I do too. I looked at the big shop he was in and this new one. Hardly any tools, hardly any parts. I'm a retired Carpenter that works on cars as a hobby and I have 3 times the tools and parts in my shop. He comes across as a guy that wants to look like a car guy. I didn't see a MIG welder, no...

That guy.... Does anyone ever remember reading his magazine articles? The dude went off on rants that were totally unrelated to the car that was being featured. Paragraph after paragraph of this guy ignoring the car and instead blabbing about everything else. He is like that neighbor that has a...

It is changing from Ford vs Chevy vs Mopar to….. US against electric.

You could get the 8 3/4 in later models if you had the HD towing option group. It also came with a bigger radiator, fan shroud and in some cases, front disc brakes.

My 2007 truck was near the end of what they called DODGE trucks. It isn’t a RAM, It is a Dodge Ram 1500. Small detail but my old fashioned ways have me calling it a half ton, not a 1500. I know… one should adapt or fade away but I’m still holding on to what I like. I’ve wondered if I have had...

Yes, Miles because America.... At this point, you'd expect to have replaced a few odds and ends. I have. Water pump, starter, EGR valve, thermostat, serpentine belt, valve cover gasket, injectors were cleaned, two coil packs, one radiator, two A/C condensers, fuel pump, two oxygen sensors, an in...

Mine...

I look at many things literally too. When someone says they have to TAKE a piss, it makes me laugh. Stolen pisses???

See? That is funny. It isn’t true but is funny.

How about this one?

I agree. Look at the crappy stack up of pieces just to mount it to the axle housing....then to the right, the thin and flimsy manner or mounting it to the frame rails.

Uhhh.....

It still makes me make faces like these: Again, if we had no other way to power our cars and IF the only way to keep a beautiful classic mobile, I'd have to agree.... Otherwise, forget it.

In this case, I find that whole idea pathetic. A dead silent engine doing a burnout? The ONLY time I could see any electric conversion as having any possible appeal is if OIL or any type of liquid fuel were to be completely unavailable. No sound? No rumble? No gears to shift? You might as...

Wow...One LESS excuse to put a CHEVY engine in one of these cars!

I applaud your open mindedness. Thanks for the response.

There are a lot of POLITE members here. In my opinion, the owner has the right to do whatever he wants. I'm still stuck on the mindset that THIS ISN'T CUBA. Doing stuff like this is completely UNNecessary in a country like this where the factory family parts are easy to find. Doing stuff "to be...

There are variables to consider. On the surface, I'd advise against the larger bar based on the assumption that all else being equal with both rear bars aside from the diameter, the larger bar will likely induce a strong OVERsteer condition. Great for drifting, terrible for regular street...

My information is that all frame rails are physically similar, front and rear. The front rails are 1 3/4" further apart from 1967-76. The rear rails from 63-67 will have a notch for the gas tank strap. 1968 and later cars used the fore/aft dual straps for the gas tank.

I don't understand this gibberish. ^^^ Early A body styling often seems to be a love it or hate it thing, at least from what I have seen. The 60-62 Valiants and Lancers were really weird. The 63-66 cars look better but in my opinion, the A body line really took off in 1967. Some guys like...

I used to get curmudgeons on Moparts arguing that NO 1976 A body had 4 wheel drum brakes. Jerkoffs....

4 wheel 9" drums were standard. Discs were optional. ALL disc-drum 73-76 A body cars had the larger bolt pattern. ALL 4 wheel drum 73-76 A bodies were small bolt pattern.

I'm guessing that this is a question...? The housings are angled to match the angle of the mounting surface of the quarter panel and trunklid. Short answer....No. If the mounting holes even lined up, the lens would angle the wrong way.

I have a trunk lid from an early Valiant that is otherwise worthless.....Call me, If it has the same style nut plate in it, I'll mail it to you.

I used some aerosol 3M adhesive. I did the headliner installation myself and had a thread here about it. It had wrinkles in it for awhile but they flattened out for the most part after the Summer came and went. I sold the car to a guy that sold it soon thereafter so I don't have any way to...

That was some jute pad with a flexible foil cover. I got it from Classic Industries.

This is the only picture I could find. As far as I can recall, the wire went over the LH window and down the A pillar.

I know a guy that bought a setup from what I call the Harbor Freight of front end kits....."Magnum Force". What he got was a bolt in crossmember with no motor mounts of any kind, a wider turning radius, less suspension travel and more vibration. But hey....He was able to fit headers on a 360...

Oh, no.....Don't go away. Think of all your fans that will be disappointed and go on to lead sad and miserable lives!
