If a 15" BFG is too much money to drive 1500 miles the car never gets driven at all...like most of them including my neighbor that has 2 GTOs. These are like the "go get ice cream" cars. The Challenger, especially the older ones are basically full size luxury cars with V8s anyway which somehow...

Thanks! It's easier to build one like mine now than ever. I had to do a bunch of stuff a harder way. Now they sell EFI gas tanks vs my Aeromotive Phantom, easier to use Holley ECUs that are reasonable vs megasquirt, brake kits, steering boxes, wheels, closer "kits" for T56, I have a lot of info...

Having seen the route of the actual tour this year, its maybe 35% on the freeway. I'm driving 560 miles on Sunday to get to my folks house in the Nashville Metro (3 nights there and 3 on the road), but as you mention, it doesn't matter for me, I can pretty easily cruise at 80 and 2200 rpm so...

I wish everything wasn't about what was "easier". The whole point of this was to tour modified classic cars even from day 1. The reality is very few people ever look at the new cars, even though there's nothing really wrong with most of them I never bought one because I didn't want to be one of...

This was from yesterday, the left is the RadarOmega app with the box where it says radar indicated and on the right is the text that comes in any app, is broadcast on the NOAA weather radio station, and should be scrolled on the screen on TV which says the source. If they update it it will say...

Those are cheapo, low-flow fans, and you're expecting the air to make a 90 degree turn right at the back because the shroud has no depth. No idea what the fan setpoint is, but it will spike a few degrees above that point even if it has enough capacity to cool it forever. It won't run right on...

I'm expecting that there will be a bunch of less than 10 year old Camaros, Mustangs, Challengers, and Chargers there that not many people really look at like many other events.

They're trying to save lives, there's a pretty solid chance based on doppler radar, especially with a hook echo present that there is one trying to drop. In some cases it's night or rain wrapped so seeing it for real is tricky. They actually do have levels... Radar Indicated, Confirmed (Meaning...

Update, it's all finished, charged up. Was blowing 40 degree air in the outer vent yesterday when it was 75-77 and very humid. I did find it cycles a lot because of the evaporator freeze up switch seems to get tripped a lot in humid temps. There was water condensing on the bottom of the unit...

Hope everyone is alright, one missed my folks place in TN December 9th by about 800 feet. Their house was fine but that was a close call.

The newer caps with the vents like this - you need some air space for expansion to happen. You don't need the fluid all the way up to the bottom of the openings for the caps. You want at least 10% of the total reservoir volume for air space. But yes, the vents toward the back is very...

Yeah, I can jack up my very well used/high mileage car and the doors open and shut exactly the same and the gaps do not change whatsoever. One of these years I need to actually rebuild the hinges so it's right and fix the solidly welded striker but this car is in the 260-270k mile range as far...

Trust me, there's probably few people on here that did more projects that take patience and pre-planning - MPFI, 6-speed swap, Classic auto air, etc... this one just doesn't seem worth the extra effort compared to the other options. Most of the other frame connectors you just pop the front...

Subframe connectors are great. I don't know that I would suggest putting on the USCT ones unless you're either a masochist or have the car totally blown apart. I have the hotchkis ones and it really stiffened up the car. The door used to rattle on bumps and no longer did immediately after...

Most cars you would do a 180 stat and turn the fan on at 195 or 200. That is not hot enough to do anything you'd need to worry about.
