There aren't even enough muscle car guys around anymore to care about stuff like that. Back in the day I only remember Mopar guys waving to me when I drove my Duster around. Now it's everyone from Ford to Chevy to VW. I think we all respect the work that goes into these things regardless of the...

Doesn't Freiburger usually sell his stuff a lot cheaper than that? Either way the person buying the car is not buying it so they can restore it. They'll more than likely just keep it the way it is and maintain it or fix the little annoying things that are broken. No one is buying that car so...

First thing is you need to figure out what welder you're getting and what the compressor and welder require for wire/breaker size. I wouldn't go with option 2 because it's not up to code at all. What about option 3? If your compressor and welder can utilize the same 3 wire NEMA plug, you can...

I made up this bracket to get my TKX shifter located correctly for a factory console. It's not pretty but it gets the job done. Only caveat with this setup is the seat can't go all the way forward anymore. You may be a little uncomfortable if you're 5'6" or shorter.

Doesn't bother me. Not everyone is a guru when it comes to every subject and they shouldn't be expected to speak like one if they're merely just interested in your car and curious to learn about it. If someone asks you if your Mopar has a posi and you walk away thinking they're an...

That's really annoying. At least he didn't wait until you were 5 hours into the drive to stop answering you. It doesn't really apply to Mopar guys from what I've seen but with my experience buying other things off of marketplace, I've noticed that people get really creeped out if you try to...

Hate the fact that you got scammed but you gotta be able to spot scammers a bit better when they claim they can only accept payment through their daughter Pearson Reginald's zelle. The good thing is, there's a lot more good people on this site that are willing to hook you up than there are...

Yeah that's why I cut into the wall of the garage to bypass two of them and I'm trying to dig down near the barn to bypass two as well. Once I get the wires fed through the long straight portion, I can then easily feed them through the rest of the 90s.

I could replace one at the barn but I don't think it would help a whole lot in the configuration its in. Probably not worth typing out a few paragraphs on here to explain but I've gone over all possible scenarios in my head. I just ordered 500ft of 4 gauge so I'm going to attempt to pull it...

They're still in but I have six 90s total in the run. I cut into the conduit to bypass two of the 90s at my house and I'd need to cut into it to bypass the two or three 90s at the barn to even have a chance of pulling anything through there. Even a new pull string.

Collapsed is a good possibility too. I never discount the work or ideas someone had in the past that seemed like a good idea at the time. There is a light pole with an outlet on it and conduit going into the ground that is perpendicular to where I believe the blockage is at. Its what had me...

Thinking about it more, I'm going to need to pull the wires out and install 4 gauge. Currently has 6 gauge but the run is 120ft to the barn. The run from the barn to the shop is 60ft so I'm definitely going to need 4 gauge if I'm running off 50amp breakers for that length. I was able to get...

That's a 65. Never heard of the business before but they have excellent google reviews and quite a few of them. Looks to be a pretty safe bet as long as someone who knows what they're looking at will be there to look the car over. Buying sight unseen is always a roll of the dice.

Agreed. Popularity will fade but 60s/70s era muscle cars are still widely thought of as the best looking cars. Even by people who wouldn't necessarily own one. I'll drive my car past a group of kids walking down the street and when I look in the mirror, there's always one kid that snaps his...

As always, thanks for the insightful help everyone. I've been doing some research and it sounds like the second ground rod at the shop or the barn is basically a false ground with the ground and neutral unbonded at the sub panel and also path to energize my conduit in the scenario where I bond...
