First off, your son wanted to help while he's living with you. Most kids today would be lazy and mooch! Secondly, for him (and his wife) to be that responsible and buy you a mower, bring it home and surpise you with it, says that you and your wife did an excellent job raising him (Great...

I switched every light in and out (even the am radio bulb) to LED's and am very happy with the outcome. It was earlier mentioned that for your turn signals, you need to install LED flashers, but that doesn't always work. I still had problems with mine not being in time. With a turn signal on, my...

I have a set of Harbor Freight stands that came with a jack I bought. They scare me! I like my NAPA jackstands... real heavy duty, but they are big... better suited for trucks but I use them on my '67 and work just fine.

I know this isn't what you're looking for, but I had an Edebrock 600 on my 383 and had starting issues and never really liked the way it ran even when it did start. I put on a used 750 holley with vacumn secondaries and it starts instantly now and runs much better. I also added a one inch...

That's exactly what I was thinking! You did the right thing by standing your ground and punishing him by taking away his games. He will actually respect you for this in the long run and make him a good man later on. I would be proud that he is willing to get out in the garage and actually...

The first rule in owning a classic muscle mopar: We do it because we enjoy it! This is our Golfing or boating or camping or traveling...whatever hobbie someone has. Do you think anyone gets their money back on those hobbies?! This is our passion. Therefore I say do whatever you want and don't...

I love seeing anything, just anything being brought back to life. There's so many old things that are built far better than today's plastic throw away trash that we have to purchase and it never lasts and it's not worth fixing because it's total crap. So yes, I personally love seeing something...

I wouldn't bet against a possible mis-stamping on the tag, although that would be rare. Whatever color you have shown in the photo looks great... I love that color and would someday like a 68 road runner in that. Feel free to post more pics!

This is how I did mine after I did my conversion... Works great and no mess and no helper (unless you just want some company).

Are you using a standard incandescent bulb or a replacement LED? I converted every single light (inside and out) on my 67 Coronet to LED's, but when I got to the dome light, I had exactly the same problem you described. With the LED replacement, the light stayed on all the time, even with the...

I didn't like it either.... all spoiled brats! But he was the only one on the show that I did like. I liked him in general as well.

I agree with this and would add... If you love what you're doing, keep doing it! Don't let age stop you unless your health absolutely keeps you from doing it. My boss just turned 70 and built a new 60 x 80 shop with lifts and everything in it you would ever need. Him and his son are deep into...

First, I'm very sorry about your son and I'll pray for you and your family. Second, your stuff is not junk... If it's important to you and brings you joy, then it's worth more than gold! Third, your relationships and love for your daughters is worth far more than your "stuff" that they're not...

I'm not a Swede but I have an '06 Volvo XC90 that I love... The best chain saw I've ever owned is a Jonsered (which I still have)... I have two Hagstrom guitars (an old classical which was actually made in Sweden and a newer electric "Select Super Swede" which was not made in Sweden but is still...

Hey, those old bag phones actually worked! Here is my take on why cell phones suck (yes I agree) these days: It's because they're not phones any more... they're little, minituare handheld computers! We all know the problems and aggravation we get from computers. Put that in a small package and...

Great looking '69 themechanic! Feel free to post more pictures of that... inside and out!!!

I didn't do my trunk, but replaced all of my door and window weatherstripping and the felt window liners (cat whiskers). I purchased everything from Classic Industries. I don't know who makes it, but everything lined up and fit like factory replacements. The rear window felt strips are the...

I have a couple fenders from the 60's myself.... a left and a right on my '67 Coronet! :rolleyes:

You didn't mention how you built your engine (unless I missed that). If you went with a noticably larger cam with a stall converter, you would definitiely would want to go with at least a 3:55 to gain back the low end loss in your engine. If it's all stock, then 3:23 or 3:55 should be fine. As...

Or... if you have a GM, leave the keys in it and hope for the best!
