Love the decal "watch out for flying tools"!

Someone might want to discourage him from leaning over the radiator and fan revving the engine. That can be extremely dangerous.

Yeah, good example of what not to do to your car. Rev the piss out of it in neutral. Enough to open the secondaries. No deal.

 

[A56]

Really?

Mopar guy has a white engine bay on a blue car? Good for you Tony, buck the trend! Motor has a nice idle.

 

[JoePole1]

He likes to paint his engine bay white. Sometimes undercarriage and fender wells also. Said any issues like leaks and such show up better.

Fuel lines look kinda sketchy also, but I dont wanna nit pick too bad

 

[Oldiron440]

If you don't build a leaking pos engine you dont need a white engine bay too find leaks.

If you put a gen3 hemi in maybe you won't have a leaker.

Did yall read the caption? Car is just like it was in the 70s.

Let's face it. These cars are not being described as show quality or award winners and the videos are not being sold as "how to". They are being built to show what can be done by Joe average in the garage or even yard without a lift and with basic tools. A lot like, dare I say, the majority of the guys and gals here at FABO. I cannot see the harm in what UT is doing. On the contrary. Speaking for myself here but his videos have inspired me and given me confidence to go out and turn some wrenches. I think we all know by now to get a shop manual and reach out here if ya get stuck or want advice. But haters gotta hate.

Well said sir!

Sorry to 318wr for getting off track. FABO may also like to know that the Runner had been sitting for 10 years. He had to swap out a fuel pump. Pretty much it.
