Rick's writing style was funny. I patterned my own based on how he told stories through captions and pictures. I have many project threads at FBBO in the same theme as how he wrote.

No, sir....you are absolutely wrong there. Mopar Muscle embraced the GYC jerkoffs....featuring monthly segments on the show and what was going on at their shop. Mopar Action was legit.

Scamp? You're close. The Scamp was a 2 door model with the Dart 111" wheelbase. The brown car I posted was a standard Valiant. I was passing through Fair Oaks/Citrus Heights and at the intersection of Madison and Van Maren.

I’m honest enough to admit that I don’t know everything so help me out here. It seems that whenever I go to another town for a visit or vacation, the locals seem to be friendly. I am Not the world traveler that many of you are, I’ve never been out of the country. I’ve been to Georgia, Florida...

I saw this today in the Sacramento area.

This is an easy one: Those can be used to lift or lower a vehicle with leaf springs by placing the aluminum block/spacer between the spring and the axle housing. Because they move the axle further away from the spring, you need the longer U-Bolts.

That is a punch to the gut. You stumble upon the car that you used to like in a place you hoped it wouldn't be. Sort of like seeing an old girlfriend at the strip bar dancing for rent money.

Oh man, that is tragic. Sorry, man.

Ha! Yeah....The things we did THEN, versus what we do now! The car was originally a Gold color: That was the mid 90s before I jumped back into Mopars with both feet and learned the correct ways to restore them. I still have much to learn but I don't do that anymore!

Uhhh....

Yeah, he does look thinner there. Thanks. That is the one that I saw.

I saw a video a few minutes back that was listed as being posted 12 hours ago. I hope that he IS back. He did make a video from inside a building as if it were from a room or hospital bed. I'd imagine being bedridden awhile, he probably lost some weight and muscle so he might appear different...

Wow, you WERE lucky. It sucks to lose a cool car.

I’ve parted out several cars but I’m only aware of a scant few that absolutely went to the junkyard not long after I sold it. A 73 Camaro of mine was towed after a person crossed in front of me and I broadsided him. My 2006 was totaled after I was hit in the side. It was too far gone to fix at a...

My mom sold a 79 Camaro Z28 when dad bought her a used 82 Trans Am. I wanted that Camaro but couldn’t afford what it was worth then. I saw it a few years later all dirty and neglected on some dudes side yard. I told him that was my mothers car. He said “ Yeah?” I said ….”Thst used to be a...

Holeee smokes! What the heck happened here??

Seeing your beloved car rot away over time would be sad too.

Ha.... My very first one did, a '69 Dart 318 I had for a little over a year in 82-83. I sold it to buy a Dart Sport. About a year after I sold it, I saw it at a local U-Pull-It junkyard. It was a sad moment for me. It wasn't even wrecked, they must have encountered something mechanical they...

Some swollen rodent emerges from a fake tree and a group of dorks celebrate what the stinky thing supposedly sees. No matter what, Spring officially begins around March 21st EVERY year. If you want to go along with this whole schmere, go ahead. I love stupid and silly things but this really...

That car was a hodge-podge.... It started out a 318-904-7 1/4 axle with rubber floor mats... I used it for a video movie that I made in 1998-99. It had a Dukes of Hazzard theme... I had a fake roll bar made from 2" ABS plumbing.... Through the window you can see it's sister, the stunt...

Ha... I didn't care if women or my buddies liked the cars that I owned. IF they did, that was nice but it sure wasn't why I picked them.

I did read those articles. The name for the car sort of seemed weird though. A "Valiant Effort" is associated with a failure despite one's best attempts at success.

I have a couple of car buddies that bought houses with NO garage, I suspect it was because they knew I was a Carpenter that would be asked to rescue them. I can't help but find it pathetic to see a car guy intentionally buy a place without having adequate working space, even a single car garage...

The car I parted out was a 74. Those have 3 point seat belts where the shoulder belt stays attached to the lap belt. Nothing attaches to the headliner.

Thank you. I figured that they might be for the interior or the underside of the hood.

Last summer I parted out a 74 Duster and these things may have come from that car.

Today I stumbled upon a small stash of UNused oil in bottles that had no date code on them but did have the SAE API circle with ratings of SD and SF. I thought that I was told that the higher in the alphabet the second letter was, the higher the detergent level. In short, an oil like this...

Yeah....that is clear.
