    Back in a body

    I don't know why it took so long to get back in a Duster but it finally happened last week. I had the brown (originally orange) 1970 340 Duster in 1988 until I started college in 1991. I then bought the red 1968 Formula S Barracuda and built a 416 stroker for it. I had it 2004 to 2015 Now I have...

    Going to try auction tomorrow

    I have been half assed trying to sell my Barracuda the last couple of years. I have had it 13 years and really enjoyed it when I had a passion of working on it. The last couple of years as my son gets a bit older and family stuff takes precedence it tends to not get used very much. Tomorrow I...

    1968 Formula S...modify it beyond return?

    I have a 1968 Formula 340 S from California. Original engine is long gone. I have been running it with a 1970 block 416 last 5 summers. Car is great but I am ready to take it to next level.

    downloading music

    I am a little embarrassed to say that I haven't bought music in probably 15 years. Back then it was CD's. I have relied on FM and XM radio but would really like to get some of my favorite songs instead of buying CD's full of good and not so good songs like I did in the past. What is the best way...

    Lithium ion vs Air

    So I have my garage finally set up with 220V and ready to buy a good compressor but then started to think should I buy the compressor or invest in battery power? It seems the impacts, ratchets and drivers are all going battery power. For the $500 to $1000 I was saving for a good compressor I...

    Good Dodge commercial

    I saw this on Velocity tonight and went and found it on the internet. I thought it was worth watching again. http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7ufJ/2015-dodge-charger-and-challenger-dodge-brothers-john-vs-horace

    1968 Formula S...OK to keep modifying?

    10 years ago I went looking for another 1970 340 Duster like I had in high school. I came across a 1968 Formula S 340 Barracuda P code with a great body (California black plate) and a weak 318. I had no idea how to do body work so at 31 years old I thought great buy with a weak 318 and a...

    Time for feedback on car for sale

    I have had this listed for sale on here for a while now. I have not advertised it anywhere else or even put any signs on it. I am not a very aggressive seller. I would like to get honest (yes I expect negative) opinions so I know what to fix or do different when I get more serious about selling...

    We are getting our first good soaking rain today now that the snow's gone meaning the salt is getting washed off the roads. Tomorrow's supposed to be nice so I am going up to pull the Barracuda out of storage tomorrow. Yippee! I have it posted here for sale right now but I can tell that...

    I am getting ready to put the car away again for the winter this weekend. I have been daily driving my Barracuda the last couple months on nice days and a weird noise has developed when I brake.

    Turns out I got tickets to the Detroit Tigers Saturday night and the Woodward Dream Cruise is this weekend. I plan to head down early to check it out. I have never been. Is there anything I should try to see or better place to attend this event? I am not bringing the Barracuda this year as I...

    mopar money

    We all know you don't get out what you put in but even at $62K they sure have a long way to go before they complete this as a 1971 Cuda. Obvious scam add. :wack: http://porthuron.craigslist.org/cto/3936736155.html

    Annoying fuel issues

    I am sick of my Barracuda sitting so I am now driving it to work and back daily unless there are big storms. A couple things are preventing this from being an enjoyable experience (other than the gas mileage but I am definitely OK with that). When you fill it up the pump will not shut off...

    Might have a lead....

    Unfortunately had to attend a wake for a long time friend last night in Sault Ste Marie. Greg Pateman. Great guy had issues in his arteries in his brain leading to many strokes during his later 20's. He was 40 and will be missed terribly. He couldn't communicate but his laugh was infectious...

    Detroit 69 Dart looks real nice $3600

    Not mine but this looks like a great deal for $3600. Not the greatest area of Detroit but it is probably less than 5 miles from where I bought my Formula S in Eastpointe. This is the first time I have posted somebody else's add. My wife doesn't like it and she tolerates my car buying habits so I...

    Canadian Mopar music from the 90's

    Back in the 90's I remember cruising around Sault Ste Marie in my 70 340 Duster cranking this on my pioneer cassette deck with awesome 6X9's. Just thought I would share as I was just thinking about this. Hopefully the link works. Haven't done this before...

    Summers done..one more

    I took the boat out of the water yesterday and have the first fire in the woodstove tonight as I think back over the summer. Not the greatest summer as I only had the Barracuda out a half dozen times or so. Very busy at work and all with limited time off and my time off days were 95 degrees plus...

    SBP Centerlines complete mid Michigan

    Don't want to ship but I have Centerline wheels SBP with new front tires and worn out Mickey Thompson rears. As you can see they are great condition with center caps. I had them on my 68 Barracuda until I bought new wheels and tires. I think they are 8.5 and 3.5's but not quite sure. Not...

    Best value 1/2" impact

    Currently I have an electric impact that does fine but putting a lift in my YJ has so many places where this thing is way to big to fit. I currenly have a 20 gallon verticle portable Craftsman air compressor and plan to move to the Campbell Hausfeld 60 gallon shortly. I want to know what is the...

    Adding functionality to my Mopar/Jeep shop

    Had a retired electrician come over today and put a couple 220 circuits into my pole barn. I have 200A service and only maybe 4 15A 120V circuits on it now. This runs the outlets in the walls, a lighting circuit (with one plug) to the unheated storage side of the pole barn. I have a 30X48 pole...

    Winter woodstove prep

    We bought our house last year and the #1 feature for me was a woodstove. I only burnt a couple cords of dry hardwood through it but am getting ready to burn a couple more this year. Should I hire somebody as a chimney sweep or find a way to clean it. I sent a couple chimney clean logs through it...

    When do you need subframe connectors

    I have been driving my 68 Formula S with its 416 for a couple years now. Built and fully ported by Lapouttre racing at that time following a 10 second build he did earlier that year. It has a 3.23 open 8 3/4 so I haven't been too concerned with the torque this thing makes. The right rear just...
