Spent a couple days last week cleaning up and detailing my Duster. After 5 years on the road and several road trips it don't show like it used to. I still do a couple shows each year to support good causes and visit with old friends and make new one's in the old car community. Yesterday was a...

A member is looking for a Plymouth license plate with the winning beat. He has posted a picture here: Plymouth License Plate I have never seen this particular tag before. Does anyone have this tag, or a better pic of it? Thanks, C

I have determined that I can no longer depend upon someone behind me lighting the roadway for me, or that I will always be following someone at night that I can use their taillights for my navigation. This after I almost broadsided a bridge in Atlanta one night on I-285!!! I have polished my...

During the auction for stansblue72 I was fortunate enough to be high bidder on a tag frame offfered up by dwire67. I was really surprised to actually get two frames at auction end. Thank you dwire!!! My plan was to use the frame as a guide to make a new custom front tag for my Duster. I am...

I think a couple years ago I requested info on waterless car washes and said that I would report back after I had tried it out. Herewith, my mini report: My interest in trying this product out is due to wanting to keep the cars clean year round and being able to wash them any day, in the...

Thinking about installing a LoJack system for peace of mind. It is pretty expensive though. Anyone have one? Do you like it? Are there alternatives? I am just starting this search and line of thought. Thanks, C

When I started my Duster project I bought an '88 Gran Fury 318 4bbl cop car to get a few parts off. I drove the GF for nearly 3 years while waiting for it to go under the knife! For a bench seat car, it was the most comfortable car I have ever owned. As ugly as the seat was, I wish I could...

Good morning folks, In July I made a 4,000 mile trip and averaged between 17-17.5 for the trip. This weekend we took the Duster to Statesboro for a birthday party. Drove down on the interstate doing 70-75 the whole way (about 150 miles) and averaged 16 mpg. On the way home yesterday we came...

Well, my last "upgrade" sort of went over like a fart in church... let's see if this one does a little better. Retirement is in my future and I am doing a few things to ready the Duster for some trips. I hope to trek from GA to NY in June, taking the back roads and taking my time. Also plan...

I met up today with Kent at his shop in North Georgia and picked up a Duster grill that I had purchased from him earlier this week. Enjoyed the visit and shooting the bull with him for awhile. Let me tell ya, he has some nice parts at very reasonable prices, and a good guy to deal with. This...

I recently purchased a vinyl cutter and hope to begin making a few bucks with it. I have been playing with it to learn how to use it and made my first cuts over the weekend. I then used the decal I made as a stencil and painted this tag for the front of my Duster. Yes, this one has several...

I've been aware of this '64-'65 4 door for quite a few years. Just sitting there under the shed. Drove by today and seen that the shed is collapsing on it...:wack: C

Folks, your work has been a hit this year at the shows that I have attended. I have given out cards and contact info to a lot of people, hopefully some have contacted you. For new folks on FABO, get to know these folks! FYI - The Duster got "Best Car" last week, the 'bird got "Overall best of...

Evening folks, Looking at a possible purchase of a Dodge Avenger, probably in the 2008-2010 range. What can you tell me about potential trouble spots, good engine vs the bad engine, etc. Thanks, C

Howdy folks, My build is "nearly done", don't know if I will ever be able to say "finished". I have a good many parts left over as I went through 3 parts cars and several junk yard trips to get to this stage. I want to clean up my shop and yard of these extra parts, but wondering what I might...

Yesterday was our local "Battle of Byron" community fun day in the park. Lots of food, games, crafts for sale, live music, etc. and car show under the pecan trees. Out of approx. 100 cars there were 3 A Bodies and 3 or 4 other Mopars. A '64 Dodge 330 won a "top 10". A '75 Dart Sport Hang 10...

It was an absolutely gorgeous day yesterday and I entered the Duster into the FVSU car show. About 125 cars on display, I seen maybe some of the best paint & body of my life there. There were 4 Mopars on display, my Duster, a Dart, a new-ish Charger and an older Chrysler 300. I have thought...

As stated above... My usual routine is to wax the whole car, then go back and wipe it off & buff. I tried this new (to me) gel wax a couple nights ago. After it dried on, I couldn't get it off without really, really working. Even my buffer with a cotton cloth wouldn't remove it, it would...

Drove the Duster to work yesterday so that I could put it across the scales. '72, 318 with 904 auto, 8 1/4 rear, fiberglass bumpers front & rear, extra insulation and carpet in cabin with carpet in the trunk. No a/c compressor yet, a spare "donut" in the trunk and 1/2 tank of gas. Sway bars...

Good morning folks, What a hoot I had yesterday! Some of you may recall a thread I made a few months ago regarding the closed Byron, Ga. racetrack being used for Dodge Durango commercials: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=152000&highlight=racetrack The owner of the...

My (former) sis-in-law is a quilter. She wanted to do me a present for my Duster. What do y'all think? One quilt, two sides... C

Last night while working on the Duster I came across a problem. Going through my tool box I came across a woodworking tool that I have. Tested it for the project and it worked. It wasn't perfect, but with a little tweaking, it would have been and this tool would have a place in a lot of tool...

Howdy folks. Seems like the heat has made more than a few tempers flare. Doesn't seem that long ago that the long cold winter had normal folks bickering... Needed, a few FSM pages for '74, '75 or '76. I am re-wiring my car and need to see how to hook up the windshield wiper motor. Anybody...

Good afternoon, It would be real helpful if someone would post up a pic for me that shows where the wiring is routed for the trunk light. I am putting one in my Duster, but the wire is maybe 2-3 feet long and I don't see any simple way to get around the trunk hinge. Thanks, C

Have you seen any of them? I seen the first one about 2 weeks ago and thought it was pretty cool. Abandoned circle track, moaning over the loss of American muscle when two new Durangos go by... ‪Dodge Durango | Long Lost Performance | Commercial‬‏ - YouTube Well...

Howdy folks (or is that G'day mates), How about a couple engine bay pics for me. Wondering how your wiring harness go. See my post here: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=149589 Thanks, C

This started awhile back when RPM offered up his CNC cut signs. My daughter bought me the Plymouth heart, and I bought a first gen Firebird sign for my son's birthday, which was yesterday. Nice pieces, thanks Scott:cheers: Next they were both sent to Leanna for her to work her "magic" on...
