Looking for good used original exhaust manifolds for a Dodge Dart 1971, 318 cui. with power steering column. Robert

Hi Don - in Europe, "Ute" is an old german female name with the meaning of "heir" or "property"... a name still common in Germany 8 ). Took out my 66 Barracuda yesterday and drove it into heavy swiss rain...(first time since restoration). It might soon look like your panels...:)

Don, there were a few others that opened the hood. But not for reason of showing the enginges, but to check and keep them running... 8 )))

1966 Plymouth Barracuda in classic car convoi

Another fine classic car meeting spring 2018.

Don & Robert at the US-Car Meeting Schenkon in Switzerland May 27th 2018 Don & Judy in the classic cable car in the swiss alps (Rigi)

From May 25th to May 28th 2018 we had a wonderful visit of FABO-Member and friend Don Hudson and his lovely wife Judy here in Switzerland. We had a great time together, did sightseeing in Luzern and visited a US-Car-Meeting (The-Wanderer.ch Startseite /US Car Club Luzern, US Autoclub, US...

Hi Don. Great! First steps in "how to hold a screwdriver", "rasp movements" and at least "how to weld" I learned from my grandfather in his tiny shop. He used to work as an engineer at BBC (Brown Boveri Company) here in Baden. I still can remember the smell of oil, grease and iron shavings...

This is the car. The plugs should be ok too. I put in a new set of carpet and checked them all. I'll check the lips (on 2nd pic). Maybe they are not fully airtight. A good spot to suck in air or exhaust gas from the outside. You can see the exaust pipes pointing away from the car. Nevertheless...

When driving the Barracuda, my wife complains, that there is a smell of exhaust air (not fuel) inside the car. I do not bother that much, but she's right; it's even stronger when windows are openend. I already changed the trunk rubber seal to make that trunk compartment tight, with positive but...

Hey Don. Great! Noticed on pic.#3 (in the snow) theres still the headlight bezel on the left side on the car. Must have fallen off while in owner#1's possession. lol.

My first visit on a US-Car Meeting in Switzerland this season.

Here's my plastic promo model-car from 1966 (about Scale 1:28). Decided to paint it in my original colors on a rainy weekend... 8 )
