I built a CJ5 Jeep w/ a healthy 304 and used the HS rockers. Sold it to a freind 8 years ago. It's still running like a swiss watch!

Anybody here watch the Mecum auction (the poor mans B-J?) at Indy? My jaw hit the floor when they announced that the 426 Hemi/Auto Coronet went for $26K. What a deal! The side moulding was just a wee bit off where it met from the door and the rear quarters, but damn! $26K? Somebody got a steal!

And being a great Mopar Dad....your looking for the father / son project already?

Just the quick and dirty of it, and something to think about other than Leanna's legs (which are VERY SEXY!). My brother and I built a cage out of PVC pipe and attached cheap tarps (that you can get at Dollar General, CHEAP) on all sides and the bottom for a make shift outside blast cabinet...

I'll let my 15 year old respond to this one.......... "Uhhhmmm......The Duster was good enough for Sox and Martin wasn't it? Cheap? Ugly? Not worth a ****? REALLY? I'd bet you haven't got enough sack between your legs to come get some of my Dart!" From the mouth of babes.

Thanks for the encouragement StokerScamp and vtmopar! Perhaps an old Chevy/Olds guy hasn't lost his mind....yet! moturbopar - Unless a miracle lands in our lap we are stuck with the 1.88 / 1.60 heads (remind you, this is all on a 15 years old kids budget, but nothing says that heads can't be...

Dennis Hopper on a rigid frame pan head with drag bars! I just watched Easy Rider. I'm pumped up! Captain America is cool, but there is nothing cooler than that bike that Dennis Hopper rode in the movie. Old school, skinny tired chopper. Cool! WAY COOL!

Mid to late 70's low compression engine (probably out of a truck). Upon tear down it appears that it hadn't seen a hard life at all. Very little ridge on the cylinder wall. 7th or 8th rod bearing (which ever is last on the crank) was just getting into copper on the bearing, the others looked...

I remember when you first posted about this after you got it. Looks like you did a pretty good job. I see you opted not to go with the roll bar? Dude, C'Mon! Nothing says 70's Baja Truck like a roll bar with about 4 Hella's on it!

I just got wood thinking about this. :grin:

Is there a specific oil pan that I need to purchase / be on the lookout for, for a 360 that will be going in a '73 Duster?

The green cars rot had rot! It was "rescued" from a wooded area where it had sat (and sank) for the past 20 years. They had to cut trees down just to get it out! Plus it took four mules and a little boy to pull it out of the ground.

Alot went on over the winter. Unfortunately it wasn't on Project Deeds! But lady luck has smiled on us and I was able to work out a deal with a co-worker of mine who co-owns New Covenant Performance (ncperformanceinc.com (Check them out! (That was my cheap, shameless plug for their shop.)...

Are you listening Mr. France? Several things tork me off about the sport, one of the biggest was when they started taking races away from the "boring" tracks and gave them to tracks owned by Frances sister!

I've watched NASCAR for a very long time. Been to my favorite track (Bristol, TN) several times. Watched the first televised race on CBS and saw the Allison / Yarborough brawl while sitting on a green vinyl couch next to my dad. Met alot of NASCAR drivers over the years. I cried when Dale Sr...

I'm keeping the Dodge Ram. I just can't swing a bigger payment right now. My company cut our annual performance bonus in half, lowered what they were matching on 401(k) from 5% to 3%, and anything over 40 hours I don't get paid for. I just wish the Ram got better gas mileage as I drive 120 miles...

Sweet! I'll do a little homework / bargain shopping. I have 3 major expenses and one major decision going on with the truck right now. #1) It needs tires (BAD!). It has had the stock Goodyear AT/S 275/70/R17's since I bought it. I am favoring a Michelin in the same size because they make a...

My '04 Ram 4X4 Off Road needs new shocks. I don't carry heavy loads in the bed and about the heaviest thing I would pull is the car trailer with my Oldsmobile or my son's Duster on it. Any recommendations?

Thank you all for the links and comments. That information will be put to good use. And my lawnmower may just low my mawn in record time!

Good combo!

If you know who Popcorn Sutton was and the art in which he dabbled, PM me. I need some direction on building a, uh....well you know. One of those.

Let us see pics of your handy work. I'm not handing my Baby over to just anyone!

I know there are a few on here. Can anyone in the Champaign/Urbana, Illinois area recommend a good body man? I got a serious rust problem developing on my 32K original mile '73 Cutlass Supreme. Any recommendations?

Not "A Body" related, but a good (heart breaking) story anyway. Back in 1989 I had a buddy call me on a Sunday morning to tell me about a car for sale that he had just by chance caught while listening to the local radio station flea market on Saturday afternoon and thought I would be interested...

I'd like to see it myself.

Wow! I wish all my projects started out in the shape this one is in! Perhaps some one here can help you out with that crimped up piece of trunk trim that has a notch jabbed in it?

I started riding bikes with the Kawasaki KZ series....750, 1000, 1000P (I felt like John Baker on the 1000P!). Then moved on to the ZX series.......9R, 10, 10R, 11, and 14 (that 14 was the baddest a$$ bike I've ever been on!). I did all that stupid sh*t you see in that video. I lost a dear...

I live about 10 minutes from Urbana. Let me know where your setting up business. And I would assume that A Body members get the preferred buyer discount? LOL!

As an AMC fan. I can feel ya' on that one!

55RedNEck.....That Olds 442 looks very nice! Wish I had it! You guys are about to be made sick.......My second car (in 1987 (and I was 17) was a low miles factory '75 Chevelle Laguna S3 454/ 4spd, and triple black. I did some mods to it....Carb, intake, cam, headers. I had thee baddest ride in...
