My niece was looking for a car to buy during the CFC era and asked me to go along so we headed to the local "automile". For some reason, I pulled into a local boneyard. They had rows and rows of mostly large cars and pickups with CLUNKER painted on the windshields. What I temember most was a...

Quickest would be snap in plugs available at hardware stores. Plastic or shiny plated metal. You could seal them with a dab of silicone. I was just looking at the bed of my Comanche yesterday. I believe it was a work truck when new and there are multiple 1/2" holes filled with deteriorating...

Old guys rule! :thumbsup:

When the movie first came out I saw a trailer only one time on live TV. Hey wait a minute! I instantly recognized the Barracuda C-pillar interior light beyond Pesci's head. I made a mental note and rented it when it hit the video store. Later I bought the DVD. I tracked the actual car down to...

Hope it's a 4 speed! Make sure you have 8-10* caster with that axle.

Wow! Had to be terrible standing there watching it burn like that. Old carburetor and wiring can be Russian Roulette. But there's a lesson to be learned. A couple years ago I started my /6 and gas started to pour out of the BBS vent right onto the exhaust manifold. Luckily I spotted it pretty...

Both of my 69 340 cars had the front washer on the front of the K. Also the UCA's had an extra reinforcing ring around the pivot points. I don't think those were used on the common cars.

This has been in the back of my mind too as I want to do another cross country trip in my 68 Barracuda. One advantage is I'll probably camp, sleep in my car, or stay with friends more than 50% of the time. I read the Hagerty brochure and there are some good ideas there. I would recommend a car...

I got these for my 64 Valiant last summer, embroidered and color-matched. One weekend at Carlisle and they already started showing wear. A friend has them in her Barracuda and they look absolutely terrible. So when driving i cover mine with a carpet remnant and remove them when i get to a...

Gor a start, post it in the Lost and Found section on FABO.

Chrysler switched back to the Hurst shifter approx half way through the 68 model year. Remember they had used Inland shifters 1966-68. Anyone who has, or had, struggled with the Inland JUNK will understand why. Jam City! Edit: 64-65 shifters were also Hurst-sourced. The order was hurriedly...

I recently worked as an engineering contractor for NASA. We used a lot of aluminum to make stuff that flies on the International Space Station but my main project was a propulsion control system for long range exploration. EVERY tapped hole in aluminum utilized thread inserts, no exceptions...

Congratulations! I remember seeing your videos a few years ago. Looked like you and your buddies were always having fun. The struggles you had to license it are almost unbelievable. Paint quality? Color? Ha! You should see the junk running around Ohio. Chrysler actually recommended the 340-4...

Advantage #16. A Stock G3 Hemi weighs approx 70 lbs less than a comparable stock small block. (not personally verified)

You might try going to shows nearby and talking to owners of nice Mopars. Some will be owner restored but others may have recommendations. Then go visit some of the shops. Of all the TV or YouTube shows I watch, shops like FantomWorks in VA stand out to me.

I'm fairly shy and attending car shows has brought me out of it, well, almost. I used to even be intimidated in the presence of an awesome Mopar. I attended the U.S Nationals from 1970-1975. Pro Stock started in 1970 and of course my hero was Ronnie Sox. Well, back then there were no fancy car...

Loudonville, Ohio a couple days ago.

Thanks for the awakening. The feature cars at 2020 Carlisle were TAs and AARs. I remember trying to count the number gathered, over 40. I talked to the head guy of Transamcuda.com who seemed to be in charge and told him I had an original 1970 6pack setup and would be interested in selling only...

Holy ****! You guys pay Yearly Personal Property taxes on classic cars? And your everday cars? My (3) 60s Mopars are pleasure cars. That would take some of the fun out of it. It costs less than $50 to get historic plates on a 25 year, or older car here. There are limitations on use. Not to be...

I'll probably install some kind of Bluetooth system in my 60s cars but in the meantime, I use a JBL Flip 5 Bluetooth speaker. It's red and matches my 64 red interior. I carry that thing all over the house and garage. Plenty of things for me to listen to on Tunein Radio. It also has a genuine...

That's pretty cool! My best friend has a collection of plates from every state (Not a car guy) and most are mounted on a basement wall. His step son just retired after 20 yrs in the military (5 deployments) and even got him plates from middle Eastern countries, Germany, England, those kind of...

True, but 69 fenders and quarters had recesses stamped into them. It's not just flat reflectors attached to a panel. They also fit into a "receptacle". Is it NHRA? How picky are they? 1972 and up style could work. Would they even notice back-up lights and different tail light styles?

I know we have members in the St. Louis area. Maybe post a "Help Wanted in St. Louis" with a picture. @Topless69 ?

This is how it's done. Many how to videos on YouTube. For about $600, BA Autosound can theft proof it.

Can you weld? You could drill out the spot welds and weld in a used part. Any a-body part 1967 and newer should be fine. Post in the wanted section. Same for the lower brace. Also, it may be possible to straighten the one on the car. Hammer and dolly. If the metal is creased/folded, heat would...

The OP might be better served selling the 68 Vette frame to a Chevy guy that needs it. There's plenty of rusted frames that need to be replaced. Then put the money towards building the Barracuda. If he insists on using a SBC in the cuda after that, he shouldn't be posting here. He only has 5...

And another thing...all the big Mopar shows I go to will not let you in. Usually there's a line that says the vehicles must be Mopar powered. It's like wearing a Let's Go Brandon T-shirt on a white house tour.

"New Palestine and Cumberland police spotted the vehicles going west on U.S. 40 and north on Mount Comfort Road, but the pursuit was terminated due to high speeds." To paraphrase a line from the second Vanishing Point movie: "It takes a Hellcat to catch a Hellcat!" I know nothing but I'd bet...

Back in about 1972-73, my buddy across the street from me bought a used 1969 Polara 2 door hardtop. Low mileage, medium brown , black vinyl roof and interior, real 440 Magnum(!), auto, super lite in grille, sure-grip, disc brakes. Man, what a road car! We drove it to the 1973 NHRA Nationals in...

The sound of the Mustang was obviously dubbed in. I read a couple yrs ago that it was a GT40 soundtrack. When the movie Bullitt was about 10 years old, one of the Mopar magazines interviewed the stunt drivers from the film and they said the Mustang was so slow they had to beef it up with...
