    Just started a YouTube channel

    Just watched and subscribed. I started my channel in July of last year and it has been a learning experience for sure. I like your style and you do sound good. The one thing I constantly get remarks about is sound and sound quality. I learned the hard way, people don’t like music playing all the...

    Every now and then, there is still a deal to be had.

    Hello everyone. Sorry for the delay in the update. I was working MATS. The grandkids are fairly young, and I think just got bored. I honestly broke all the windows out of a car when I was young as well. Sucks, but happens. Good news is, I did get the window sticker and I also found a very nice...

    Every now and then, there is still a deal to be had.

    First off, its been a while since I have been on FABO. A ton of things have changed in my life since my last post. But those are all stories for other days. This post is to show that every now and then, you can still find a deal. I just recently was given a lead to a 69 340 Swinger that was...

    “NOT FOR SALE. I’ll get to it one day” who else has cars like this?

    Who else has cars sitting there rotting away that they will get to one day? Here’s my TB3 72 Demon 340 3spd rotting over 2000 miles from home. I’m going to get it in June, but then it will continue to sit as I have other irons in the fire. At least it will be inside once I get it home.

    Been a really long time. Here’s what I have been up to

    Hello everyone. It’s been a long time since I have been active here. I’m hoping some of the ‘old timers’ remember me. I now live way up in the Rockies in Colorado, and am still playing with cars. These are my two current A-bodies that are worth mentioning. 1971 Duster Twister original EL5...

    Ants have invaded my car. Best way to get rid of them.

    I have had to store my car in my friends back yard for the last five weeks and I am getting ready to move it. I came over today and for some reason ants have turned the trunk into their home. There is no food in the car, I made sure it was clean before parking it, but they turned one box in...

    Don't take life to serious. Serious health scare and reality check

    Hey everyone. Been on the phone this morning with HR and whatnot and it seems they are going to help me as much as possible. I really like the company I work for and the benefits are really good. I have missed a bit of work this year being sick and spending time in the hospital and I understand...

    Don't take life to serious. Serious health scare and reality check

    This crazy life we live, where we are more worried about our jobs than our life. Recently, I was more worried about loosing my job than I was my health. I was sick and I knew it. I just wanted to wait till my weekend before going to see the Doctor as I had already missed a few days for being...

    D453s? Are those dougs headers? I was actually goin to ask what's better, dougs or TTI? And thanks for the compliments on me, it's been hard, but worth it.

    Monday's haven't been good for me. accident in the duster today

    Hey everyone. Been a while since I posted an in depth thread about anything, so figured I would check in. The last several Monday's have not been good to me and today was no different. Today I was driving down the road and hit a piece of concrete that has caused a lot of damage. Basically it's...

    Not a mopar, but how could you pass this up for $500

    Not sure what to do with it yet. Lots of my family members want it. I think it would actually be a lot of fun to drive.

    A reason that owners let their cars sit and rot

    While there may be some truth to that, there is still NO reason to bully the owner.

    A reason that owners let their cars sit and rot

    The reason people would rather let a car sit and rot vs sell I have sold hundreds of muscle cars over the last 15 years and really enjoyed doing so up until the last few years. I have noticed, and I am sure a lot of other people have as well that over the last five or so years, potential...

    Need advice from Step Fathers/Fathers please

    I guess a little background. The oldest has never met his Dad. As soon as he found out that his mom was pregnant, he left and doesn't want anything to do with them. The youngests Dad was there for a little bit, but was a drinker and became very abusive and about smothered him to death when he...

    Need advice from Step Fathers/Fathers please

    Cracked, I am glad they arent teens as well. And I am glad that their Mom wants me to be their Dad. Sometimes the kids already call me Dad which I had mixed feelings about at first, but am okay with it now.

    Need advice from Step Fathers/Fathers please

    Thanks for the advice. Its going to be a challenge I know, and her and I are already on the same page for the most part. She has told me to help discipline them and gives me some advice, I just have a hard time because I am a softy I guess. I am doing better, but still need advice of others that...

    2000+ mile road trip in the Duster, going to be heading up I-84 on Monday

    I haven't been taking as many photos as I had hoped to, but here are a few. As for the gear ratio, I think it's 2:73, but not sure. I did install the tach finely and at 80mph it's only turning 3100rpm. Sure seemed like I was wrapping it up with the loud exhaust though. I was...

    2000+ mile road trip in the Duster, going to be heading up I-84 on Monday

    The best I have got, has been 15.8 mpg and the worst is 12.2. The car is set up for about 200 feet above sea level and the first legs of the trip were the best milage. Now it's a pig and getting more around the 12 mpg. This is the first time I have ever ran a holley, and I did rebuild it myself...

    And yes, it is a 74. I wish it was a 73 so that it had the smaller rear bumper. But I will change that at some point. The gauges are cool in white. They look really nice. The whole car is a really nice driver. It needs paint and a few things, but over all is great.

    2000+ mile road trip in the Duster, going to be heading up I-84 on Monday

    Glad I could share. I am hoping to make a few stops on the way back. I was thinking about going down hwy 50 in Nevada and get some photos of the shoe tree, but some *** hats decided to cut it down. I don't understand why vandals fell the need to ruin things that bring others so much enjoyment...
