    What is gravity?

    It is a physics principal called mass attraction, it is explained mathematically, but is a fairly complex principal using advanced calculus. Basically says that mass/matter tends to attract other matter and the force of attraction is inversely related to the distance between the objects, i.e...

    Time for a NEW car!!

    I have never driven a new challenger but did drive a new camaro rental. I was not happy with the site lines from the dirvers seat at all, car looks cool, but all I could see was fenders.

    B5 Blue Owners -- Your Input is Requested!

    I like the idea, had my rims coated in a silver trying to match the original about twelve years ago and they are in need of attention. I would enjoy hearing your thoughts about dealing with rims in this condition, i.e. previously coated and deteriorating. Also - I have painted this car...

    anybody got kids, past or present i got questions

    First you need to love them and not be afraid to show it! Diet is important as I see lots of this in kids who get too much processed sugar products. I teach martial arts to students young and old and find that if you discipline them firmly and fairly they will respect you. You may have to...

    Battery on concrete.....

    A concrete slab acts as a capacitor and when you set your battery on it you effectively put a "load" on the battery as the battery is constantly charging the capacitor. This will result in discharging your battery faster then if it sits on would which effectively isolates the concrete capacitor...

    Welding FABO members....im calling you out....be ready to rock and roll

    Looks to me like Asa is a good friend - sorry dude, start by making sure the metal is clean, you don't want to be welding through paint as it will always cause problems like the "pin holes" I see in your pictures :-)

    Fracking issues on your land??/

    Fracking is done at approximately two miles of depth or more, our water supply is generally at around 200 feet - just fact. The only area of concern is at the well head and it is important to utilize proper materials in sealing that to avoid potential problems. I have done some significant...

    Irs

    Record the phone call, your answering machine can likely do that. Might be the trick you need. Good luck, remember they have nothing else to do, so be patient!

    Check out this Challenger.

    I would love to have one of these with the big hemi, however, at approximately 4000 lbs that is around 7.3 pounds per HP. My T/A is around 3000 lbs and 400 HP, which is about the same, Plus I like my hood better!

    I remember when..............

    I remember when I took my honda 50 (which I bought in a basket for $12) to the gas station and put almost a gallon of gas into it, (if you filled it full it just splashed out cause the cover didn't seal) then purchased a pack of gum, 5 pieces, and received a few cents change from my quarter!

    My apologies

    If you don't piss off someone once in a while then you probably are not doing a very good job! Thanks to you for all your efforts.

    Some people need their *** whipped

    I agree with you all and find myself hoping this kind of jerk gets arrested and just happens to fall down on the way. However, I would suggest a look at the larger picture can be informative. By that I mean, just exactly what is this thing called Mardi Gras anyway? The answer is that it is a...

    Ford Electrical

    I am not real familiar with the ford truck electrical, but would suggest the voltage regulator may be junk. If it is an electronic regulator there are electronics involved which do not "reverse bias" well and when presented to a reverse bias such as this the electronics die by shorting out...

    AMC = Mopar?

    Where I grew up they were ramblers and were a cheap imitation of a real car i.e. MOPAR!

    Thanks FABO

    I have been reading some guys having hard time doing deals here and wanted to chime in, just so folks understand that not all deals go that way. I just received a bumper and tail light lenses for my 70 dart father/son project from RMGHRGR. I want everyone to know the bumber and parts were...

    can anyone identify this side mirror?

    Looks like an E-body unit, satellite units were shaped differently though similar, they are "rounder" with less sharp lines if I recall correctly.

    "Fall From Grace" Rant

    Remember that god only does these things for people he really loves! Sometimes I think I would like a little less love, but know that is not true. His ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts. Keep the faith brother

    Front frame rail replacement

    I would do a lot of measuring etc, but it has been my experience that most 66's and 67's are very nearly identical with model year changes most significantly characterized by the incorporation of the sidelights. In simpler terms, you probably could not tell which was which without tracing...

    body work guys

    I did body work for years before I changed careers, welded a lot of these cars as a younger man and would advise against trying to shrink the metal unless you can get behind it with a dolly. You need the dolly to hammer the hot metal in order to shrink and anneal the metal. If you just heat it...
