    Coming out... I like Mustangs

    Sorry I had to! Haha. I've owned a 1989 Mustang GT and it was a fun little car, I've got nothing against mustangs... They stayed true with the V8 RWD platform thru all the years. I wouldn't mind a 68 fastback one day. Neat story!

    The Dart Swinger makes the list!

    Did the link work? It doesn't direct me to the page for some reason.. Here is what it says. (With a picture of someone's 1970 sublime green Swinger beside this writeup) To finish with is the Dodge Dart Swinger. The name speaks for itself, really. The name either suggests something with...

    Blaaaaaaaaaaah

    I know the feeling... Last winter when I bought the Swinger I didn't have a heated garage, and it was the longest 6 months waiting for the crap to melt. Alberta has two seasons.. Winter and August. This year I made it top priority to insulate and heat the garage. If you're ever up this...

    Buying a 2013 RAM??....thoughts please...

    I bought a 2011 Dodge Ram 4x4 1500 Sport new and haven't had a single issue and love it. I opted for the quad cab because I wanted the 6'4" box. It gets great gas mileage with the MDS too, it averages 10L per 100km's on the highway. I bought a used ranger before this (it was two years old with...

    was gonna sell my partially finished shelby

    The rockers were gone and the floors were soft in the front, same as the lower quarters. It was definitly repairable tho! My Swinger is worse and im fixing it, but it has the advantage of all the sheetmetal available for it. Nobody makes replacement parts for these cars, but there are still a...

    was gonna sell my partially finished shelby

    Thanks! Yeah it was a dumb move on my part.. The guy I traded with still has it and never plans on parting with it. Here is another rare one... A 1990 Daytona Shelby VNT in the same colour (last year for this colour on the Daytona) I never did anything with it and sold it (1 of 536 VNT cars) it...

    was gonna sell my partially finished shelby

    They're cool cars! I had an 89 Daytona Shelby T-tops that I traded a few years ago... I regret it!! Mine was the same colour as yours (Daytona blue) and its a beautiful colour! Mine was one of 42 made because it had no A/C (had dealer installed A/C) I traded it for a 1989 mustang gt 5.0L... I...

    The car that started it all?

    Here is the car that started it all for me. My Dads 1970 Swinger 340 (EV2 auto car) I remember being 5-6yrs old and going everywhere in it. My Mom drive it all the time too. My dad bought it in the late 80's and had it till the mid 90's. He restored it and eventually had to sell it (still on the...

(Doing it for over 35yrs) He owned his own buiseness for 20yrs doing restos and working for the insurance company and while I was growing up I was with him all the time working on cars and he tought me so much...

    hey Kegan

    The 2.2L and 2.5L was in almost every FWD that Chrysler made from 1981 to the mid 90's (k platform) and almost every car and minivan had interchangeable parts, even some Dakotas had a RWD 2.5L setup. They were a very simple and bulletproof motor. They started off as a carbureted motor (like what...

    hey Kegan

    I think they're cool little cars err trucks and have lots of potential! I had one when I was 16 and restored it and did a turbo intercooled/5 speed swap and it was really fast! Who says you can't polish a turd!

    Red Loc Tite

    How old is your bottle of loc-tite? It does go bad, especially if its over a few years old. The newer bottles usually have a one year expiry. (The older bottles don't have an expiry date) but I found if the bottle gets sticky or the label falls off its usually gone bad (becomes really watery and...

    Garage clean up

    I'm in the process of cleaning and setting up my shop and I think I have OCD! I really can't wait to tear into my Swinger, but I don't even wanna touch it and move it into the new shop until I have it all setup. I already have two bedrooms full of new parts ,haha. With all the sheetmetal I have...

    which atv?? I decided!

    I bought a Polaris Sportsman 500EFI brand new in '08 and pretty much all i've ever used it for is plowing our driveway (huge driveway) and i've never once replaced a belt, so i beg to differ on Polaris's burning up belts. Up here we got lots of snow too, it will push heavy snow over the plow no...

    Shelby thread

    Thanks! That Daytona Blue is one of the nicest colours! it changed colour from blue to purple in different light. My Dad sprayed the car and i felt bad after, since it took a gallon and a half to cover the sealer because it was so transparent from all the pearls and metallics. i think it took 7+...

    Here's my 89 Shelby... I miss this car! I spent two years rebuilding it and it was a junkyard save. Before. After. Here's some other ones I had (the rampage was made from a Shelby charger) and the red one is a clone Shelby car... I made a custom hood for it and did the bodywork and...
