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!

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...

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?

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...

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?

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.

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?

Try finding a servicable set of front turn signal housings for a 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass. I found a complete pair on Craigs about 2 hours from me. Told the guy I would buy them, but couldn't get to him until the weekend due to my work schedule. He sold them anyway. I just felt like banging my...

I feel that I know the collective of persons that post on here through viewing their posts and projects. And I have picked up so much information and you all have spoon fed me through my father / son project as I wasn't an A Body guy to start with, but you all have converted me and INSPIRED me...

Been looking for a 1/24 1967 Barracuda Notchback Diecast. Notchback, not the Fastback version. Anyone know where I can get one? A plastic model would do also.

Sooooo...........GM performance offers their 350 performance bare blocks and associated parts all day long. Why doesn't Mopar offer the popular 340 block?

I ONLY joined this site to educate myself about the A Body because my 15 year old chose a '73 Duster as a father / son / "first car" project. I searched the internet and found the A Bodies Only site. Since I have joined I have learned a considerable amount about this cheaply built, yet highly...

What do you guys do or how do you prep / seal the back side of your front fenders before you hang them? Especially the areas that we know get rusty over time. This will be my sons winter project. Stripping the fenders down to bare metal front and back.

I screwed this up! I gathered up all the suspension components from my brothers place and brought them home with me to refinish. And he even told me before I packed it up....."I got it all layed out like it's suppose to go." Well, here's my question. The center link and the sway bar both have a...

Last week we sand blasted the K Member, some other parts and the engine compartment. This week I applied the Por-15 system of coatings and I must say that I am very happy with the results that we got. The first 3 pics are of the Por-15 rust preventative paint. The last 3 have been primed with...

We went to my brothers today to work on Project Deeds. Got alot done (see Members Restoration). Low and behold my grandma stopped by to check on us and she brought us lunch! She even posed for us by Project Deeds. She had a '73 340/auto car back in the day. She said "You got a long way to go boys!"

After months of ](*,) and alot of :violent1: my 15 year old has decided that dad is right and he should go with an auto tranny in his project '73 Duster due to $$$ constraints on his part to wanting a 4spd tranny and manual steering. So, from the parts car we have agreed that we are going to use...

I wanna make SURE I got a handle on this before I have them pressed in this week. I got the MOOG upper A arm offset bushings for the '73 Duster. On the drivers and passenger side, the FRONT A arm bushing is installed with the arrow pointing out (toward the fender or outside the car). The REAR A...

This morning we gathered up all the new suspension parts and the POR15 package that was delivered earlier this week and my son and I drug our weary bodies an hour away to my brothers house. And I was immediately upset when we got there and realized we had forgot the camera. Anyway, this is where...

How do I tell what rear end our project Duster has in it?

Finally making progress on the Duster! And a few pics of my brothers '67 Barracuda resto.

I'm WAY ahead of myself, because we aren't even to this point yet, but was wondering about this on my hour drive home from work (I'm a forward thinker!). '73 Duster is the project. Let's assume the fenders, doors, hood and trunk are off and all body work has been completed. Let me sidetrack...

Most of you here have owned one at one point in your life (and may still have it). That unwanted 70's car that no one wants. Here is mine. 1973 Olds Cutlass Supreme, 32K original miles. Yes, I still have it.

I can't find these on rockauto. Anyone know where I can get them? The rubber boots or bellows that are on the torsion bars? They are on the crossmember end of the torsion bar.

(This is about my 15 year olds Duster Project.) I've listened to my engine builder about his ideas. Now I want ideas from you die hard Mopar guys that are living and breathing in your own real life Mopar world and have been where we are now. I would like to give you as many of the particulars...

THE EARTH HAS SKIPPED A BEAT IN IT'S ROTATION! My 15 year old has FINALLY narrowed it down to 3 color choices for his '73 Duster! And just in time! We are dropping the K Member this weekend for the suspension rebuild and final clean up of the engine bay for prep and paint. We all say that girls...

We are dropping the K Member on my sons project car this weekend in preparation for the suspension rebuild. He's going to sand blast it to get the 37 years of road grime off of it. For those of you that have done this before is there a specific paint we should use for this application? One that...

Anyone remember not to long ago the guy that fabbed that way cool air cleaner. It had the square aluminum bottom with the 4bbl air cleaner attatched to it. Pics please!

I really dig the blacked out hood look on the 70's Duster, but it's obvious that there are several variations out there as to how this is done. #1 Black out most of the hood (with whatever combination of scoop) all the way back to the windshield, but the outer left and right sides of the hood...
