I have mentioned before that my son is a cadet at West Point. He is now a senior and will be graduating in May and commissioning into the Army. Last night, they had what is referred to as Branch Night - when they find out what branch they will begin their careers in the Army. My son has been...

A local Mopar friend just bought a 73 Challenger with a 340. The car came with headers but he wants to swap back to the factory exhaust manifolds. He is also looking for the factory style air cleaner (I believe it has a dual inlet) and some factory valve covers. Wondering if anyone on this forum...

I am not one to care about awards at car shows. I have plenty of dust collectors. I am all about the road trips and cruising. My collector car is for driving, not for showing. I was pleasantly surprised to get a 2nd place award in the Stock GTX class at the Carlisle Chrysler Show. So imagine...

Have to share a proud and humbling dad moment from Memorial Day. My son JT is a rising senior at West Point. Less than a year from now, he will be heading off into the Army. On Monday, he had the opportunity to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on behalf of the organization I...

Well I finally got around to putting my new Magnum wheels and Diamondback redline tires on my GTX. Decided on 15x7 wheels on all four corners. Went with 225/70R15 tires on the front and 255/60R15 on the rear. The tire sizes pretty well level out the ride of the car. Like the beefier look under...

I have been working on figuring out this fuel leak issue that I had a while back. Got some advice, replaced all the lines and reinstalled the fuel pump on the car. Should have paid closer attention because I don't think I dealt with the push rod correctly. I pushed it up in there, but I had a...

I'm pulling the trigger on buying new Diamondback tires for my Magnum wheels this week. Before I make the final selection, I have a tire fitment question for the experts and opinionated here. Will 235/70R15s fit under the front end of a stock 69 GTX without rubbing or clearance issues?

Getting ready to purchase some Diamondback tires to install on my new Magnum 500s. Wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether or not the DBIII's are better than the SS's? I have a set of the SS tires on my steel wheels now and have no real complaints. Just looking for some feedback on these...

Recently handed down my Durango GT to my son who will finally be able to take a car to college this spring. As a result, I have been looking for a new daily driver. This weekend, I went ahead and bought a 2023 Charger RT. Maybe not the most practical choice for a daily driver, but I wanted...

Wondering if there is a place that you can buy reproduction copies of the broadcast sheet, or any other documentation, for a classic car you own just based off of providing the VIN or fender tag? I wasn't able to get the previous owner of my car to find any of that paperwork, and I am not...

I am about to address my failed fuel pump issue. In removing the fuel pump, are there any tips or tricks I need to be aware of to remove the pump? I am considering removing the alternator to give me more room to get to the pump since I am doing this with the car on the ground. Would appreciate...

Went out to take the GTX for a ride yesterday, and once I got it started I noticed fuel leaking down. Upon inspection, it appears the mechanical fuel pump has failed. Fuel appears to be leaking from around the center of the pump (rubber gasket), but I am not absolutely certain of that. It does...

I have a couple of places on my Hemi valve covers where the wrinkle black paint has flaked off. I would like to just touch them up for now. Does anyone have a recommendation of where I can get the correct or similar paint to touch it up? I am not sure exactly what the paint is or how the texture...

I have decided to install the factory correct hub caps on my GTX. I’m wondering if there is a trick to installing them without beating the crap out of the painted wheel? I tried “popping” them on by hand and smacked on them a couple times with a mallet and decided to step back and ask for advice...

I have reached the point of maximum annoyance with the squeaking trunk and door hinges on my GTX. Wondering if anyone has any specific recommendations for lubricant for both? Are there different types for door hinges versus trunk hinges? I have seen white lithium grease recommended for door...

I am considering selling my 69 GTX. I didn't list it in the For Sale forum because I have not fully committed to the possibility yet. Unfortunately, home and life circumstances are starting to outweigh the luxury of having the car. I also don't have to let the car go, but it might be in my best...

I have been checking out a four door Satellite a few minutes from my house that a gentleman has just sitting in his back yard. It appears to be a 68 or 69 (just based on observation of body lines from the road). Anyone have any experience restoring or modding out a four door one of these cars...

Well the "X" and I made it home after a pretty outstanding Hot Rod Power Tour this week. The weather could not really have been more perfect for summer in the south. The only particularly tough day was the fourth day going into zMax Dragway in Charlotte. Lots of cars got punished by the heat and...

Wondering if anyone can recommend the correct type of paint for the tail panel on my 69 GTX? During the road trip last week, I noticed a couple of spots in the grey painted area of the tail panel that flaked off (marked areas on the pic). This is the grey textured area of the panel. I assume it...

I am considering installing these factory hubcaps on my steel wheels for my GTX. I have a complete set of four. Two of the caps are in excellent condition. But two of the caps (pic 2 and 3) have pitting or blemishes (or whatever that is) on them. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to...
