A fellow Mopar guy needed help with his Plymouth today so a few more showed up. Good times... The dark haired guy is Dwayne, known at FBBO as 68 Sport Satellite. His Plymouth is incredibly clean. I did a Borgeson steering box in it in 2023 along with a Vintage Air installation. Remember...

Not all of us here simply log in to talk about our projects. Some actually do post content that helps others. It would be impossible to have rules that encompass every situation that can happen, so many instances may arise where it is a judgement call as to whether a comment or a thread is...

To those of you that buy or sell on the forum, it is nice to have an easy, no hassle sales transaction where both sides are happy with the deal. Yesterday I got a PM from a guy that saw a comment I made about a hood latch. He wanted one that I had, I set a fair price and estimated shipping, he...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a hard copy of a FSM for a 1972 Plymouth Duster? I am not interested in a free downloaded one. I don't want it on my computer, I don't want to print anything out. I like books so I want a hard copy of it. Years ago the wife bought me one for my 1970 Charger...

Being blessed/cursed with a curious mind, I always wonder why, what if and how come. Companies like Chrysler always seemed to swing between being flush with cash to then being borderline bankrupt. You'd think that they would have had better control of themselves and controlled costs better by...

Looking at the lifter valleys of V8 engines, there is some design differences between the different manufacturers. Our Mopar engines seemed to have more than adequate support around the lifter bores. Have you seen a Pontiac ? What kind of crap is this ? This is a 66 389. It just seems...

Sometimes your life is so busy, you don’t have time to just play. Lately, I haven’t had anything pressing so I’ve been a bit aimless. I do a lot better when there is a deadline or an obligation to meet. Sound familiar to you? I got a call from a guy that needed a 7 1/4” axle. He blew the...

What the heck happened here? https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/stop-it-i-meme-it.492237/page-1475#post-1975175432 I didn't see anything out of bounds.

There used to be the word IGNORE on the New Posts and Recent Posts pages on each subject line. I see that it is gone. Why was this removed? It used to be here:

Awhile back I stumbled upon a couple gallons of CLR…. I already had 5 gallons of Evaporust… Now I’m trying to clean out light rust scale in a gas tank that is otherwise pretty good. Is this stuff compatible? They warn of fumes…. I already have 5 gallons of Evaporust in the tank. If the CLR...

Mopars and Mimosas ? Who is with me ?? Maybe Mopars and margaritas? Some people aren't coffee drinkers.... Others like me don't like to get up early....How about a non judged show-and-shine that starts around 11:00 with booze shacks set up for those that wish to imbibe ? This might...

I am in NO way a tech guy. I like old fashioned stuff for the most part but this past week, I've been toying around with altering some images with ChatGPT, an AI program I heard about a few months back. It has been fun to see how things could have been if nature had gone the other way. I've...

If a deal seems to good to be true, trust your instincts. Beware of Websites Posing as Summit Racing Equipment To Our Valued Customers, We have been made aware of fraudulent websites posing as Summit Racing Equipment and offering products at heavily...

The one that I use is a Hewlett Packard and about 4 years old. Restarts don't seem to help, clearing cookies doesn't either. The wife thinks that laptops wear out and need periodic replacement and since she works for a software corporation, I would tend to believe that. Being a car guy though, I...

Isn't it great when you get a new/old car for a project and it turns out better than you expected? About 12-18 months ago, I started thinking that it might be nice to look into buying a 4 door classic to play around with. I thought about a Fifth Avenue or some other Mopar from the 70s. I...

A month ago my 13 year old nephew said he wants a classic car and wants my help to build it. I have a 71 Duster up the hill that I had planned on fixing up but this thing with the kid is something more important. I’ve always wanted to have a kid to guide, to mentor. He was all excited about the...

I have been asked to build a car for my nephew. We are using a Duster, either a 71 or a 74, it has yet to be determined. I have one of each and both will require about the same amount of work to the body. Normally, I default to a 360 for the A bodies that I have built to sell because in stock...

WE all know CHEAP people. Some of us are those people. Sometimes they are really smart and just not being wasteful but sometimes their penny pinching ways are annoying. Me? I can be cheap sometimes. It sometimes is motivated by money but other times I like a challenge to do more with less. This...

@MrJLR Is this your car in this meme? It looks a lot like your car, right?

Like many others here, I often sell stuff of mine to buy stuff for my own projects. We buy parts cars and sell stuff from them, we sometimes buy stashes of parts from some old timer and pack it up to sell at a swap meet. I love selling stuff. This guy I know that used to live in a tee pee...

Remember those weird Burger King ads with the plastic faced King? That dude was creepy with that stupid grin....the dude always just appearing out of thin air with a hamburger. The forest, a woman's house, wherever. If some ******* dork appeared in my house UNinvited, I'd hope my dogs would bite...

Who here has the stones to take this test and post the results? Short Dark Tetrad, SD4

When I was a kid, my Dad used to comment how some cars on the road looked like other cars from other manufacturers. I'm sure you have noticed that too. Some say that the Duster, Demon and Dart Sport look like a 68-72 Nova. The recessed rear window in a 68-70 Charger looks like the rear window in...

Is this something new? I know that the Bureau of Automotive Repair places weird restrictions and practices on repair shops. Several years ago, I read they required all shops to do a tire pressure check even if they were in for something completely UNrelated to the tires. Is that happening here...

I read on Mopar Action awhile back about these new battery jumper boxes: These are interesting. I like the idea of having something lightweight and compact to bring with any vehicle I'm taking on road trips. No need for getting help from someone else for a jump start if you accidently...

I saw this complete car at the Pick-N-Pull in Rocklin, CA. 1980 Chrysler Cordoba. Ever see this engine code? E 46? Yeah. 318 4 barrel. Did you see the base timing setting? That is what we often set the timing in engines with big cams! Not a lean burn but it did have some weird...

Being a rebel can be rewarding when it works out for you....and it can be embarrassing when it fails and everyone saw it coming. Do you have stories of where you were advised to NOT do something and you did it anyway? How did it work out? Maybe you were advised TO do something and you didn't...

Do any of you remember the drive and force that you felt years ago when something needed to be done? I do. I used to take things as a challenge and rise to meet it. I was motivated to do things. Many times nowadays, it just isn't there. Part of me wants to but laziness creeps in. I want to get...

This seems to be a great time to buy if you're looking. I have seen (what seems to me) a FAR MORE THAN USUAL amount of sale ads in the lists under "New Posts". I don't recall seeing that many ads since White Punk On Nitro was around.
