    How many times has a parts car become a builder

    Both my boy's car should have been parts cars. Jacob's 65 B'cuda was $400 13 years ago and needed more work than it should have. And here I am with his little brother's 73 Dart Sport that was $400 and needs a lot more than it appeared to need on that winter morning 2 years ago.... LOL. Same...

    Auxiliary back-up lights 2019 Ram

    So anyone with a newer Ram knows that the factory back-up lights don't do much more than simply let people behind you know you are in reverse. That's fine in an urban setting like a parking lot with streetlights. Out here in the country it gets damn dark. So I wanted something that didn't look...

    How much would you spend on it?

    pssh... I'm cheaper.... Original owner's son gave me the 69 Fury III ragtop I had for 20 years just because I stopped to ask if it was for sale. It was in similar condition as your 'net.

    How much would you spend on it?

    I saw that listed . Asking price is 3500, I believe. Seems fairly solid except the trunk floor. Motor is stuck. If I was interested, I'd show up with 800 to a 1000, tell them you'll be putting another 3-5k in it just make it run, not including Making it stop.

    Which k member is this?

    Well it sounds like you had the answer to your original question of what k frame is this.... I think your question should have been that you have a modified k frame to supposedly hold a big block and should it be trusted. To that, the general consensus is probably "no".

    Back spacing for slotted mag rim wit 235/75/15 8-3/4 rear

    If you have a 4" backspace now and go to a 3.5" backspace, you'd be moving the whole thing out a half inch, putting the tire into the wheel lip more. You want to go to a 4.5" backspace, to move the tire inward toward the spring and away from the wheel lip....

    When to make a car a parts car?

    When to make a parts car? When you buy a $200 failed/wrecked race car attempt (or what's left of it) that looks like this, so you buy it for said roof I mentioned for my son's Sport in an earlier post....

    Cool. What's up with the hood fitment? Just curious - - - -

    When to make a car a parts car?

    Like others have said - Only you can make the end decision. For me, $5k is a lot of cash for a parts car. Sounds more like one to restore. Slant car or not - it is a blank slate. Can you get $5k out of it after you take what you need, and save several other cars? 20 years ago, when I built...

    Honestly...how good was the 318...mpg / durability / hp

    A short tale of 2 'teens... Picked up a 74 D100, 2wd, long bed, auto and power steering. Unknown gears in the 9.25? rear. Bone stock 318 2 barrel. Got a whopping 10-12mpg no matter how easy I was on the gas, or on the highway or back roads. Empty or loaded for the dump - did not matter...

    Ram’s Head

    I was always turning my brother's head around on his 86 Ram. He would get pissed. He never did figure out that it was me.

    BigBoy 68

    Well, as mentioned yesterday, he's supposed to pick up a rear he bought from me before Carlisle. He showed up on time today and is already gone. No issues, just patience.

    BigBoy 68

    I guess I'll know tomorrow. He bought an 8.25 rear from me 2 weeks before Carlisle, paid in full, with an agreed upon pickup date of tomorrow, more so because of availability, not his.

    Can anyone identify this bumper?

    found the same car online. front shot you can see the mounting bolts on the bottom. I think you are correct, the top 2 holes are for bumperettes.

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    Nothing to the car physically, but we did pick up a running 904 from a 72 318 Duster for Josh's 73 Sprt "Fred" for 100 bucks. It will lay in the corner of the garage for a year and get a basic rebuild/refresh when the time comes to put the driveline together.

    Build date i formation help

    When I ran the fender tag on my son's 73 Dart Sport, part of it told us what day the car was built. Does 70 not have the same codes on the fender tag? If so, run it thru a decoder.

    I would think rubber body plugs. Not really any different than the rubber plugs in our trunks, right?
