    Dodge Colt

    I remember seeing one 9 years ago. It's like a stubby little duster/demon. If I knew where one was I'd grab it just to do something different. Seems like it would be fun, not to mention most people never even heard of them. Any of you drive one? What do they drive like?

    Need some advice on parting out

    I'm basically going to try to see what kind of price ranges you guys think or would pay for the stuff. I don't know where else to put this kind of inquiry and I'd like to see how much interest is out there.. It's a lot easier to ship *most* parts than it is a whole car, also a lot easier to sell...

    17 year old kid tried to buy my bracket racer :(

    Doesn't sit easy with me, I replied to his email and explained to him that I do not think it's a good idea for him to have the car and told him that his parents will have to be present and sign some sort of disclaimer that I am not responsible for whatever he does with the car and that he will...

    Street legalizing.

    So my girlfriend was nice enough to say It'd be cool if i could use her garage to convert the cuda i'm selling to street legal or restore a car. I was going over information I found on the net and a quite bit of stuff will have to get changed. If nobody decides to grab my car when snow hits, I'm...

    Cost, Rust, Buy, Flip, Sell, Trade -- Etc

    I noticed someone was complaining that their car wasn't selling and figure I'd bring up the age old story of car values, cancer and work required. Firstly, there's the DIY method, which isn't even that expensive if you have good connections to old hippies and rednecks with a yard full of mopar...

    Suddenly... I hate GM/Ford.

    I generally like the cars to a degree, some are nice... I found some pretty amazing heads by trickflow called twisted wedge and they only make them for ford/chevy. Summit catalog I get? 45% of the ****'s Chevy. 30% is ford 25% of it is mopar.:wack: So many good parts, heads and such and were...

    Getting tired of driving auto...

    I'm driving home and give my suv a little gas, I can literally hear the trans screaming bloody murder when I know I could have shifted if it was manual.

    "Different" paint abodies.

    Figure while im playing around with paint ideas id check the net... lol you sometimes come across a paint job so goofy or off the wall it just..... makes you stare. I personally believe less is more, stick to 1-2 paint colors, stock decals/badges, no crazy graphics like ghost flames or goofy...

    Differences between 70-72 and 73-75 dusters

    The body style remains the same, right? but the front end and rear are different? Since it's bloody easy to get a 73-75, and cheaper... and I wouldn't feel so bad cutting into one so extensively to make a serious restro-mod. Specifically i'd focus on altering the rear to look more like a 70-72...

    Duster Challenger -- Do you want to see it?

    Seriously, do ya!? I do the same thing all the fab super-heros do, draw my car out on paper before I get into body work, I don't got my car yet... but I can dream meanwhile. I keep telling folks what I want to do with a duster once I get my mits on it. I'm not sure how well some of you envision...

    Times we live in.

    You hear the old farts talk about how back then when 'American made' meant something. Raw steel, quality, pride. It wasn't about a buck, it was about reputation and passion. I was a kid back then, now I'm older and Wal-mart is the biggest supermarket chain... I've bought stuff from them, I've...

    In-Violet Paint code

    Why so rare? Such a beautiful color, every time I google this mopar color seldom EVER do I find many pics of it. Also most painters can't seem to duplicate it properly and end up coming too dark or too light. It's mystical and amazing. Would be great if someone could tell me a place or person I...
