    LED 7" Round Headlamp Update

    I've eyeballed a few new(ish)-on-the-market LED 7" headlamps, and one out of three of them gets a thumbs-up. That's the Philips H6024LED. It's made in Taiwan, rather nicely per my inspection, and it appears they picked one of the better beam specifications in the regulation to engineer/build to...

    '73 Dart with TAILFINS—anyone seen this car?

    I snagged this pic from a Craigslist ad in 2010, and it's been bouncing around my hard disks ever since. From time to time I try to find more pics of this car, but I haven't had any luck. Anyone know anything about this car? I think that's a New Jersey licence plate on it.

    Food Shark!

    It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a truck! (with at least two Valiants and a Plymouth).

    'tis the season

    I wrote to Slanta Claus awhile back. I've been extra-good this year, so I hope I get a Slant-6 aluminum crossflow fast-burn hemi cylinder head and an aluminum 246CID Slant-6 block to put it on and a NOS Hyper-Pak kit and a new-never-driven '60 Valiant to install it all in and a couple of winning...

    The world just shifted on its axis...

    As some of you know and many of you probably guess, I have a lot of car-related literature, and not all of it is books and manuals. Much of it is loose-leaf paper. TSBs, SAE papers, articles, etc. It takes up a huge amount of space, is very difficult and inconvenient to access and search, and is...

    Need aluminum hard-anodized…where?

    Anyone know a shop that'll do hard anodizing on a small-quantity (two pieces) basis? Every shop I've talked to only wants to do production quantities. Thanks!

    TD Canada Trust Bank stole from me - what would you do?

    TD Canada Trust stole from me, and I'd like to cloudsource (sorry) some advice. For over a decade I've had a TD Visa card with TD Canada Trust, one of the major Canadian banks. Some months ago I was looking at my statement and saw they had charged me $45 for "Balance protection insurance" I'd...

    Cargo help needed - Hellertown, PA

    My grandpa built what is now my house in 1950, and I'm trying to keep it as original as possible. I need to replace some of its light fixtures. They're no longer available. I've found a stash of mixed NOS correct-brand fixtures offered as a lot for a heckuva-deal price, but they're in...

    How the Grinch (PayPal) Stole Christmas

    This just ain't right. (careful if you click the link, there's a pic of a cat with the F-word in the caption). I am looking into alternatives to PayPal. I'm liking what I see at Dwolla and will probably sign up…all transactions are either free or 25¢, depending on the amount.

    Be careful out there!

    Now we've changed the clocks, there's greater car/pedestrian interaction during darkness and we are all at much greater risk to be hit while walking until the clocks change again. Be aware you can see a car with its headlights on far sooner than the driver can see you. Don't jaywalk. If you're...

    Really effin' GOOD corkscrew light bulbs

    (ref this long and contentious thread) I just happened upon some really good compact fluorescent household bulbs that are also cheap, widely available, and although they're made in you-know-where, they're from an American company (GE) so at least the profit stays here. They're the GE Reveal...

    A few minutes in the life of a Detroiter

    Monday afternoon, having taken nearly 500 pictures at the North American International Auto Show (on a press pass; my initial coverage of Chrysler's press conference is up on Allpar with odd page formatting), I had about half an hour before a meeting, so I thought I'd go back across the street...

    Mind The Reason for the Season

    It's easy to get caught up in the "Only n more shopping days!!!!" consumer frenzy, the parades and Santa Clauses and kids begging for the latest toys and games, the endless advertisements…but please take a moment to remember the reason for the season: The reason for the season is POLAR...

    Anyone in Cleveland? Need local eyes on a car

    Anyone in Cleveland feel like looking at a car for me? It's in North Royalton, looks like about 18 miles away from downtown Cleveland. It's kind of an A-body, actually an AA-body ('91 Spirit). I don't expect your time and trouble for free. Please shoot me a PM. Thanks!

    Another variety of SEMA pics

    Huh. Where is Chin? What language do they speak there? FAIL! This scam reliably reels in the haplessly and willfully ignorant alike: These lights are really cool. They are actually only about ½” deep, but they appear much deeper when on. Chrome face when off. They're just...
