You know how there is always some regrets in life somewhere? Among mine was installing greens on the ‘63. I went maybe 1200-miles before the first set went to crap. I installed another set, a better design I gathered than earlier ones. I have around 4k on those, so far so good. I went through...

Not too different than golf ball sized hail. One time I picked up my brand-new company ride from the dealer and had to drive to a satellite office 70-miles away. I was about 10-miles from the office still on the interstate when running into a thunderstorm. Then came the blinding rain and...

I still don’t own a vehicle with the fob, though when renting one, I didn’t like them. Driving new vehicles makes me want to keep my old ones. The owner’s manuals look like a thick novel. My 42-year-old daughter bought a newer car a few months ago having the fob and says she still misses having...

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing photos of your mopars.

My mother’s hand me down around the whole family ’72 Cutlass Supreme was the first car I restored with my father. It was great to work on this with my now long departed talented dad. Learned a ton. It was severely rusted, but for some reason wanted to hang onto it as it was about to be dumped. I...

Given the area was the scene of another flash flood causing multiple deaths around 40-years ago, Bush one had directed that the camps have a weather radio as an added layer of alert. Haven’t heard anything about it so far. I had one and it did give off a loud alarm often and for any weather...

Would be nice, except I know of a few that don’t have any adjacent roadway barriers and haven’t for decades.

The nut at the top you mention…adjusts the tension on the worm gear, if it has been torqued too tight, it can cause the steering to not self-correct or tighter yet, leave the wheel where it is unless steering it. Given what you describe, doesn’t seem to be your hassle, but since you asked about...

Agree, there’s something special driving an old car in good condition or restored. What a world of difference on the ’63 after refurbishing the suspension, adding a sway bar (an option mine didn’t have) FFII steering, HD leafs, wide radials and realignment for the radials. Tight steering, no...

There was an age-old track that used to be in a rural area, then came the subdivisions and whining about noise on weekends. Lol, if one is bothered by track noise two-nights a week in summer, done by 9:30PM, or golf balls living next to a golf course, or the smell of a farm...well buy a house...

A wide-open conversation. I forgot more courses have homes aligning the fairways having watched errant balls smacking the walls, windows, playing pin-ball on patios, etc. Years ago on a FL vacation, played a course that had houses so close to the fairways it made water and bunkers less...

Spent years doing accident investigations and used as an expert witness. There’s what’s called reasonable care (subject to lots of legal debate) and another addressing the degree of liability. Ok, two of the mishaps I mentioned were never dealt with as I saw no changes other than more...

One thing is if a course KNOWS they have a hazard like this, they should address it and I’d guess more likely it’s not always a backbreaking expense. Beyond the damage, it could cause a serious, even fatal, accident. Have witnessed golf ball car damage more than once, two times when a ball ended...

This isn’t the first trashing go-around. I had replied that Nacho was very helpful guiding me through some unusual wiring connections given that what I was installing wasn’t a stock feature. We had several back & forths due to my questions, Nacho was quite patient even providing some of his own...

They raise 'em BIG up there!

Anyone running 17" wheels on their 62-65 b-body? If so, what tire sizing? I have 15" steel Magnums with P235/60's on it. Seems there might be ample clearance for the larger wheel, perhaps a slightly lower profile tire considering the 17" and wider tire in the rear. Also thinking of the...

Hedge trimming. Bi-annual chore, you know some are supposed to be trimmed in spring and others in fall as my wife lectures, and we have some big bushes, some over 8-feet tall. Each year I’ve brought out the old electric trimmer, ladder, and extension cord. Trimmer often isn’t quite long enough...

On my ’63, think the police/fleet package did bypass the BH back then. Yeah, not the best setup, but mfg’s didn’t make them to last half a century or half that. I may have added extra toast to the BH when installing an electronic ignition 25-years ago, not sure but the install required a higher...

I bypassed mine some years ago with a loop on the bulkhead where the amm gauge wires otherwise would connect. I'm set to reroute bypassing the BH with that wiring in, but looking for another reason to remove the cluster. This is before putting in a new BH as the old one was heat damaged...

I use odorless mineral spirits, still stinks enough as it is
