    '62 Dart - OEM Steering Wheel?

    A fellow member had posted this photo of a '62 Dart wagon pertaining to another topic. When I saw the rectangular steering wheel was surprised as I wasn't aware of this wheel being a stock item on the '62 Darts? Ma Mopar had these unique wheels for a few years; but didn't think they were on...

    The ‘Preparations’ Nobody Relishes

    Sorry for the doom & gloom post. I’m dealing with the final resting place for my folks and their beloved pets cremated remains after some 8-years, since my mother passed on. Her wish was to be laid to rest with her pets. This complicates things a bit. They’ve been residing upstairs. Anyway, my...

    Wheel/Tire Sizing – 63 Plymouth

    Few years ago had hunted down wheels and tires to upgrade my car. Most concerned with clearance for the fronts, come to find that after getting the car on a rack going to 15” Magnum’s and P235/60 fit with no issues. Likely more clearance. With the larger wheel and lower profile tire, the overall...

    Milwaukee Power Sweeper

    Thought I posted something about this a while back; but couldn’t find it. Bought a Milwaukee weed trimmer two years ago to finally drop the old ones. Did this for my wife when she doesn’t like my routine (not trimming often enough sometimes). She would always have trouble starting them with her...

    Radial Arm Saw User’s Advice?

    I posted a thread on this back in 2019 and given my issue now, thought I’d post a new one. I have a Craftsman 10” saw that’s maybe 45 years old, it’s the model that was issued a recall to obtain upgraded guarding and later, a small payment if you disabled the machine, no longer providing...

    Any Walabot (stud-finder) users?

    Looking to buy this Walabot stud finder, well my kids are wanting to get me a Christmas gift. Looks quite worthy as far as the reviews I’ve read. I’ve got two Zircon finders and have found those to be miss & hits to my irritation over the years. Last one I bought was an upscale model that didn’t...

    When You Donate Something You Want Back..

    Ever donated something you soon discovered you could use? I frequently donate stuff and with all the chit I have laying around, I’m amazed I have tons more stuff to get rid of. Couple weeks ago, I took a bunch of stuff to the ‘Restore’, as they’re called in my area, Habitat for Humanity stores...

    Who has had Cataract Surgery?

    I’m scheduled for this procedure in a couple weeks and have some of the scoop; but I’d like to ask those who have gone through it about their experiences and advice. Right eye is worse than the left, but they’ve scheduled both a couple weeks apart. Hear that there are a couple of lens options...

    Christmas Songs - Already?

    Have a favorite radio station I have tuned in on my garage stereo. Plays all rock/pop tunes from the mid-50’s to end of the 60’s. Local station that started up about three years ago. Few commercials and they play old commercials in the mix. Except starting TODAY, they play non-stop Christmas...

    '05 Dakota making ugly noise

    Thought I would post about strange noises from my ’05 Dakota in case anyone has encountered this. Dakota forum hasn’t been fruitful as has my shop looking it over. After returning from a 400 mile round trip, the noise has gotten much worse, ugly sounding. Started with a subtle ticking/rattling...

    Christine Movie - Remake

    This isn’t new – news; but is to me catching an article on it. A remake of the 1983 flick has been in the works for a while now announced in June 2021. Likely delays with covid and the actor’s strike. I liked the movie, thought it was done well considering a limited budget. The camera work...

    Torqueflite De-coding Help?

    I have a 727 that’s been in the garage for 27 years and had bought it with a bunch of other parts, including a ‘65 Coronet rear I installed soon after I got it in my ‘63. The guy I bought it from seemed like a walking early mopar encyclopedia saying this trans was a ’65 out of the same car...

    1965 Torque-flite transmission - Decisions?

    Tossing out a question as I’m cleaning and rearranging my garage. I bought a ’65 mopar 727 transmission in ’96 with some other parts for my ’63, I installed from a ’65 Coronet (entire rear). Was informed this trans would be nice to have as a spare or upgrade of the ’63 torqueflite. This was the...

    Garage Heater – Recommendations?

    My old Lennox LF24 furnace has been reliable for over 15 years; but the past couple has been throwing one part after the other in it to keep limping along. Repair parts now far as I know could be necessary, would cost over 600 bucks. Seems dumb to toss that kind of cash w/o getting a new one...

    Wow Jets Fans! Aaron is gone for the season..

    Sad news for NYJ fans - Aaron Rodgers is gone for the season with an Achilles tear. All the hoopla gone and of course we heard a lot about it here in Packer land. Was looking forward to seeing him play for the Jets to see how they would do despite being a Packer fan. Condolences.

    Are Flushable Wet Wipes Really Flushable?

    I’ve had debates with my wife about this when she introduced these to our house some years ago. We have a septic system. Handling these wipes, MO, they don’t seem so flush-friendly and I said let’s not flush these. Response – they say flushable on the package; why would they say flushable if...
