    Hood Pops up at the cowl

    I had this happen with mine simply because I did not tighten the bolts down enough.

    Block hugger headers

    I went with the Hedman 78500 and they seem to work alright. I kind of wish I had gone with a full long tube like Doug's. I know I'm losing a lot of power with the tight tubes... That being said, the Hedman's were easy to slip in to install, but I did have to grind off a bit on the engine...

    Hydro dipping?

    You don't want the paint to sink when poured in... It has to be thinned or already thin enough that when you pour it in it spreads on the surface of the water creating a thin film. When you dip the part it is only going through this thin film of paint which wraps around the part. This is how...

    I need help buying a Cummins.

    If you go by cost to repair or upgrade, here are a couple things on these trucks to think over. The 1996 - 1998 12 valves are great trucks - performance injectors are fairly cheap and the P7100 injection pump is one of the best pumps ever made for output and upgrade but can be VERY pricey to do...

    Has anyone successfully used the USCartool A500 Crossmember?

    I know I saw another member doing the fab work for just this thing. It looks like you need to just cut off more material because I remember his cuts near those inner eyelets were almost vertical. I'll try to find the thread with the photos. Ah, ok, I found it here: US Car Tool A518 Cross...

    67 Cuda Notchback Hell Cat Swap

    I'm a little torn on this one. Part of me is saying ~ hell yes drop a Hellcat in a 67 Barracuda! And then the other voice is saying ~ but look at that beautiful car the way it already is! Not to say I'm not doing horrible, horrible things with my car, but it's just a 73 beaker... Either way...

    How Do You All Paint Wood When the Nail Heads Are Rusting?

    Use some rustoleum rust reformer spray on the nail heads and then paint the whole thing with a fence/barn paint. You will not stop rust from coming through but the reformer will stop it a lot longer than not using it. The fence & barn paint is meant for outdoor use and is pretty tough stuff...

    A word of advice. Don't cross the streams, it would be ... bad.

    Pet peeve when looking through sale ads

    This right here is a perfect example for me: Corvette Corvette - $12341234 (geiger area) make me an offer, be reasonable as I won't entertain low ball offers.

    Know I'll get blow back

    There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's car preferences ... and Corvette owners. heh, really though, that looks like it would be a fun ride!

    Terrible!

    This made me think of another recent freak accident. Like you're saying, you never know what may happen. Man May Have Been Crushed to Death by His Jeep During Earthquake: He Was 'Working on the Vehicle' One of my worst fears also

    Pet peeve when looking through sale ads

    "Frame Off Restoration!" on any kind of uni-body vehicle :thumbsup: Also "Super Rare!" or "Barn Find!" - a cars rarity typically speaks for itself, and super rare doesn't always equate to super expensive. Just because it's dusty doesn't make it a barn find.

    Pet peeve when looking through sale ads

    Anyone that puts the price as $1 and either buries the actual asking price deep in the text or ends with "Make me an offer, but no low-ballers". If you don't know how much to ask for your vehicle you shouldn't be selling it... Also adding people that say "Low Miles!" and don't give an actual...

    Another tossed Kitty Cat

    You're a good person! It's good to read something like this, to know there are others out there that aren't like most people I deal with on a daily basis... I got two kittens from a neighbor I lived next to in a duplex in 2005. They had 7 altogether and the mother had taken off after they...

    LED backlight install?

    You do it the same way but they do make LED's that you don't have to worry about the polarity like he goes on about. Just plug in and make sure they have a good connection to light. Many of the bulbs in my display were T10 / 194 size bulbs and replaced with...

    Intro to the group

    Looks in great shape! Notchback Barracuda's always look so good in B5 blue and it's almost a shame to not run rallye wheels on them. Such a nice combo. Please post some more photos from inside and out if you get time and welcome to the FABO board.

    Magnum crank and 4 speed

    The 5.9 I got from a 2001 Durango was an auto. The crank on it looked like it had been drilled but did not have the depth or width to put the correct size bushing in. When I took the block in to have it bored over and align honed, I also took the crank and had them drill it out. The shop said...

    Simple inexpensive LED lighting for 71-73 Darts

    4.6 x 2.5 x 0.4 inches I love stuff like this. Good find. Oh, also just saw that they are available in white so maybe work well for backup lights as well?

    How to remove PS box

    No worries. I wasn't trying to start anything. Just didn't want him thinking he had to rebuild the coupler to take out the steering column. I ended up not seeing the later posts that cleared that up before posting my own anyway, so my bad.

    How to remove PS box

    I guess I don't understand why folks are showing you how to disassemble the coupler when all you want to do is take the whole column out... the coupler stays attached to the steering column. Once you have the coupler roll-pin out you just use a good sized pry-bar to gently work the coupler up...
