    Blank fender tag.

    So I bought a parts car for a project. It’s a Satellite Sebring Plus. You know, fairly loaded up. But when I was pulling the carpet to remove the shifter mounts I found this. First time I have seen or heard of it. Not a mark. Zip. Zero. Nada.

    Thinking about another project.

    I had a line on this car a few years ago. It still sits in its jail cell to this day. A project that lost interest. It’s a hemi orange Scamp. It’s another unique one. Similar to my old one Rex. 318, buckets console.

    Just because......

    Tom, aka @Dartnut, (Hi Tom! :thumbsup:) stopped by this afternoon to play with his Valiant. Slowly but surely this baby is getting closer to being on the road. In fact, it’s basically there. I just thought I’d post a couple pics. It is a super cool little ‘69 in my opinion! It’s fun to help with...

    Today’s score

    Today’s score came with a nice visit with a gentleman who had a few more gray hairs than me. I had a 12 Hour drive today on my way home from work so I did a little shopping on the way. I grabbed a pair of 68 Dart low back bucket seats and the rear seat and the console and a 69 A 833. Shortly...

    Now this is cool!

    A Nodwell with an A100 body. Nice! I like it. I like it so much I may look into owning it.

    Header identification.

    Ok, I saw these and they are being called A-body big bock headers. I must admit, I have no clue, but that driver side is different than any B-body header I have by a long shot. Does anybody recognize the style? Yes I tried searching here to see similar but found nothing. I might grab them “just...

    Want help on a 383 VIN

    I know it is very unlikely to ever make it home, but before I commit to using the engine I just acquired, I figured I should see what it was out of. I picked up a 1970 HP 383 for my 66 Coronet. It has the VIN of 0A223344. Pretty cool VIN actually. I know some members here are good with these...

    Distributor question.

    Of course @halifaxhops is the first member that comes to my mind when distributors come up. But I want to hear any opinions. It may be nothing but this distributor has a box in the side that I have not seen before. It is with some other 71 440 parts I plan on buying, but I can’t determine what...

    It’s got cop tires........

    "It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas" Who’da thunk?

    Well, the VIN starts with an A!

    Green on green with a touch of green, imagine that! Did I need it? No. Could I turn it down? Well, we all know the answer to that! 360 truck automatic need some rust repair. But don’t they all?

    Engine ID by color!

    OK, I have a weird one here. Has anyone seen a yellow small block seemingly original? I have found an engine in a truck that is advertised as a 313 (poly). It is not as the picture shows. It is an LA engine in place where a poly should have been. It was very tough to determine the intake numbers...

    Left hand studs

    I just finished cleaning up a set of Kelsey Hayes rotors. I blasted them and painted them. Then I blasted the lugnuts. I never noticed before, but the left hand nuts have L E F T stamped on them. Just a tidbit of useless info you didn’t really need to know or care about!

    Merry Mopar Christmas to me!

    I call this "Bernie's 340" because I got it from a fellow named Bernie.........I know, how original! This is the fellow I got the 68 Barracuda from a few years back. I finally got this deal worked out. It is a 73 340 he pulled from a road runner way back when. Gave it some oil in the cylinders...

    Just an F.Y.I. If you ever had a bulge in a tire.......

    and wondered why it did that. Well, I bought a set of rims with rubber a couple years back. They were all good but one. It had a bulge. It was no worry to me, I bought them for the rims. I proceeded to put them away with the masses. So they have been in my storage shed for a couple years. Today...

    Different 1972 Duster

    While researching, I came across this car. It is different than any I have seen. The vinyl top is more of a landau style and it has a hood emblem and tail panel emblem as well. Not sure whether I like or dislike the whole layout, it's just different. I was thinking the top could have been a...

    I am crazy......not!

    Ok, I admit, I'm a bit outa hand when it comes to cars. I have no problem accepting that. So I had to move the Coronet out of the shop today in order to get this in. It is a 72 Gold Duster. All there, complete, original engine etc. 318 auto, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I traded my 78 D100 for it...

    Crankshaft question

    Hello gurus. I have just picked up some parts and one piece I got is supposedly a 440 steel crank. The guy told me it was a good one with smaller offsets that may not require a bunch of work to put it into a 383 block. I have a list of part numbers for cranks both cast and forged, but I can not...

    What is it with us?

    Or is it just me? Today was the worst day in weeks for cold and snow. And what do I decide to tackle? I make an offer on a truck I found a while back.........and the guy accepts! It is a 1976 Dodge Custom 300, 1 ton dually, 400 / 4 spd, 4X4. Sure it needs work, but don't they all?! The box sides...

    Muscle car review March 2012 shout out to Mopar

    I dug out some older magazines and found an interesting and positive mention of not only Mopar, but a specific praise for A-bodies. I tried to find it online but couldn't. Here is a pic and a close up of the comment. It's a good little write up on how Ma Mopar stood alone and walked it's own...

    I wish this would have been a 2dr!

    Man I can't believe it. I bought a 1970 Dart parts car along with the Barracuda with the intention of selling parts to fund and reduce the cost of the project. Good idea, right? Well.....it is in phenomenal condition, excluding the exterior paint. The floor and trunk are nearly 100% rust free...
