    VFN Fiberglass Fenders - fit & finish?

    There was a local guy here who had a '71 Challenger with a complete fiberglass nose, hood and all. No one knew it was a glass nose for some time until someone in his own circle leaked it. He even fooled my prying eyes because they looked totally stock steel. Must have removed a good chunk of...

    VFN Fiberglass Fenders - fit & finish?

    I think your closest fit and look will be with AAR Stinger fiberglass. They make amazing stuff and the fit is near perfect. They have both race weight and street pieces, but not sure how far their catalog goes as far as in providing panels for the '67's. Beautiful car by the way.

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    Weight is a funny thing. It either hampers your car's ability to accelerate with a mild to hot drivetrain or it helps it plant better with a really sizzling combo for more acceleration. The trick is not just to remove it all together, but to manage it by moving it around to different parts of...

    1973 Dodge Coronet rear bumper at 2024 Carlisle.

    Last year in 2024, during Chryslers at Carlisle, I spotted a rechromed rear bumper for a 1973 Dodge Coronet 4 door sedan. I lost track of the row and vendor and lost out as it was Sunday and everyone was starting to pack up, so I figured why not ask on here if that one vendor by chance loiters...

    Rattle can Hemi Orange Enamel question please

    Spray can bottoms are like ocean bottoms. Everything ends up there. Thereby, store spray cans upside down to keep all the paint pigment and settlement on top and not at the bottom where the pick up tube is exposed. Basically, the top of the can becomes the bottom when stored upside down and the...

    Rattle can Hemi Orange Enamel question please

    Besides the VHT Hemi Orange, the Mopar brand is great as well. Masking secret: Use aluminum foil wherever needed to mask hoses, wiring harnesses, distributors, alternators, headers, etc. Just don't try starting the engine of course.

    1973 Dodge Coronet power steering box removal: Plus and minuses?

    If I have to go under and take the box out, hopefully not, I'll drown the mounting bolts in liquid Wrench or WD40 first just to get ahead of Mr. Murphy.

    1973 Dodge Coronet power steering box removal: Plus and minuses?

    Okay. I guess turning it in clockwise should tighten it or counterclockwise, I'll see when I get to the car. Thank you 451 and whom ever else wants to chip in to tighten the conversation. My car is a STOCK small block. Untouched engine compartment with factory exhausts. Here's a flick with the...

    1973 Dodge Coronet power steering box removal: Plus and minuses?

    Thank you 451. I was afraid of that answer. Quickly, is tightening the play done with a lock-nut adjustment up top like the manual boxes on earlier cars? I'm not in front of the car at the moment that's why I ask.

    1973 Dodge Coronet power steering box removal: Plus and minuses?

    There is so much play in my box, but in honesty, I haven't tried to tighten the slack. Never done it before. Any ideas? In worst case scenario in removing the original power steering box and installing a new one, is there any pitfalls to expect other than the usual rusted stubborn bolts and...

    This Season Has Been Kinda a Bust

    Tracks closing all around us like a plaque, no time to work on 'em even though supposedly technology has made it simpler somehow, tight wallets with a shaky economy on the horizon and potential high costs for parts because of shipping or manufacturing logistics are keeping cars at home in the...

    1963 Max Wedge in the Junkyard!??

    Looks like correct four bolt valve covers. Any engine over the years could have been painted any color, so the turquoise is not an issue, just a sign to look even deeper. Looks like a steel front end and front bumper car by the surface rust. Definitely that scoop is outlaw style, not factory...
