Human arrogance on display

I've never used the conversion mounts but I've seen a bunch and their installation seems a little different every time. Dont forget these cars were not exactly precision built pieces. You may quite likely have to bust out the die grinder and modify your mounts or k member. FWIW I copied the...

A7X was phenomenal. One of the very few bands better live. More importantly my kid had the time of his life. Never sat down once they took the stage. Screaming and singing along. Completely opposite of his very stoic self. You would have to know him to understand. I better get a damn nice dad...

Thanks. It's his first concert. He is all smiles. He even drove us here in his little jeep. First time driving in Pittsburgh or anywhere other than the backwoods of Clarion County.

These openers suck more than Chelsea Handler in an NBA locker room. And to think Dee Snyder testified to Congress so we could have this ****. Yep break out the geritol. I'm too frigging old.

And here we have the second opener. If you ever wondered what would happen if punky Brewster became a crack ***** it is "poppy". Yep I'm definitely old.

Does anyone offer a vinyl or rubber mat for a 70 two door dart? I dont really want carpet as this is a beater/driver. I parted a wrecked 4dr valiant once that had a rubber mat and I've had multiple d trucks with a mat.

My kid wanted me to take him the the Avenged Sevenfold show for his 18th birthday. So here we are. I love A7X but we just sat through the opener Sullivan King. Well,he was loud. Really went to eleven. He reminds me of what my friends and I used to say about some guys trying to fit in with...

Call oregon cam and tell them what you want to do. Go with their suggestion and you won't be disappointed.

I would not spend a dime to fix that. But If I were bored I might try fixing it myself. When I worked in an exhaust shop we welded exhaust manifolds. I would v the cracks way out. Heat the entire manifold as hot as I could get it. Heat the areas to be welded red with a torch and then weld up...

i had a 360 the previous owner had built to mimic the little red express engine. same cam,wind age tray etc. it ran well enough in my 74 dart to win a bunch of street races but was mild enough my wife delivered pizza with it. That may be the sort of build you are looking for.

Free horsepower is the best horsepower. A good tune up goes a long way. Advancing base timing,making sure you are getting W.O.T. Making gaskets out of cereal boxes.etc These are all the steps that lead to real gains and build skills. In the free performance category,when I got a free super...

Anytime a kid asks what they should build people start spouting off suggestimg all sorts of machine work. It's like they dont remember being a teenager trying to build a car,pay car insurance,buy condoms(awfully optimistic) and take chicks out on a 25 hour a week paycheck at minimum wage. The...

That is exactly the comparison I always think of any time a 318 build is mentioned. While I'm now old and beat the cubic inches have the best bang for the buck drum,When I was a street racing teenager in the 90's the 5.0 mustang was the car to beat. A 3000lb rear drive box with a 302 roller...

Smfh. I want the ten minutes of my life spent reading this thread back. No wonder teenagers give up and put fart pipes on hondas instead of building musclecars. Some of you guys just suck the fun right out of it.
