    Where to find convex glass for passenger mirror

    I purchased a pair of OER sport mirrors for my 71 Charger. They look great but the passenger side mirror is kinda useless. The glass is not the convex type (ones that usually say objects in mirror are closer than they appear) It's regular mirror glass so it's pretty much impossible to see much...

    Ford 9" as a replacement for 8 3/4

    Hey all, I'm looking to upgrade my 8 3/4 for something stronger. I'm afraid I'm going to destroy my 8 3/4 while dumping the clutch on the dragstrip. I know Strange has a great S60 setup but I like the option of having the removable gear sets. Speedway Motors has a Fabricated Ford 9" setup...

    My reverse shift rod has left the conversation...

    I took The Beast out for a drive on this sunny spring day. Shifting out of first and into second under moderate acceleration I feel a pop in the shifter followed by the sound of something dragging on the road. I immediately slow down and pull to the shoulder and the car hops a bit and I come to...

    Well, poop.....

    So, I'm driving through town to a buddies house in my 2015 RAM when I see police lights behind me. I assume they're going to another scene as I haven't been pulled over in 30 years and I can't think of a thing I was doing wrong. I pull onto a side street to get out of the way and dang it it all...

    makes me want to cry

    I found this on my local Facebook market place. I'm hoping he didn't cut it in half just to get the engine out, but I have a pretty good hunch he did. Obviously has no idea how much the fenders and doors are worth. (and I need a good passenger door). Dodge Mopar 360 motor
