    If it says ET on the back then it's an old ET brand wheel. They're out of business but it looks like you've found something similar.

    Electric bill went up 78%...

    Yes, this. Compare kWh between bills, if it doesn't show a significant change call the utility and ask them to explain. Call anyway, meter readers (or the automatic read meters) screw up.

    As someone that works in a coal fired power plant I wish I could like this more than once.

    make it new or leave it alone ?

    I wouldn't mess with it unless the interior is bad. I'd never touch that paint, I wouldn't buff it, clear it, nothin.

    Hurst pro matic 2 without the black base?

    I'm just wondering if anyone has a solution other than a factory console or the ugly Hurst base. Can you just put a rubber boot and chrome plate around it? I don't see why that wouldn't work but thought I'd ask before I spent the money.

    Hurst pro matic 2 without the black base?

    Anybody got a Hurst Pro Matic that they've installed without that giant ugly black plastic base? If so can I get pictures/details?

    How much weight can you shave off of an A-Body...and still have it look/drive like an A-Body?

    I'd like to see the spoiler too. I've always wondered if I could make stuff like that. I kind of doubt it.

    I really like those fender flares, where'd you get them? Any more pictures?

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    I did some work on my dual snorkel scoop yesterday, it had a few cracks. I just primed it, a little more work to do, then paint and install

    Rust Repair

    I'm definitely not a body man, but when it comes to my duster I make sure to get all the rust out of the area I'm working on. I cut/sand an area quite a bit larger than I need to just to make sure. I hate body work, I don't want to do it again in a few years. I'd take my time and sand it all...

    Will the rear axle fit?

    That depends on what you're going to do with the car. One of the first things I did with my duster was put posi in it. What are your plans for it? Ever plan to do a burnout?

    1970 Plymouth Valiant - $1495 (craigslist Arkansas)

    It has nothing to do with "the mopar world" 4 doors aren't valuable cars and slant six 3 speed rusty 4 doors are nothing but donors or winter transportation. Ford, Chevy, Dodge, it doesn't matter. You can have nice driver 4 door cars but they will never have the value of a 2 door. It's reality...

    1970 Plymouth Valiant - $1495 (craigslist Arkansas)

    Dear God, not discussion on a discussion forum! So we're only supposed to say things that you perceive as nice, truth be damned? It's a $1500 rusty parts car with a slant six and an undesirable tranny, it ain't worth it.
