    Top 5 worst A-body repairs/restoration jobs

    Replacing power steering box, getting it out was bad, getting new one in, I would get it finagled around, didn't quite have enough oomph to get it up in place and hold it and get bolts started. Starter, have to finagle it around, then stand it on end and drop it out, but be sure to have your...

    Rare, multi carb intakes

    Just out of curiosity, I wondered if there were rare multi carb intakes for Chrysler engines, primarily small blocks. I have seen the 2 four barrels and 3 two barrels, but wondered bout the multiple (6-10) single barrel intakes or any other off or rare intakes.

    Hit a deer with my Dart what to check?

    Ran over a deer with my dart this morning, it was already dead laying in the road. Doing around 70mph. Didn't see any body damage on dart, some flesh and blood on frame rail. What should I check underneath? Seemed to drive fine, but plan on having alignment checked. Thanks Aaron

    My wife accidentally ruined my childhood

    In one house growing up we had a cistern with rats in it. We didn't use that water for cooking or drinking. Would fill a couple 5 gallon containers in town every couple days. This was back before bottled water. Never would have thought back then that people would pay for a bottle of water.

    Temporary passenger side tow mirror

    Teardrop is only 4 foot wide, so I don't need anything to big, just to be able to see down right side. The temporary tow mirror I have has 2 tabs that go under the hood and a tube with a hook that hooks on the wheel opening lip. When I try to tighten it down, the tubes pull down against my...

    HDK on Texas Metal

    I watched that one for the ramp truck too. Kind of half watched it(surfing on my phone). Did they reuse anything from the original truck. Did I see right? Built new frame, replaced cab with crew cab, and no ramp body? Kind of disappointed.

    TV car shows!!!

    I like Full Custom Garage, been watching it for a few years on MAVTV, now it's on Velocity. He does awesome customs, without a lot of fancy tools, and there's not a whole lot of product placement.

    I tried the wire clamps on my 67 273, the bypass hose wouldn't seal. I found some hoses are thinner wall than some. So I switched to screw clamps.
