    How much weight can you shave off of an A-Body...and still have it look/drive like an A-Body?

    I know a stroker B engine with aluminum heads, intake, water pump, and headers can weigh almost 100 pounds lighter than a small block. I have always thought that the first fiberglass parts to put on were the front and rear bumper. I know steel bumpers weight alot. I just wonder exactly how...

    Shift kit. Also, I just put one of the summit "welded" turbo mufflers on my Durango. Straight through design, sounds pretty cool.

    Painting bolt heads

    Ill throw my hair brained idea out there. I was thinking of rust blue. Check out rust blue for firearms. Even if they are blued, they can be painted over, and the chips wont look so bad. Rust blue looks just like a phosphate finish. This is what I used for a couple of rifles, and...

    Not a A-body,,,but an extremely rare mopar (* forest find !!!)

    Boy have I seen that happen before. If anything you could find a good roller and make a clone with all the hard to find stuff (I assume its hard to find) off the GTX. I (along with alot of others) have been watching a 340 auto E body cuda rot away near my house for YEARS. Several people have...

    David Vizards Books

    Regarding the holley book, I thought some of the info was good, at least the basics. Some of it seemed a little far fetched. Alot of dyno talk. I'm all for the dyno, but have heard too much about how the dyno and the street are two different animals. I went to look for smokeys book at the...

    Million dollare drone!

    She'll ride in the back. Trust me on this. Take all the seats out, except for the driver. No noisy wife, no noisy nobody. Also a good excuse for "can I get a lift?" Oh yea, you'll go faster also. And you can haul more parts that your wife keeps ragging you about.

    David Vizards Books

    I have his holley carb book, Porting heads book, and how to build horsepower book. His books seem to be very good, and make some sense. But I just wanted to ask if these books are "Good Books" or are they gonna lead me down the wrong path. I have read a few books over the years that...

    24v turbo v6 stealth engine and tranny

    Its not often you come across the turbo engines at a good price. At least not around here. Mileage is a major factor IMO. Turbos are an item that wears out and is expensive to repair compared to other things. That being said, if I could get a complete turbo drivetrain out of a stealth for...

    Best older Dodge pickup for daily use?

    My dad took a 1/2 ton extended cab long bed TBI truck and installed a 360/727 combo. He took a rotted out camper 9000 trucks one ton suspension and installed it under the 1/2 ton. You could take a 3/4 ton front suspension out of a D series pickup, and the axle and leafs out of a RAM 2500...

    Red Letter T/A Radials

    Personally, I think the slash in the TA red with everything else white would be worth trying before giving up totally.

    scoop for dart sport

    Personally I dont like the dual snorkles, would rather have no scoop at all. Just so you can see it, my car in this thread thats in the rain has what I think is a max wedge scoop. I think it looks good. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=238052

    Pics of my project I have been irritating everybody about.

    Ill tell ya, If I could throw a clear coat that could be removed later for a real finish, I would just go with that look in the pic. Its only got a little surface rust, and I could put something on that to stop it.

    Pics of my project I have been irritating everybody about.

    LOL, Fortunatly that spot is actually part of a runoff and it dries quick. Anybody from Louisiana can attest to the rainstorms around her and how the ground reacts to it. One minute dry as a bone, next minute hip waders!

    Pics of my project I have been irritating everybody about.

    I am just removing the drivetrain there. Once the car is running it will be in my driveway to work on. I am also going to work on the drivetrain in the driveway. I am considering black, but until I figure out if the body is going to take ungodly amounts of work to get it straight, I am going...

    Pics of my project I have been irritating everybody about.

    Well, here it is! Aint she a beaut! The car is at my farm, so I have to pull the engine/tranny/Kframe to work on it at home. Gonna get everything up to par at once and then put it back in. I already have most of the parts I want to use so I am hoping it wont take too long to get it back on...

    poll; body color under car or chassis black?

    If I ever get in this situtation I amgoing to go body color. I plan on a white car so white underbody. My reason is that lighter colors reflect light, and working under a car that will reflect a drop light makes it a little easier to see.

    buying cars over long distances question

    Renting the uhall sounds like a good idea. Had forgot about that. That was one of the reasons I was looking at shipping. Our trailer is about shot. I guess it is just a nature of the beast. I have done it a couple of times myself, I was just wondering if there was an easier way. Thanks
