    CPAP users....

    I use a bipap which goes up and down with the pressure like breathing. I wore an overnight oximeter on my finger and my O2 level was below 90 without it. I'm used to it after 10 years. I just told myself that I was going to have to get used to it and bingo.

    Helping very intelligent, very disorganized people....

    I try to be neat but have to organize from time to time.. I used to lose tools and parts until I made the change. Now at 72 I forget where I put things. A never ending battle

    Are you a purist?

    I would change to coil over front suspension and lose the torsion bars. That would change the nighmare of the left side (starter/torsion bars). The rear suspension is fine for me. My 67 A fine except the car is a nightmare to remove the oil pan or adjust the second gear band. My car has a...

    My little brother was taken Saturday

    Sorry for your loss. I had to pull the plug on my little brother because if not he would have to live in a induced coma and respirator. He had said that he did not want to live that way. The pain is great and will become a sad memory in time. I pray for you to have the strength to get through...

    Not to steal the post but what are regular 68 inserts with no pits worth? I have a set that I bought after being told they were 67 inserts.

    ******Posting! Don't change the core of A-bodies.

    I've been a Mopar guy since 1960. There are folks in the new generation who IMO have no class. I wish I could stop them but I lost my poiceman badge. I am not going to let anyone chase me out of my places. Mike don't let the jerks run you off. Most of us love and respect you.

    Best NBA player,you like...

    Bill Russel set the standard. Bill Walton is second. John Wooden said that Walton was the best he ever coached. Unfortunately he had bad legs and feet . really shortened his career. In the 75 NCA finals he put on a clinic

    It must be wonderful to sit on a throne and bash people who made mistakes. Mistakes ( bad choices ) are made by many. Pick yourself up an move on by few. Last time I checked, the only one qualifies to judge is GOD and that AIN'T you.

    What do you like about your car the most?

    I built it and it does exactly what I want. Street/strip fast, reliable, pretty and comfortable. An old racers dream. I would likew to do more (AC & stereo) but age and money stopped me

    Apparently my car does not want to be sold.

    If you keep the fuel pressure below 6 lbs and isolate it from heat, AFB's and Eddy's work fine. They require almost no maintenance

    Skin cancer....

    I had a swami cell carcenoma on my upper lip. They cut a V in the lip and then folded under a bit of the rest of the lip. It looks OK but my upper lip is thin now. The worst part is that the novacain shot was unbelievably painful. Now I know why kissing is so so pleasant. Lots of nerves in...

    You like these chrome bumpers ?

    I've always missed the chrome bumpers on new cars. When I bought my Barracuda, it had all the chrome blacked. When I repainted it with it's current colors, I powder coated it right and I love my black trim. I think the challenger liiks great with chrome bumpers

    Mazdaspeed 3

    My friend has a Mazda 3 automatic 4 cylinder and at 100,000 miles the trans wouldn't shift into 3 rd gear. He called everywhere and nobody knew anything to fix it except a completely rebuilt trans. He doesn't have $3000 and has lung cancer so it sits.

    Picture of my car is in Hemmings Muscle Machines

    Used to have that dream until I talked to a guy with a 70 Mach1 stang. He has $10,000 in paint materials. I want to enjoy driving my car. My neighbor has a 31 Vicky that sits in the garage between shows. Mine is not perfect but get lots of looks. It's also fast and reliable.
