I've just finished doing this to an Aussie 1967 Dodge ute, similar body to US 63-67. Opened the plenum, repaired the rust and filled the floor vent openings. I'm running Vintage air so the area is now filled with Fuse box and relays on one side, all electronics for push button start, auto head...

One of the main influences was cost, in Australia classic’s are now a rich mans thing, Mopars are some of the few affordable classic cars available, although they are rising in value….first car I rode in, aged 2 years, was a 1929 Dodge, later Dad had a 54 Kingsway wagon, then a 1966 AP6...

what happened to the title of this thread Doc? I like the old one! Two new pussies to comeing in the next couple of weeks, will post when they arrive!

it's not a hijack! I wish my boss paid like that too!!!........I've worked for the same guy for twenty years, not many pay rises, only what the Government grants us....when he's of work for months due to health I get to run his bussiness for him, for just my basic wage.....no managers wage...

with houses starting at $350,000 for an old rough 3 bed room, and an average 3-4 bed at around $450,000 and good 4-5 bed room houses around $550,000 - $650,000 that's the rent they get! pleased my place is paid for!

I'm just trying to get a feel for your cost of living on an average wage compered to Aussie!

The Boss was having a ***** about paying “too much for wages” again last week! A member of his church was visiting from the US and was talking to him about how much less the wages are over there. He also claims you guys only get a few days per year paid leave. So it’s a great deal for...

pleased to see you guys think like I do about body coloured support panles....it's a shame that many top cars in OZ don't have it done! most people here not only use body colour but they make sure it's as glossy as the rest of the paint.......gross!

anybody seen this before?

(those wheels-tires have to go) Come on, get with it, lol I only got it yesturday!! lol But yes, the wheels are going once the front is changed to late disc's. The 16 x 8's with 225/45's from my current daily are going on.

Thanks Fingers, I'd thought about a 4 speed behind the slantie. Do you know what mods are needed or is obvious when you look at it?

I've just bought this 1967 Dodge ute with /6 and 3 speed manual. I may have the oportunity to buy a 273 2bbl and auto which was an option on these. We never got the Commando version here but they sound interesting. What would be needed to upgrade a 2bbl version to Commando spec's? Would that be...

At this stage I don't want to think he was tying to rip me off, more the guy is just careless with his stock, has so much he doesn't know were half of it is! He's too old school with his Banking and not up on modern systems. He gets 200+ emails a day and only answers some of them, including...

How not to get ripped off by a rogue trader! It has only been a matter of time before someone did the wrong thing by me as I’m on the opposite side of the world and many think I can’t do anything to a US trader. I deal with numerous traders and private sellers in the US and...

Currently 51, and like V-100 I to have age defying powers as most people take me for late 30's early 40's. The car seen keeps you you at heart! My first memory of a Chryler was my Fathers 1928 Dodge, I was 2 at the time. Grew up with a few other Mopars and have owned a few myself over the...

Hi Doc, I was helping another FABO member work on his car the other and we got to talking about your posts. WOW havn't you come a long way in 6 months!! Like we all said back then the more you do the better you will get, and you have got a lot better. Congratulations bud. Marty

The first of our cats is Mortimer or Mort as he normally gets called, his other names I can’t print here!! He’s a 14 year old Somali. Next to arrive was two of the three Balinese below, Poppy in the back with the dark face and Wolfgang in the middle, Red in the front came to...

I saw a plate DEALER at a car show once. Hope he worked in real estate or sold used cars!!

a couple more

Post your pictures of odd cars powered by a Viper V10. Nissan Patrol out of New Zealand

I'm fitting Vintage air to my 62 and will block off the vents. I was going to weld in a plate but it's a compond curve and I can't fabricate a steel panel so, as I've cut out the plenum chamber to fit the A/C, I'm going to tape over the vent on the inside with masking tape and make a mix of...

Monkey's the band? Was a Pontiac

It's not only Fabo members doing the wrong thing that need to be exposed in a thread like this. I had a large US supplier of obsolete Mopar parts ripped me off, charged twice then only supplied some parts, now refuses to answer any emails. I could phone him again but I've done that enough and I...

I’m not a brand specific person, it’s either hot or not! My first V8 was this Rebel, loved it, sounded tough and revved hard. But they aren’t a Mopar in my book, second cousin maybe! Just a cool car in their own right.

Super bird vote here, don't recall seeing any Daytona's in OZ. Nascar effectily banned the 62 Pymouth Valiant Hyper pak also, just too good, 7 of the top 10 were normally a Hyper pak, so the series was canned!

Things aren’t quite as bad in OZ; our soldiers do get a mention but usually as “soldier XYZ was injured/killed today”. Then 2 minutes about celebrity X’s latest mess up. Just plain wrong! Thinking about all who have paid the ultimate price.

Allready all over down under, but thanks for the wises and the same to all members where ever you are. Marty

Not the most powerful engine swap but different. 1962 Plymounth Valiant powered by a 2010 alloy quad cam Hemi V6 and four speed auto (GM)

Kinda makes you think!! Looks like just another anti drink drive add and then becomes a blood bath, very visual, very real. A must see especially if you think it won't happen to you. Trust me it can even if you were sober!! Drive so you can do it again tommorrow Marty
