    I hate BMW’s

    Depends on what kind of Jeep you are talking about. A 40s or 50s military jeep might be expensive to restore and maintain, but I am on my 5th Jeep now. I have owned a 1995 Grand Cherokee, a 2004 Grand Cherokee, a 2007 Grand Cherokee, a 2018 Grand Cherokee and my current 2023 Gladiator. In all...

    I hate BMW’s

    BMW = Bring Mechanic With you. Nothing against my FABO buddies who own and like BMWs, but I have known a LOT of people who have had a lot of trouble with theirs, and it is expensive!

    Almost as entertaining as a boat ramp.

    I like the ones where the truck goes clear down into the water. I am not good at it by any means, but here is what I do: I put my hand on the bottom of the steering wheel, and whichever way I want the back of the trailer to go, that is the direction I move my hand. Sometimes it works out great...

    Parts ads

    On the other end of that spectrum, I lucked out BIG time on some parts once. In 1985, I was restoring a 65 Corvette convertible when stationed in Little Rock, AR. It was a factory AC car, and it was missing the driver's side AC duct/vent. I saw an ad somewhere for some AC parts, and I called. It...

    Common wheels to tow a ‘64 Barracuda

    They are right, and they beat me to it. I am really confused. You purchased a 64 Barracuda "project" car. To me that means it needs a lot of work. Work that will likely cost thousands of dollars. Why cheap out on the transportation home?

    Lost my little doggy.

    So sorry for your loss. I am 73 and we have lost 5 pets over the years. It is a terrible thing. Just think about the years of happiness and the joy and love that existed. Try to take joy in that.

    Pics Of Mopar Wives

    Now here is a real Mopar wife. She is helping me strip the paint off the Barracuda, and then she grabbed a grinder and ground the leftover stuff off.

    Good thing I had heavy leather gloves on!

    I am working on a GMC Jimmy tailgate for a powder coating customer. It is really rusty. I was cutting out a patch piece from some 16 gauge sheet metal, and the 3” cutting disk tool got away from me a bit. It sliced right through the heavy leather glove and wound up barely grazing my skin. Just...

    Help determining square steel tubing size for a gate

    Thanks for your reply. Although I think the single 4 x 4 post in concrete will be enough, I was planning on tying that post to the adjacent post which is about 6 feet away with a treated 2 x 4. I was thinking on attaching the 2 x 4 about 1 foot above the ground on the adjacent post, and...

    Help determining square steel tubing size for a gate

    I have a 6’ wood privacy fence around my back yard. It contains a gate that is about 5’ wide. I have had to rebuild that gate at least five times. I frame it with treated 2x4s, attach it to the 4x4 treated post with heavy hinges and then attach about ten 6’ x 5.5” x 5/8” treated pickets to it...

    the USS New Jersey battle ship.

    If you are ever on the Gulf Coast, stop by and tour the USS Alabama in Mobile Alabama. For one reasonable price, you get to tour the battleship AND a WW II Submarine. The entire time I was on the battleship, I kept thinking, "How does this thing float?" I understand the science behind it, but it...

    NEW Road House Movie.

    You are right. There have been some good/great remakes. What I meant was that when I REALLY like a movie to the point I consider it to be a classic, I just don't want to give the new one a try.

    NEW Road House Movie.

    I don't think I will watch it. I like the original so much, that I don't want to even give the new one a try. Same way with The Magnificent Seven. The original was fantastic, and I have no intention of watching the new one that came out a few years ago.

    Does anybody else have trouble doing posts with their cell phone?

    I rarely make posts on this forum with my cell phone. I much prefer using my laptop. But often when I do try to make a post with my cell phone, I get an error message that says “oops, something happened. Try again “. Sometimes, I cannot add pictures on my cell phone also. I wonder if anybody...

    Was the 273 available in a 68 Barracuda?

    I was looking for something for my 69 Barracuda today, and I came across the statistic stating that the 273 was an available engine for the 68 Barracuda. I thought the last year for the 273 was 67. I am no expert, but does anybody out there know for sure.

    OH YES! Primanti Bros. We ate there several years ago when passing through Pennsylvania. It was so awesome! I wish there was one nearby.
