I had a set of 15x8 5 windows by Shelby that were custom drilled, all 5 barely broke into the centerbore ring, That's why I was not hesitant to drill these Chevy II spec (deep backspacing, more shallow front) Autodrags very close to the center ring. I had to go hub centric as my drilling was not...

For someone thats had 1 sip of a beer in his under 21 lifetime? I can guess a cleaning bill......

Anyone driving out to MATS from So. Cal? Maybe we can get a caravan or carpool going. Id like to go but am not sure if it would just be a day trip or an overnight. 4 hours each way isn't bad for a day trip. May be a great time to take my new at 21 son to Vegas?

The guy ghosted me. Seeing how the title wasn't in his name, the title signer was dead and he was selling it for a family sounds like this was going to be a 'parts only and cut the thing up before the cops find it in my driveway' sort of deal. Trouble with that was I was going to make HIS truck...

Jim, so smog is just for registration...not title transfer? How do you tell he DMV that its a non running car (if they ask for smog cert) or is that only when you try and register it? Itll be tip top shape when I try and register it....if the guy ever responds to my emails! >> He just...

of its 10 years, heck i may just wait it out! :lol: the Mazda has the rears payments. iirc its $300 CHP penalty and 175% of a new registration fee. I didnt think id be able to save it after its last smog fail so i parked it but little by little the smog parts were found and the rusted leaking...

how you do this when the DMV requires a smog cert? Case in point 1980 Ford Courier: blown 2.0 motor, Straight body. I have its rusted adopted asian brother, 82 Mazda B2000 with a good 2.0 motor but bad bones and a load of CHP penalties for lapsed registration. I can pick up Courier (and good...

Thats the guy i saw at a Fling a while ago. im terrible at names but faces are a lock. i ran into a guy in Hong Kong that I played little league against. "Did you play little league in Laguna?" Uh...yeah? "Is your last name Outlaw?" Yes......! " F dude, I played against you 10 years ago in Costa...

I think I may have run in to him at a Spring Fling. Some Iranian looking guy talking Mopars? Though that was a little out of place, you usually see those guys talking Mercedes.....

Nah, anything is better than being at home for worship.

Tell everyone its a C.A.R.B protest rally. No one checks those for PPE or distancing. And have a few nice cars parked there. Today as our first open church in 3 months. 400 person seating had to be <100. Temps were scanned on entry to campus and we sat by family in odd numbered pews (distancing)...

Im out. Hope you find it.

How does a stinky slant six even survive in ultra-tree hugger Berkeley? Maybe they are exterminating them.

Could you just torque it up in a block for a month? Maybe bias a bearing a little with some shim stock? Beating on a cast crank sounds detrimental to its health as castings are brittle. I got a 360 crank turned down to 340 main and the flange broke a chunk when Fedex dropped it. I got the money...

I drove by them twice today! Right next to LB Mini. They got in a bit of social media trouble recently. They botched an Ebay listing for a Challenger(?) and it ended up selling for like 18K, way below the minimum they forgot to set. Told the winning bidder your SOL if you think your getting that...

If your a FABO member and showing a car, do us a favor and put a FABO ID on your windshield. That way we can say hi when we see your car if your standing next to it. Ill be wearing my black 65 Barracuda shirt, no car this year.

Yup. l just realized that.....And of course I have to work the Long Beach Grand Prix that weekend anyway....But I get to see the old Trans Am cars run this year!~

screws could be nice in that you could actually remove the hump for work but pop rivets would be pretty easy, drill-poke-pull-POP! .

You could pay a shop but the hacks nowadays would probably do a rush job that you could do better. The hardest part will be welding the hump in. The rest is modular, just nuts and bolts. If you have a cherry picker, consider picking the front of the suspensionless chassis up and rolling the...

Get with a car club and ask for help. Are you into wrenching? Do you have the manual hump already? Dont have a shop name for you.

I cross linked this with my BOG group so maybe a few non-member Barracuda's will show up.

If you all end up in HB, I can totally meet up and have a non alcoholic beverage anywhere! Any Barracuda Owners Group (Yahoo) members here? Ill pass this along. I know we got about 5 in the So Cal area. If you all wanted to take the 3 car Balboa ferry across Newport Harbor, that would be a cool...

Dang, I'd be driving your cuda too! :)

we could all wear name tags, but with a picture of our cars we didnt get to take, like that hokey class reunion you went to and everyone wrote their maiden names (and maybe even senior pictures) on their tags because they got unrecognizable. Ha, funny.

Can I drive my Dodge Grand Caravan? That's the only Mopar I got running unless I get hopping on my EFI. Pismo would be cool, Mopars ON the beach! OC fairgrounds has a Labor Day Cruise w/1000+ participants all pre 78 american muscle. Kinda weird as you cruise around a 1.25 mile 1 lane loop that...

That turned out to be a busy weekend in So. Cal: Street Machine/Muscle Car Nationals in Pomona, Spring Fling in Van Nuys and Long Beach Grand Prix in LB. I got to work the GP...again! Maybe I can slide in Sat AM late.....I paid admission to show my car (anniversary show years ago) and had a...

Good question, the E-tickets are good for ANY 1 DAY. Thanks for the interest and I amended the post to include the proper days. MT subscription: You can get online edition, paper edition mailed or opt out. It looks like you can also send paper edition to address of your choice (School, Dentist...

When I posted something in the west coast forum, I didnt expect an Idaho response. We got these pick-a-part yards called Ecology Auto, 1/2 price every now and then as their regular prices are still too high. You get families waiting in their vans for their fathers or uncles or big brothers to...

Bumping the west coast feed. Kids are back in school, let the garage time begin! Got to get mine rolling for the more relaxed Fall Fling coming up; wow, already around the corner! Ledman, moparman, fst73360, TTmikey, we should caravan or carpool it this year. I need some motivation to get my...

My sis lives in SF, no thanks! Id take N No Cal any day. Sweet!
