My comment is limited in scope. I am only referencing the Dodge Hemi/Poly group, particularly the 315-325 c.i. based on my personal experience working on them. I have not cross referenced my observation against any other established reference source yet but am attempting to do so now. I have a...

This must be a mistake, possibly the numbers were switched. The sheer size difference and complexity between the single and double rocker shaft engines can be discerned at a glance. Dodge 241-325 Poly 645 ?? Dodge 315-325 Hemi 610 ??

Thank you for the enlightenment. Wish I knew about this when I had the chance to pick up a nice 1965 Freightliner, although I was cautioned that, "It'll shake all of yer' fillings out!"

The Char-n-Peel is the Old Timey method to prep a squirrel for authentic Thai Squirrel salad.

The 60 Fords exceeded the maximum width allowed for passenger cars established by the DOT I believe. I think FoMoCo blew it by a couple of inches. Something to do with width limits on many old highway bridges in existence at the time before the great standardization imposed by the new Interstate...

Thank you for the clarification. I had forgotten about Auto Body Specialties although they don't have a huge selection of early A stuff either. I'm probably hoping to find another Layson's. We are fortunate to have even one Laysons. There couldn't be another person crazy enough to want to make a...

I was glumly surfing through the Auto Metal Direct online catalogue searching in vain for anything they might make for 1965 Darts when I came upon this reproduction floor pan that they offer...

Also remember that insurance companies build in some contingency. They are prepared to make adjustments upward for the possibility of additional discovery of damage, fluctuations in parts prices especially when they have no choice but to use used parts

Not quite. this section refers to vehicles that have never been registered in California namely by a new or non resident of the state. The only stipulation of mandatory inspection by the CHP is this: If a New York Salvage Certificate is accepted as proof of ownership, the vehicle must be...

California attempts to exert some control through the verification process. If you have assembled a collection of scraps and garbage into a vehicle shaped tetanus outbreak with conflicting vin numbers stamped where you can't see they probably won't issue a salvage title. I've heard of it...

I bought it in 2015. AFAIK there hasn't been much change in the process since then. This was the last vehicle I bought from a junk yard but I've considered doing it a couple of times since and saw nothing that gave me pause. Or flippers, or tentacles or a large muscular foot like an abalone. And...

Long time Californian with a salvage title 93 Chevy K-1500 Silverado here. In my experience a salvage title, at least in the Golden State, is no sweat. I've bought several cars and a truck from junkyards. My Silverado, very clean with 125k miles, had been donated to a charitable organization and...

Recommended vendors?

My favorite and one of the last around here closed at the beginning of the pandemic. They are fading away.

A new top for my Dart

I suggest that most if not all of these fascinating items be scanned into high quality PDF files and made available electronically to all of us on this site.

This is good news. Thanks

The Acalanes Dons. I was a Del Valle Trojan class of 76. It was much less built up when I arrived in 1970. Lots of girls I knew had horses. It's much more hemmed in now. Pretty sure the quarter panel was stolen by a metal thief. My BBQ grill, Arien roto tiller and a nice road bike all went...

It is very much the same boring affluent suburb that it has always been crawling with aspirational real estate agents. Folks have the same insane obsession with property values and the quality of the schools. Very much a bunch of NIMBYs. Nice weather, folks are generally nice and quality of...

I have CSAA for automobile and home owners insurance

For the purpose of settling my insurance claim I need a valuation for this full 1/4 panel from a 1965 Barracuda that was stolen from my property last September 2022. This was a rust-free, damage free full 1/4th of the car cut down the center-line and included the trunk floor and 1/2 the spare...

Not far from Victorville.

Oh yes, he is on a mission. I enjoy his product reviews. So far I have had my best results using Essential Peppermint oil. Use the concentrated extract available in health food stores. Avoid the commonly found diluted and weak "Peppermint Oil" commonly sold on line by aromatherapists...

You have to respect the original Detroit engineers who got everything to fit together when these cars were manufactured. It's an underrated skill. Thanks for the tip on the stainless line.

Roger that.

Thank you. Great exhaust note and it sounds like an easy to live with combination for everyday street use.

It's a nice looking installation and I wanted to know if these fit early a-bodies like my 65 Barracuda. Your 273 was a 2 barrel 8.5:1 compression ratio version at about 185 HP stock? You added the 340 cam, 4 barrel and the headers and you estimate about 220 HP now. Pretty good. No increase in...

Is there any data about performance improvement? Airflow? Top speed? Dyno testing?

Here is the Wegge Dodge license plate frame on my 65 Dart Gt convertible. Sorry it took so long. Let me know if you need higher quality.

This is excellent information. Thank you for putting it up.
