Cibies. Quick way to get up to speed on modern lighting options is to go to Daniel Stern Lighting and read everything on the website. Some good threads here on FABO too, and Dan chimes in with his expertise on most or all of them.

This subject gets my blood boiling. SHAME ON YOU! How inconsiderate! Early last summer the neighbor put in an open fire pit in his side yard and his college age sons started using it to party with 20-30 of their friends on weekends until 2-3 in morning. Now mind you my workweek starts on...

Not unless they have a 5 on 4 bolt pattern (not likely as most of of the multiple bolt pattern wheels will have 4 1/2, 4 3/4 and maybe 5 on 5). A particular aftermarket wheel back could have just about any back spacing, so that may or may not be an issue. Just measure actual backspace on what...

Short answer; not very well. I've tried tarps, lean to's, portable garages (fitted tarp around pipe frame so popular now because of cost and local regulation) and nothing really works to take the place of a garage.

The real Chrysler company has been dead since the fed allowed the German hostle takeover and subsequent raping of the operating surpluses. The final straw was the theft of the remaining assets from the bond/stock holders and gift of said assets to the unions by the Obama administration to buy...

I'm always amazed by when this question comes up, because I painted not only the firewall on my sister's '68 Camaro in body colour (they are stock), but also the inner fender panels, the inside of the fenders (unlike a Mopar, they can be seen when the hood is up), the core support, and the...

For the last ten or fifteen years, it seems like every other car made, in every corner of the globe, has been painted a shade of grey, beige, or silver. For this reason alone there is no way in hell I would paint my car in one of these colours even if I liked the colour itself. Because every...

Being old enough to have "grown up" when all these cars were new, I find all this quibbling over ratios in the threes laughable. Looking at what was actually used by the factories might provide a little perspective. Automatics from the general would come with 3.07/.08 and 3.23 usually and...

Real eye opener article in one of the magazines recently about IMM doing a stock stroke 400 that put out some pretty impressive numbers. Being that he's got a 408 in his own car, I'd sure be wanting to get Brian's opinion about it before getting too committed one way or the other. Maybe he'll...

What year is that? Even my minimally equipped Feather Duster has sprung hinges.

Seeing these pictures and hearing the story makes me sick to my stomach. I REFUSE to buy Domino's Pizza. I have from the time one of their delivery drivers didn't have enough smarts to turn his headlights back on after making a delivery. He managed to broadside my daughter's LeBaron...

Anyone want to take a stab at deciphering the fender tag?

Here's another attempt to show that emissions sticker legibly

Second try

The tag and emission stickers in my Feather Duster

You might get away with swapping ring gears on the Suregrip carrier and bolting it into the housing containing the correct pinion. Cinch all the bolts down and break out the red lead. Actually the factory manual recommends Hydrated Ferric Oxide (Yellow Oxide of Iron) for checking the pattern...

When I put 235/60 X 15s and cop car wheels on the Duster, the tires rubbed on the flat flange at the lowest part of the fender front. Triming the flat part of the flange back at a 45 degree angle and rounding slightly with a file gives 3/16" to 1/4" clearance unless I'm backing up with the...

Steel crank was dropped after 1967 model year in passenger cars, although some heavy duty trucks (318-3) were said to use them later.

Maybe not '76 , but you would have thought it was dying for sure in '78-'79-'80 if you had been trying to make a living selling them just like I was. K car gave us some relief in '81, but the rear drive cars and the pickups were only slightly better screwed together than they had been in the...

Weight of all aluminum components on the four speed Feather Duster were listed as saving a total of 187lbs. Feather Duster lightweight equipment probably only got the weight down to that of the 70-72 models with roughly equal equipment. When I finally get around to pulling mine apart for it's...

I've posted about it on here several times. Three years ago I replaced the clutch in my Feather Duster. It had 288 thousand (and some change) miles on it at the time. It is completely original down to the OSAC valve. Original carburetor (special to the model), distributor (curved...

Someone above posted they thought 1000 dollars should buy a running, driving, relatively rust free, 4 speed Feather Duster with a reasonably intact interior? Yeah right, good luck with that. That describes mine exactly and I wouldn't take four times that amount. Fact is, with all A bodies...

Unfortunately, this thing is going to look like everything else made in the last 15 or 20 years, Butt F Ugly! The most recent spy photos show the same distorted proportions and cartoon like, caricatured features as everything else penned by graduates of the Art Center working in the SoCal...

You must live in Forida or PA. Legal in Canada? The light background with purple lettering is far more photogenic.

No disrespect to the guy manufacturing them, but I don't consider Mustang II suspension an upgrade. A expensive 2500 (I'm guessing) dollar lateral move that won't handle any better and probably not as well as carefully thought out upgrades to the stock suspension perhaps, done because the owner...

Curious why you want to kick a 36,000 mile car in the head, but I'd use EVERYTHING from the Dart if it's a disc brake car including the spool mount K and electronic ignition. Even if it's not, the motor/trans would make for a sweet running everyday driver. Ebrock Performer and mid 70's...

While I think the one piece milled grill was done for the wow factor and a more delicate fabricated one would have looked a lot less like it belonged on a late model Ford pickup, I for one, really like the way they grafted the Roadrunner sheet metal on their '65 Impala to make it look more like...

Be aware, 727 was also available behind slants. Early ones used a factory adaptor to mate up to a BB bell, case on later ones were direct fit to the slant motor and by the late 70s used a lock up torque converter. That means there are three possible case to block patterns and only one has a...

This is one of the most confusing threads I've read in a while. Best I can make out is you posted on here for a little hand holding because you traded a running, driving, clapped out, nothing special Duster needing major bodywork (properly hanging quarters on any car right is a HUGE ordeal at...

Using late B body torsion bars would allow you to slide the front end ahead for better weight distribution and slide the torsion bar crossmember back for possibly easing some transmission clearance issues. If the B body bars are 44" long (I'm guessing) that's another 8 1/2" to divide up between...
