An old friend passed this to me. He’s closing up his shop.

Building a model for a friend. It’s a close representation of his car. I’ve got a few details to finish

Hello all. Thoughts on this plug. The color doesn’t look bad, but all the plugs are wet like this after sitting for a couple days. The car smells rich at idle, but if I take anymore fuel out of it it wants to stall. Car is a mild 446. 20 degrees initial and 34 all in. 906 heads. Fully worked...

Hello all. I recently bought a nice M1 Garand, and I’ve decided to take up the handloading / reloading hobby. My timing is piss poor with the availability of reloading supplies (primers and powder). anyhow, I set up this Lee press I bought and I decided to modify the handle a bit. time will...

Thought some here might dig these old decals I found in my stash. the dreaded “green bearings” :elmer: I’m from Cleveland, so these are particularly cool for me. :thumbsup:

I’ve wanted an M1 Garand for a long time now. I’m not a gun collector, but I appreciate a nice gun. I’ve got a 1911 and a .22 pistol. my Grandfather was a WW2 vet and had a Springfield Armory M1 Garand. a friend of mine is a military rifle collector. I put him on the lookout for a decent...

Today, I finished the body restoration on the 71 Dart I’ve been doing for a friend. I know this is a B body site, but it’s what I’ve been working on and it’s a cool Mopar. :bananadance: I’ve had the car since June of 2017. I told my friend, if he was patient, and didn’t mind a long project, I...

I don’t spend as much time as I’d like to practicing, but this one came out nicely.

Just saw on a couple other forums that Bill passed. He was always a helpful and courteous member and even sent me some parts for my Carter carb for free. godspeed to Bill, and may his family find peace. :(:(

I’ve been painting this 71 Dart for a local Mopar guy for about 3 years. I had to do both lower quarters and trunk extensions and a couple patches. this is after 1200, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000 and a 2 step polish:

Hello all. I picked these up a couple days ago. I’ve decided to let them go, as my car is mostly a street car. they are in real nice shape and come with the center caps. No lug nuts. they can be picked up in Ohio (near Norwalk 44090) or I can ship them on the buyers dime. the tires are...

Just picked these up Today:

Hello all. I’ve been doing the paint and body on a friend’s Dart. Over the last couple days, I’ve tackled the hood treatment. I believe it’s proper for a 71 Demon, but my friend wanted it on this 71 Dart. I like it. I used summit “hot rod satin” acrylic urethane. It layed out nicely.

Hello all. I’ve had a sort of fascination with these old machinists boxes for some time. I have a nice 11 drawer that I bought a few years ago. Yesterday, I snagged 3 seven drawer boxes. 2 oak and one walnut (the walnut if fairly hard to come by). The oak and the walnut were never used. The...

Hello all. I took on a paint and body job on a 71 Dart for a friend. This past week was spent blocking the final 2K primer and making it ready for the color and clear. Another buddy was gracious enough to lend us his paint booth. 12 hours today, but here’s the car in clear. It’s getting a hood...

Hello all. I have 3 Summit 10% off codes. Good till 10-17-20 PM me if ya want one

Hello all. Anyone going to the Moparty? we are heading down Thursday morning from the Cleveland area.

Hello all. During routine cleaning and maintenance, I found several cracks in the sidewalls of my front tires. Date coded 2015. Less than 1500 miles, stored inside and on a lift 50% of the time (tires hanging, 2 post). this is not to bash the manufacturer, although I think 5 years is a bit on...

Just finished up this old Kart. It has 2 West Bend power bee 700 engines on it. (Approximately 7HP per side) it moves!

hello all. I’m putting a Dana together for my coronet. It’s a virgin setup as far as shims go. As in, its not just a gear swap with existing parts. I started with .045” on the pinion depth. This is the pattern I achieved with a .010 backlash. I thought it was too close to the ring so I pulled...
