Nice picture. Back in the 60's I was a crew member on an RC135 aircraft out of Eielsen AFB, near Fairbanks, Alaska. Our missions averaged 15 hours, wheels up to wheels down. The plane was so heavy with electronic equipment that we had to take off with very little fuel to safely get in the...

Sorry Mike. I wasn't trying to sidestep the rules. I just thought he should at least have the knowledge of my seats in case he had a transport method that works for him. I've seen your comments toothers about selling only in the For Sale forum and I was being my customary airhead self. I...

Rick, Thanks for the response. Some surgery this morning and I am somewhat foggy. I will be calling you on a different day when I am functioning better. Jerry

Hello good people, I'm working on my 1963 Dodge Dart station wagon One question involves the tailgate belt weatherstrip. I'm puzzled about where it actually goes and what the installation procedures are. The part I got from you is GG-W130. Maybe I don't need it. The other issue. I used...

I too would like to obtain a cylinder balance tester. I still don't trust insulated plug wire puller pliers. My slant has HEI conversion and my last HEI bite is still clear in my memory. Thanks, Jerry in Denver, Colorado

Yep, I'm prepared for sticking quickly. I've done floors and it does stick well. Thecleaning of the ceiling is coming along. I sure like the early A bodies. Over the decades I've had 2 '63 Darts, 3 '66 Darts and one '72 Dart that I bought new.

Thank you sir. I now have confidence that it'll stick and stay. By the way, the picture of your floor Fixmat installation went well and was well done. Jerry

I read in this thread that you planned to install Killmat on your roof panel. One thing I would like to know is, in the heat in summer, does it stay in place? I have a box of the Kilmat and, left over from another project I have some Siless that looks almost the same. Cleaning the ceiling of...

Damned if I never considered this. I'm 14 years retired from a Colorado state vehicle emissions testing laboratory. This was not a state inspection site but rather research lab. I was licensed to perform and issue valid inspection certificates, however this was done only when lab testing...

Thanks to all for setting my mind at ease. I went through thinking about this years ago and my conclusion was the same then. Cone shaped lug nuts and lug holes centers fine if the wheel was manufactured properly. RRR, some years ago I used a set of aluminum slots and I thought then about the...

I've been looking at the Mopar Action magazine article. I understand the concept but when the tapered seat lugnuts are torqued on the wheel, what would a ring accomplish. Seems to me that the ring could do nothing since the lugs and tapered lugnuts hold the wheel solid on the hub or axle...

If I get a successful front end alignment from a local shop I'll be staring at a headliner install, possibly/probably by a local upholstery shop. The quarter glass and windshield must come out to expose the pinchwelds over which the edges of the headliner are attached. From Layson's I...

We too have had many many cats over the past 35 years. In our experience, if the cat is treated respectfully and with kindness there will be no aggression at all. We've never experienced any aggression at all. "Not once" as RRR said.I would not want to deal with a cat that I have seriously...

I'll just figure it out. My wagon spare is a big bolt circle 14" mopar wheel. When I take the stands out I'll be able to get to the spare and check fit. Why do we do this stuff?

Oh rats!! I didn't know about 13 inch wheels having smaller poverty caps. Any old poverty caps are sorta rare so I have an additional hunt coming up. I much prefer steel wheels with original caps. I disliked poverty caps when I was a kid. Spinner wheel covers were the hot items in the...
