    Vin letters question.

    I know a guy who bought a 69 Dodge Daytona that was in Australia and brought it to the USA. It had been converted to right hand drive, and he has left it that way. Nice car, and has been in a lot of magazines.

    Nope of the day

    My wife's sister and brother-in-law have a place on Hartwell. We visited a few years ago and were just out tooling around on jet skis. We stopped to jump in and cool off, and I saw a plastic water bottle bobbing up and down in the water. Pulled it up and it was a mini jug line, but had a Gar...

    Vin letters question.

    Do you have to convert them to right hand drive or can you leave them as is? Seems like I remember someone on Moparts.com, who was either in NZ or AUS buying a USA car and having to switch it to right hand drive. That was 20 or so years ago though. Looks like you got a nice Dart to fix, so hope...

    Monthly internet connection costs. Question?

    That's great Jim. You've probably already done it, but make sure you have unlimited data usage on your cell phone so you don't get a big whopping phone bill from running over your data limit.

    I think the steering box/frame brace may be factory, or an add on because of a recall or something. It looks just like the one on my truck. I had my wife wiggle the steering wheel back and forth with the engine running so I could look to see where the play was in my steering. My steering box was...

    Poor little Marshall :( I'm sure it hurt....been thru it myself too many times. Very sorry for your loss. I'm going to pull my steering box off and weld the cracks in the frame, and probably plate it too. It already has the diagonal brace that runs over beneath the radiator. I've gotta move my...

    Hey Kevin! That will make a nice ride around truck. I have an 88 D100 long bed with a 318 that I'm gonna swap a 98 5.9 Magnum into, hopefully this coming winter. My 88 is the 5.5 bolt pattern. I'm gonna keep it 5.5 because it has factory rallye wheels. I have a early 70's D100 8 3/4 to swap into...

    Am I crazy or is this project Duster way overpriced?

    Monthly internet connection costs. Question?

    Jim, if your internet connection with AT&T turns out to be pretty good, you can stream channels you like to watch thru Roku or other such streaming services. The streaming thing is pretty easy. Once you get it down, it's like anything else....just repitition. A regular old TV antenna works fine...

    MET THIS LADY.......CHECK IT OUT

    We have a camper set up permanently in an ocean front campground towards the northern end of Myrtle Beach and are here for the weekend. Wanted to try and shake your hand and say hi if you were still around. Outer Banks is a great place, so have fun there. You picked the right time of the year to...

    MET THIS LADY.......CHECK IT OUT

    Wow....what a treat! She's good. Are you still in the Myrtle Beach area? I'm here at our place up on the Northern end for a few more days. I've got a whole gaggle of :canada: geese here that you can take home with you! lol.

    Nope of the day

    If I were that driver, I believe I would find out who the MFG's were that made both the king pin and the hitch plate/latch. Then I'd go and shake everybody in the building's hand and thank them for doing a good job!

    Rest In Peace to my cat Copper Girl

    Happy Heavenly Birthday to you Miss Copper! If you see a big ol Siamese kitty that's kind of cross eyed around the Rainbow Bridge, his name is Clarence and he's a good guy. Tell him Dad said hi and I miss him.

    New Challenger - deep discounts again

    Didn't mean they sound like 6 cylinders....I meant they don't sound as good as old V8's if you compare both with loud exhaust. They just have a weird sound when they have loud exhaust.

    New Challenger - deep discounts again

    The Gen 3 Hemis don't sound much better than the V6 cars when they have loud exhaust. I hear them on the interstate about a half mile from my house making noise at night. They have a distinct sound and it ain't pleasant! That was the main reason I ditched the 5.7 Hemi swap for my 70 Duster and...

    I saw my first Tesla truck today.

    My wife and I went out to eat last weekend with @RAT ROD AL & Theresa, and one of those butt ugly things pulled into the parking lot right outside our window. I told Al I was thinking about sueing Tesla for copyright infringement because it looks like that thing I drew on the wall with a crayon...

    Not an A body guy, but . . . Floor pan question

    Does the 66 Valiant need a full floor pan or just patches? Auto Body Specialties has all 4 patches for early A bodies such as the 66 Valiant. Several years ago, someone on here used an AMD full floor pan from a 67 - 76 A body in an early A, but it took a lot of work to get the middle of the pan...

    Machinist will not build engine unless roller cam is used!

    Nope, no ticking. Sometimes, the ticking noise with retrofit hydro rollers comes from worn lifter bores in older engines. I had my lifter bores bushed, so the whole shebang is new and working together. The bushings had .040 oil holes drilled in them before install, and that concerned me after...

    Glad you're ok. Hang in there and get well soon. 8 stents sound like a lot, but a few may be doubled up or overlapping in the same artery.

    Machinist will not build engine unless roller cam is used!

    My machinist is one of my closest friends. He's 81 years old and has been a machinist for almost 60 years, and having built many engines for NASCAR teams and drivers that put a lot of big names in the winners circle. He will no longer build a street engine with hydraulic flat tappet cams because...
