    73 Duster / Gasser / Oiler...

    Anyone ever straight axel a Duster? I'm kicking this around. Why you might ask? I say why not? So the subject indicates "Gasser" / "Oiler", hmmmm. I could go either way. But I think it would be most odd if I made an "oiler". Once again, why? Well I think it'll cost a heck of a lot less to make...

    The Paddock Inc. Gone - any others out there?

    I'm super bummed. My project is a super slow process and last January (2010) I got started clearing the car off, then picked up a Dodge/Plymouth Paddock catalog and folded over many pages of things needed. Well just this weekend I came across the catalog again, after thumbing through it and...

    Where can I find one of these

    I was at a local car show this week and saw this handle. The last time I saw one of these was about 20+ years ago in a GTO Judge. I've been looking ever since and haven't seen one anywhere; in a speed shop, other car, or in any magazine. Any idea what it is, who made it, where I can find...
