I had a 1967 Dodge Polara ex-Indiana Highway Patrol car that had Budd disc brakes. Good disc brakes, but complicated. Not common either now. White Post in Virginia can resleeve your calipers if you have no joy of finding any used ones. AAJ or Wildwood might offer kits to convert your set up to a...

Nothing about your avatar I find offensive; in fact, I gave it a thumbs up. I like Clint Eastwood movies, especially the Dirty Harry ones.

Great. Just what we need, another Graveyard Cars shop owner who thinks he's funny. :p Congratulations on the recognition. What is your specialty?

Thanks for the photos. I didn't go to Iola this year as I was also going to the National De Soto Convention in Chatham-Kent, Ontario, and I couldn't afford to pay for both. One car owner brought over his 1959 De Soto Fireflite to the Canadian show that I remembered seeing at Iola in 2019. It's a...

There are a few pictures posted on the WPC Club Facebook group of the car show on Saturday just past, but it didn't look like a huge turn out. 100-150 cars tops of all years i would guess. Our NDC Convention which was held the Saturday before (29 Jul 23) in Chatham-Kent Ontario had about the...

Actually, the cop car that Richard Dreyfus chained the rear axle to a post so that it would rip out it's third member was a 1961 Ford, (fullsize) if I'm not mistaken. That would make it a newer car than the 1958 Chevy Impala that Opie was driving around.

Well, lets see. In 1973 I was 22 years old and was getting out of the Regular Army and transferring into the Reserve to complete my 6 year obligation. I was waiting to go into a vocational school to learn how to become a mechanic under the Vietnam era GI Bill. I was driving a nearly new dark...

The rusted box appears to be the bypass relay for your seat belt interlock system. This was a Federally Mandated requirement on all cars starting with the 1974 model year to encourage seat belt use. It was not a popular move with the public at the time. The outcry against it was so great that...

If you're worried about moisture getting in your brake system because you don't use the car much, I'd go with DOT 5 silicon based fluid. I've used it on my Army Dodge W200 power wagon for years with no issues. You would have to flush the lines and replace all of your rubber components (flex...

I had a 72 Plymouth Satellite Sebring with those bumper guards surrounding the taillights, but I don't believe they were standard because I've seen other 72s without them.

Welcome from Ohio. Mo Par or No Car!

Would look good on my 2010 Challenger and my 1974 Coronet

I had a 1972 Plymouth Satellite Sebring from near new - it was a dandy car and I wished I still had it. I shall be following your build with great interest.

My good old 1977 Dodge W-200 Power Wagon is a daily driver. It started life as a M882 Army truck (CUCV program) assigned to a Special Forces unit. After it was declared to be too beat to continue front line service with the snake eaters, it was transferred to the US Forest Service and spent a...

Interesting article. I heard about the Mount St. Helens eruption in 1980 for sure, but as I was living in Milwaukee, WI at the time, it had no impact on me that I can remember. It had no impact on the car I was driving at the time either, which was a 1977 Plymouth Arrow with the 2 liter...

I have an HP desktop that I bought in 2009. It was originally running Vista, but I upgraded it to Win 7 Pro and I have had no issues with it so far. Microsoft ran their bug program in 2017 nagging people to upgrade to Win 10, but I turned that off. I don't need that on my desktop; it doesn't...

It's unlikely your 318 will be harmed by burning unleaded. i've been using unleaded in my 1974 dodge with 318 V-8 for a couple of years now, and it has not affected the way the car runs. At the time the car was new, gas stations were already selling a reduced lead content fuel, so the car...

The kid should ask for a job at Mark Worman's shop. It looks like he could handle it all - engine rebuild, body work, interior, etc. If he could stand Mark's bad jokes and clowning.
