    Better Torque From A 318

    A 500Hp 440 is currently cheaper to build than a 400HP 318. I just finished another and the 440 was $2000 cheaper. Start with a 360 or 440 if you can.

    Rust! Should I sell it?

    It's just way too easy to end up loosing $10,000 of parts and your labor in a car without even noticing these days. Once I started billing myself for $120/hr shop time and depositing it into a second account my projects were scaled way back. I went to Hawaii on vacation instead.

    Rust! Should I sell it?

    This is exactly why I posted the easier and cheaper repair since it's not a rare collectable and neither is mine.

    Screwdrivers

    Carlyle from Nappa $45 on sale https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/CHTSDS8 5 years so far, the only issue is the size and type of driver print wears off of the plastic end on the handle. I've used them as punches and pickle forks changing ball joints with no dammage. I've used a few as pry bars...

    Rust! Should I sell it?

    Keep it. You may not find another. So far I've gotten 5 years out of using multiple coats of rust desolver, sanding and wirewheeling until it quit turning white between coats then spraying rust reformer in hard to reach areas to finally top off with roll on truck bed liner to seal it. I did the...

    They are easy to locate just use google maps and manually search your area for project cars. If it's behind a barn or in a back or side yard.......take a guess.

    What I think is going on and why my experience is different is I live in an area that used to be a HUGE group of Mopar old timers that are unfortunately dying off and their kids are just giving away their hordes and projects.

    You have to be quick and constantly refreshing the page. Deals only get posted for a few hours until they sell in Missouri. I'm just an hour or two by truck and flatbed over in Southern Illinois South East of Cape. There are still old timers with acres of Mopars around, they just don't use the...

    These that I have posted are all overpriced. Dusters running and daily driven are being sold locally for between $4000-$6000 and Online prices are always higher than local word of mouth prices and deals. I bought a 140,000 mile 73 Duster for $1,900 that sat garaged for over 25 years due to a...
