    Fix for buttons on seat covers?

    So I did the seats in my 69 charger probably 20 years ago now with legendary skins. However right from the start the buttons would pop off easily as you slid in. I cannot for the life of me get them back on. Is there a trick or tool for it?

    Road course/auto cross tires on 15" rim

    What are you guys running for a streetable tire that will have decent performance on the track? I don't want big wheels. Keeping to the muscle or stock car look. So must be 15". I was looking at Hoosier TDR tires and talked to a rep there but not sure I want to go that way. He said they are...

    If i pull the guts out of the proportioning valve, what happens?

    Having a heck of a time getting fluid to my rear brakes after some minor work. I'm focused on the proportioning valve being the issue. Pedal gets hard but little fluid comes out. Think it's the little plunger in the valve and I don't have the tool. Though the brake switch appears to serve the...

    Driving in the rain

    I've seen a various posts from people saying my car has never seen rain. It hit me on the way to the tire shop today in my 69 driving through the rain and I thought, why is that a concern. Yo wash your car. Spray more water on it than the most torrential rains. So what harm is rain gonna cause...

    2 post lift recommendations?

    I'd like to put an asymmetric lift in my garage. Any recommendations on cost effective reputable brands? I don't want the cheapest chineese junk (or any China junk) but don't need high end either. What brands should I look for?

    Car shipping

    Anyone ship a car before? Looking at buying something, but will not be there in person to hand over cash without a plane ride. How do you pay the person? Make sure it gets on the trailer?

    Is my crank .010 under?

    Swapping oil pans on my 383 and checking things over. Saw this on the front of the crank throw. Is this a .010 under stamp. It's a warranty 383 block and as far as I know has never been into. Factory defect possibly?

    Blast from the (not so distant) past! Winged Warriors in South Dakota

    Found some old pics on my computer. I think I've got a bunch of actual photos around somewhere too. I don't remember exactly what year this was. I think about 2003? The Winged Warriors did a meet in Rapid City SD and I was fortunate enough to attend. Had a great time, met some awesome and...

    Talk me out of a hellcat.

    I'm really toying with the idea of getting a 2017+ hellcat challenger with a manual transmission. For those that have or had one or other similar cars (zl1, gt500, etc) tell me about the good and the bad.

    Vapor lock really pi$$@!$ me off

    Took my 71 charger for a drive yesterday. Haven't driven it much the last couple years and want to get back to cruising with it. Had my 2 year old daughter with me too because she loves going for rides. I drove about 15 miles, put a little gas in it and was driving again and she starts vapor...

    A/C evaporator access

    I need to repair the evaporator in my 69. Think I popped a solder joint while changing the expansion valve as I had to take the big line off and that's what's leaking now. Do I need to remove the whole dash to access the heater/ac box? I changed the heater core years ago without removing the...

    71 charger hood fit

    Any ideas what's up with my hood? Is it bent in the middle? It latches fine and raises and lowers alright. The front and rear also seem to match the fenders but it's 1/2" higher than the fenders in the middle.

    Wanna see some tire flex action?

    I put together this video of my autocross runs from last weekend. I didn't do it for entertainment so much as i did to see how i was driving and how tires were reacting. I think some 200tw tires are in my future. I think i found the limit of the ole cooper's. Coincidentally, does anyone know a...

    Angry lifters after hard thrashing

    Looking for a little guidance here and see if I'm missing something. Ran the autocross today in my 69 charger with a basically stock 383. After a couple hard runs as I'm pulling back into the pit I hear distinct lifter rattle. I can get it to go away by essentially letting the engine cool off...

    Subframe Connectors and unibodies

    So last night I was watching Uncle Tony's Garage on YouTube and he was covering some home made torque boxes the kiwi had done on a Barracuda. They were talking about why torque boxes and not subframe connectors and said the unibodies need to be able to flex a little due to spot weld...

    Fix old ac or upgrade?

    Was working on getting the AC in my 69 charger going, replacing the expansion valve and receiver. Well I think I messed something up in the evaporator as it leaked out with an audible hiss from the large line connection. So my question is, should this be my indication to bite the bullet and go...

    Stock Ground clearance

    Would some folks with reasonably stock suspension and 14" tires take a measurement of ground clearance at the rockers of a 2nd gen charger and post it? I'm wondering if my car is sitting quite low already due to worn springs. It's level, but sliding a normal floor jack under it is difficult and...

    Sway bar install

    Can you folks tell me where these go on a front sway bar install on a 69 charger? I cannot figure it out from the directions.

    First autocross this weekend

    Taking my 69 charger to my first ever autocross this weekend. It's more or less stock but do have front and rear sway bars. Hoping for a fun experience. Not concerned about being the fastest guy out there. Just really wanting to feel out these sway bars in a controlled environment.
