    9th Annual UPS Car Classic, Metro DC Area

    I wouldn't mind making this if I can get rid of the driveline vibration in the Valiant before then.

    Adam 12

    Love Adam-12! Used to watch it on TV land in the mid/late 90's then it went away. Was really excited when I found it on hulu and my girlfriend bought me Season 1 on DVD for my birthday, she's hooked on it now too.

    Mopar's at Mason Dixon Dragway car ****

    Wasn't that the tag they put on T/A's and AAR's? I love the odd second fender tags, I've got one that says "Body In White, Special Mask, Special Paint, Special Order" that I took off of a junked '74 Monaco police car that I'm going to put on the Valiant to mess with people.

    Ones that got away

    Sold my first '69 Coronet for $500, all it needed was a 3X3 inch patch behind the passenger rear wheel, front fenders and hood painted and a new vinyl top, was mint other than that. Sold the Coronet to buy a Charger, '70 top banana 440 4-speed R/T all there less engine, ended up buying...

    Well Got Laidoff Yesterday

    Hang in there, I know it's tough. My work has been very up and down for the past year and a half, I made $4600 last year and so far I've made $2200 this year :angry7: The past month we were slammed, this week I've had to call the boss everyday to see if there is work for the next day, haven't...

    Garage Poll: Rent? Own? Mother Nature?

    Well, went to look at a garage for rent yesterday. 15x25'ish for a little over $125 a month. It's in the next town over, maybe 10 miles away, but right now I'm keeping it at my dads, which is around 20 miles one way.....I think I'm going to take it. Wish me luck!

    Garage Poll: Rent? Own? Mother Nature?

    After replacing the floor pans in my Valiant, I've really began to notice how leaky my rusty cowl is. Instead of the water going straight thru like it used to, I have big puddles in all four floorboards with even the slightest rain. The Valiant sits outside 24/7 and I've come to the conclusion I...

    Introducing the Electric Duster Project

    Exactly. I remember not too long ago when most A-bodies, especially Dusters didn't really make it into the big Mopar Mags because of exactly that, they were daily beaters, '70's smog mobiles and cars you hacked up to race, you only really had something or were "cool" if you had a big block...

    When to say when with a project car....

    Well, it's not so easy, he lives about 5 hours away and I've never been to his house. I've tried to set up times to pick up the stuff, but he's always "working" or has "something else going on". I understand how life is, but what can you do; I can't really bash the guy though, we've all been...

    When to say when with a project car....

    Thanks for the responses guys. I guess I'm going to try and wait a little longer before I make a move. If I sold the car I know I would regret it, how do I know? I had an early A conv before, a friend now has it and I kick myself every time I see the car. I just need to try and take...

    When to say when with a project car....

    I've got a tough descision to make about the future of my '63 Valiant Signet Conv. project so I thought I'd ask you guys for your thoughts, experiences and opinions on the subject. Back towards the end of last summer I ended up talking with a friend of a friend about this car, he was...

    Introducing the Electric Duster Project

    Apparently "Reader Bruce Hanson" sent them an email with a link to autobloggreen.com with something about it titled "Mopar Fan Converts Plymouth Duster To Electric". The usual song and dance about it being pointless and they "question whether he's (you) a "mopar fan" or an "enviromentalist". 3...

    Fiat + Chrysler

    Then again, our other mopar is an '01 Neon with 115,000 miles that stuggles to get 24mpg and feels/sounds like it could go any day. It also leaks from every seal possible.... trunk leaks, both rear doors leak so bad it's already rotted the rear carpet. I'd buy another new mopar but it...

    Barrett Jackson tonite !!!

    So far prices seem to be somewhat lower this year, last night a '70 383 Challenger with loads of options and a factory sunroof went for $37,400 and a nice black '67 GTX convertible went for $45,000. '68-'70 B-bodys are still too expensive; $50k+ for the ones that went last night.

    Burr!!!!!!!

    It was -1F when I headed out for work this morning around 8am, no idea what it was with wind chill. It's cold enough we don't have any water, somewhere between the well and house it's frozen solid.

    Going on a shooting spree......

    I've been in the same boat a bunch of times, missed out on a '76 Dodge Colt back in the summer and I called within 10 minutes of it being listed. There are just too many people who watch it regiously to ever get anything good. I don't even check it anymore, waste of time.

    Introducing the Electric Duster Project

    Eh, looks all out of proportion with the chopped top. "Why who put this '69 'Cuda roof on here?" I would dig it with a targa top though, and ditch that back side window. With the exception if the VW Beetle (and maybe tri-5 chevy), you can't really chop the top on anything post '54 and it...

    Introducing the Electric Duster Project

    I don't have a problem with it at all. If you're got to drive an old mopar around town daily, it only makes sense to do something like this. If the car was hacked to death to do it, yeah...I'd have a problem, but to me it looks like the trunk pan is the only modification.....easy to replace...

    Introducing the Electric Duster Project

    Very cool project, I'd love to do something like that with my Valiant. The 40-50mi range is kind of a bummer though. You should graft some solar panels into the top of a go-wing and stick it on that thing. That, some fiberglass bumpers, body panels and a nice light set of wheels....I'd think...

    Shop got broken into

    Sorry to hear about this man, it sucks. I had about $600 worth of stuff stolen from my car and had someone try and brake into my shed a few months back. It seems like people are getting too lazy to work as well as the economy going in the crapper. I've got a friend who works for the railroad...

    Bow hunters?? Need your input..

    Is it worth anything, I'm sure it is...how much...that's another story. There's one on ebay like yours for $50 and has no bids.... I've always found bows to be like computers, seems like if a couple years go by there is something better out there and you can't give away a used bow. I sold my...

    I got my first craigslist scammer

    I'm also not comfortable giving out my phone number on there anymore, it's just flake city on craigslist lately, I think about half of the "interested buyers" are just phishing for numbers to go on a telemarketer/spam list. I know the bogus phone calls wanting me to "not let my car warranty run...

    What do you do for a living?

    I've done everything from cashier to pizza driver to making windows to auto mechanic. Right now and for most of the last 5 years I'm a dental lab technician; I make/repair full dentures, partials and whatnot. I get to play with acrylic and metal.... it's not too bad. I'd like to start my...
