    from bench to buckets

    Used procar seats and brackets from summit. While I had the seats out I decided to clean up the metal and lay down some kilmat and put in new carpet. The killmat took more time than adding the seats. I didn't take pics of the metal plates that were used to reinforce the bolt holes but they're...

    fit aftermarket shifter into stock console?

    My car originally has the bench seat, I'm in the process of putting in buckets (floor will be reinforced for it). What I'd like to do is put in a factory looking center console and find a way to fit in my b&m shifter so it looks at least somewhat like it came factory. I was initially planning to...

    Overheating issues

    I have a 440 with a 26" aluminum radiator plus a 2L overflow expansion. It does have a fan shroud (thanks to whoever I bought that from last year on the forum) and a flex fan. Car overheats even just idling when its only 60 degrees outside. After just a few short miles it'll easily reach 200+...

    Custom door panels

    Curious if anyone has made their own custom door panels before and if so could share photos. I'm kind of just toying with the idea for now, seeing what others may have done.

    Mercedes to charge subscription for more power

    For $1200, mercedes will allow you to unlock the performance of your vehicle, roughly 20% boost. This is no mod, it's merely to unlock performance that is in the car when you bought it that they purposely disabled. Just one more reason I don't ever want to buy a mercedes. Mercedes is charging...

    Insufficient privileges to access news and politics board

    My profile settings have a check next to join Political Forum Access. And the board shows me 1 thread, which I created last year. So I clearly had access at some point, yet I cannot view my thread nor see any others.

    1970 Challenger restomod NOT MINE

    It's not mine but I came across this and felt it worth sharing. If you're not a stickler about originality, seems like a reasonable price for a potentially awesome car. I considered it myself but I'm too wrapped up restoring another car at the moment. For Sale: 1970 Dodge Challenger in...

    Issue with lower rad hose rubbing on suspension

    I have a 440 with a 26" radiator and the lower hose rubs on the end of the bar (see pic). Years back, I wrapped that section of hose with fiberfix (to protect the hose, not patch a hole) and kinda forgot about it until now. Looks like it's worn through that now. Has anyone else run into this...

    [FOR SALE] '74 Space Duster - $6500

    Came across this on FB just now. It is not my listing nor do I know the guy, but thought I'd share it. It's a project car but looks to have a good start.

    Recommended fuel pump?

    Turns out there's a lot more options out there to choose from than I thought, ranging anywhere from $25 up to $200! I have a mildly built 440. Is it best to just stick to mechanical? I think my line is 3/8 but I'll have to double check.

    spelab electric cutouts

    This popped up on my FB wall today. I've never heard of them, wondering if anyone else has or has used them? Price isn't bad, though they are more expensive than the bandlanz I currently have. SPELAB 2.0/2.25/2.5/3 Inch Dual Electric Exhaust Cutout Valve Remote Switch

    Doesn't appear to be getting fuel

    About 3 weeks ago, I drove my '73 duster with no issues. The following weekend I got a few blocks and the car cut out. I had to pump the gas many times before attempting to start to get it running but it would cut out almost immediately once in gear. I can idle fine and it revs up smoothly if...

    The electric motor rambler

    Long story short, I just purchased a new house and the majority previous owner's stuff was left behind. Sorting through the stack of reading materials in the bathroom, I came across several electric vehicle magazines from the 70s and a technical report on an AMC Rambler fitted with an electric...

    Let's see your custom fabrications

    I haven't done anything major myself, just a simple package tray. Just curious to see what others have made. Did you make your own hood scoop or custom grill? Homemade dash? Something different that's not a factory restored component. Interested to see what creative minds we have out there.

    Engine still not right after timing set

    I'm not the expert, so bear with me. '73 Duster with a '78 (i believe) 440. Quickfuel 750 (vacuum secondaries if I remember correctly) electronic choke. The timing was off, that was apparent. Bolt on the distributor came loose one day. I've had two people help me try to set the timing but it...

    idle too high, makes undriveable

    Finally got some time to figure out where the gas was leaking with the new carb, it was the new dual feed fuel line. It's a quick fuel 750 with electric choke. The carb's instructions say the fast idle speed should be around 1600rpm, which it is. But as the car warms up, it gets faster and...

    fuel injected 361?

    I came across a Dodge custom 880 online with a 361. Not really knowing anything about that engine I looked it up online. Over 300hp and (1958 only) fuel injected? Why didn't they continue with the fuel injection back then?

    Too cold to start car

    I'm guessing most of us don't drive our cars much during the winter months, but occasionally I like to take mine out on a sunny day even if it's only 25 outside. Problem is, I just can't get my car to start when it's this cold. I tried for 20min yesterday before killing the battery and my jump...

    About a month ago, just before the mopar nats, my driver front rim started scraping my caliper. It was bent and twisted, shop said they can't fix the weld racing wheels due to how they're constructed. Bought a new rim from jegs, drove around a few blocks and it's been parked for the past few...

    Aftermarket gauges, brand choices?

    Awhile back I considered replacing all my dash gauges and most sets I saw from manufactures were around $1k or more for 6 gauges and sending units. Then I came across a company that had a beautiful set, included everything, for about $500. Problem is, I can't remember who made them and I haven't...
