    I reached in the window and started a VW I was working on. It was in gear. It drove itself across the driveway and through the shop door. I dove into the window and pulled up the brake but it already smashed through the door. I stopped it just before it rear-ended a customer's car in the...

    1968 Charger Gas Tank Leak

    You have to spin the ring to the right until the little bump on the lock ring sits under the raised area on the tab. It’s hard but if you lube it up and use a tool, it will go.

    1968 Charger Gas Tank Leak

    Yes, but it was more fun to make one. Mine can also take off oil filters.

    1968 Charger Gas Tank Leak

    Thanks WileE. I couldn’t get it to lock with a hammer and punch. So I made a tool. It’s locked now.

    1970 Coronet R/T Project (Dasfusca's Car)

    I installed the drain lines in the N96 base for the Ramcharger. I used 1/2 inch heater hose I cut them so they drain past the valve covers. Without them water would just collect in the valley tray.

    1968 Charger Gas Tank Leak

    Sorry if this is a hijack. But….Do the raised tabs on the ring serve as a stop like shown in the picture or do they go under the tank tabs so you can’t see them?

    1970 Coronet R/T Project (Dasfusca's Car)

    I had a problem with the air-condition manifold set I was using. I tightened the fittings too much and I bent the shrader valves when I opened the system. Lucky I checked them before I charged it with Freon. I got new valves at Napa and the ICON Charging set. Night and Day difference. ICONs...

    1970 Coronet R/T Project (Dasfusca's Car)

    I made a sleeve to protect the a/c line. It’s a piece of 18 gauge I bent, rounded the edges and wrapped in electrical tape. It was a quick solution. I might make a prettier one and plastic dip it

    This is not my car. Here is a picture of the octopus of A/C that lives in a 1970 R/T with a factory unit. Couldn’t get the N96 option if you opted for the Air Condition.

    1970 Coronet R/T Project (Dasfusca's Car)

    R/T has heat now. The factory kept those heater hoses neat and tidy in the engine bay. Ac is totally in and holding at -30 vacuum. Classic auto air takes up very little room compared to the oem units from 1970. I do have a problem. One of the lines sits under the edge of the air breather...

    Which one for the 70 Coronet Lynch Road Plant? I think number 2

    Blower did fit. It was tight. Fuse box has to be moved and the bracket and drain tube left off until it’s in.

    I'm almost at wits end with this car.

    24 years this past July 8th for me. I won the bid on EBAY...it's my wife's birthday. I still don't think she realizes that. In my defense....I remember the date because it's my wife's birthday not because of the car.

    BREATH! Take a break. And don't let your wife read these posts.

    I put a notch in the classic auto air control so I use the stock lights. I made a harness for the new lights with a donor car’s wires so they can be plugged in without altering the original harness.

    1970 Coronet R/T Project (Dasfusca's Car)

    I got this wheel for the R/T years ago. It’s a 1968-69 wheel that is all original and unrestored. This might be too nice to put on my r/t. It has no cracks and unpainted chrome. I’ve been saving this wheel for 20 years waiting to put it one the car. I am not sure I have it in me to drill...

    I have a horn again. So the R/T got her voice back.
