    Federalist Papers. Anyone read, or heard of?

    The Federalist papers, in my layman's interpretation is a basic way the constitution should be administered, and clauses for conduct and fairness. http://thomas.loc.gov/home/histdox/fedpapers.html These were written by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and many other loyal...

    Sons of Anachy T-shirt gift.

    My wife bought me an SOA t-shirt for Fathers-day. She has been hounding me for months why I dont wear it. I've been riding for 25+ years. I have friends from local Harley riding clubs, and 1% clubs. I have never worn a patch. I associate freely between all my riding brothers. Today...

    So, what do us "Gray-Beards" listen to?

    Just wondering what the folks of my age are listening to these days. I'm a biker, and a Mopar man, and still living life hard. In the day, Judas Priest and Metallica were the world to me. Still are, but some of the new stuff is good also. Being late 40's, I like Avenged Sevenfold, and Five...

    Vladmir Putin hands Obama his ***!

    Well Putin and the Iranians scored a diplomatic coup today by announcing that they had come up with an alternative to attacking (with un-specified goals) Syria for the chemical weapons attacks. Mr. Obama's vague assertion that WE should PUNISH President Assad for his use of them, (not proven to...

    Structural body adhesive. Any experience, or advice?

    Hi guys. I'm doing this on my Ram, but the knowledge crosses to our B-bodys. I have a 97 Ram that I am replacing the left-rear wheel-arch. The plan is to cut the body, and use a home-made flanging tool to set the recess on the body. The patch is a Sherman part, about 1.2mil. The flange tool...

    Ground my gears today. Not tranny related!

    So I'm sitting here stabbing at my computer 'cause I'm so pissed-off I cant see straight! I live with my wife and my step-daughter, and her two toddlers, from two "less than worthy fathers". And since its Friday, its time for visitation. So the step-daughters "baby-Daddy" pulls up in his new...

    Dodge Ram, Best patch panels?

    I just bought a sweet, low-mile, 97 Ram 4x4, 5.9, Crew-cab. Black, with a tan leather interior. Rare combo. I still think the 94-01's were the best body style anyway. Great solid truck! But it has the usual Dodge rust in the doors. Question is, there are dozens of places selling...

    CNG vehicles

    Ok, the volt thread got long, very fast. So I'm going to change this up. Ten years ago, I was in Australia, and ALL the taxis were CNG powered. So were many other vehicles. So, with this CNG bounty that we have from the new "fracking" process, we are still not onto CNG vehicles? I hear...

    Need some luck Too!

    Reds post inspired me. I dont ask for help, but a kind word while saying your prayers tonight would be appreciated. We got behind in the mortgage during the melt-down of the auto industry. We kept paying, but got behind. I pay child support, and they took support out of my unemployment...

    Sears 33 gallon compressor

    So while I was typing my answer to another post, my compressor came on. Well, I think it threw a rod! That was the sound it made! Even the wife came in to see WTF! Anyone have any experience with this turd? Shame that the Craftsman brand is not what it was.

    Do I need to hone?

    A little off the normal mopar builds. I am doing a 2.7, v6 mopar engine. It spun a few rod bearings. But the cylinder bores are straight, with no scratches. As a matter of fact, the original cross-hatch of the cylinder hone is still visible. I dont have the measurement tools for this. So...

    UAW/Chrysler Sell-Out!!!

    Well, its official. The UAW International got the vote that THEY wanted! All the senior production employees [tier 1], and all the new hires [tier 2] got to vote. It still only passed at my plant with 58% of the production brothers. This contract gave nothing to T1 folks, and $5 to T2 folks...

    Ready for quarters!

    Just scored a parts car that will give me what I need to finish the back-half of my 74 RR! The story here is that mine is rust-free, but was involved in a soft roll-over. So the lower 1/4's are great, but the upper 1/4's [with all the compound curves] are toast. I need to replace everything...

    Woodward Dream Cruise

    Sorry if this has been covered already, but I didnt see it. Who will be there, and where can we find each other? I'm about 50 miles north of there, and have garage and tools for any of our friends that have issues. I'm in Imlay City. Hopefully this will spur other, closer folks, to let our...

    Drip rails

    I'm looking for some new drip rails for my 74 RR. The old ones were damaged in the rollover. The ones on the replacement roof were nearly impossible to get off cleanly. 71-74 Satty/RR should fit. Wondering if there might be some NOS out there. Not a high demand part, not like a 1/4! Can...

    Speaking of toys...STP's

    Anyone remember these? Hope I got the name right. They had the 3 ft zip strip, 4 wheels, with the weighted center wheel. They had drag cars, but the coolest were the demo-derby cars with the hood,trunk, and doors that would pop-off when they crashed! Anyone else having a flashback right now?!
