The '68 Charger in Christine.

    That's true. And they knew it filming the assembly line scene. But Hollywood is going to get the shot they need.

    How many B-Bodies could we build from all our parts sitting in our garages?

    Some one would have to start with a frame/tag/title. 64-71 midsized Dodge/Plymouth.
