    Who has used air shocks at one time or another?

    My girlfriends Roadrunner had them on it when we bought it. It rides real smooth and nice without any air, with air it's a bit too much of a firm and harsh ride for my liking, but it's not unbearable. Around the shock mounts was torn when we got it, but who knows how bad the previous owner...

    Got hit in a parking lot by my boss!

    well, the OE fender that's on the car has a patch that was done before we bought it on the top in the rear that was very poorly done. So, rather than fussing with that and sandblasting the fender and whatnot I figured it'd be easier to replace it while I had the opportunity. Everything I've...

    Got hit in a parking lot by my boss!

    Heard back from his insurance company today. They wrote for $2,014. for repairs. It's a little less than what I estimated and hoped for but close enough that I'm happy with it. I think we might replace both front fenders with the money I'm gonna save by doing the repair myself. That way it'll...

    Got hit in a parking lot by my boss!

    He is, he said he would take care of it. Wether he's paying out of his pocket or we're filing an insurance claim, I don't know, I'm leaving that totally up to him. But we're definitely getting a bumper and a fender and hopefully I can get him to pay for my labor to fix it without too much...

    Got hit in a parking lot by my boss!

    Well, I stayed late at work last friday night so I could use the lift to put a fuel sending unit in my girlfriends stupid '98 Buick Lesabre with a half a million miles... At about 8:30 my boss heads out the door, then at about 8:31 I hear a loud crash.. My first thought was that better have not...

    Boss hit Roadrunner!

    My boss backed into my girlfriends Roadrunner late at night last week. So, now we're looking for a right front fender, front bumper and maybe a right headlight bezel. Obviously, the nicer the better, but it doesn't have to be perfect. Thanks in advance!

    50's car game

    I got 92%. Not bad for a dumb punk kid... I'm impressed that I did as well as I did, but then again, I work around cars from this era every day.

    Opinions needed

    This reminded me to mention, at the place I work now, the owner really cut down on a lot of overhead by being able to buy alll the equipment outright along with the building and everything, he's a very succesful and wealthy business man. Without him being able to do that it may not have been...

    Opinions needed

    It's always been my dream to setup my own shop and run a business doing basically what you described with muscle cars and hot rods. My dad's done restoration work for 25+ years, most of it on his own. He was always busy but had to keep a pretty constant flow of collision work to put enough food...

    ugliest old mopar!?

    yeah, maybe ugly isn't the right word for some of those cars, awkwardly styled maybe? haha I dunno.. I do like those cars, they just strike me as funny looking. That being said, I'd be happy to own and drive any one of them.

    ugliest old mopar!?

    Well, I normally only think of stuff like this when I get real bored, and I've been sick on the couch for two days now, so... I was just thinking of how some early 60s mopar stuff was pretty dang ugly.. But at the same time you just have to love them and they're ugliness for what it is. It's...
