    F8 green new vs. old

    i have this ratty 340 swinger that is F8 green. As you can tell, there isn't much left of the original paint. Have any of you guys used the 2017 challenger F8 green in the rattle cans from the dealership to touch up? I wouldn't be trying to cover all the spots. Just hit the bare metal parts...

    Name that tach.....

    I was in Oklahoma last week cleaning out some junk in my new shop. Previous owner was a car guy. He had a six pack challenger that he bought new up until about 5 years ago. Anyhow, he left me a few crappy work benches and this tach was in one of the drawers. Looks like it could have been a...

    WIW apart dart LONG......

    So, my move back to Oklahoma next spring is quickly becoming a reality and I am figuring out what to move back with me. I have one car that I'm on the fence on what I should do with. I am painfully aware that selling a car apart is a money losing proposition but I really don't think it will...

    Got followed home today.......

    Scored this little d100 for a song. Hadn't been started in over a year. Fired up on three cranks with just a little squirt of fuel in the carb. Few dents, no rust, runs and drives but electrical needs help. 318/727. I love this thing.

    Dipstick tube in the freezer?? Anyone done this?

    So, I am a dipstick install away from firing my new 440 in the car. Of course, it's too tight(repop tube). The last thing I want to do is crack it obviously. I sanded the damn thing for an eternity today. Still super tight. I was just reading about people putting the tube in the freezer...

    i have a little WWYD scenario for you guys. Kinda long. I had my 440 rebuilt by a shop I've used before. When I dropped it off four months ago, I was told it would take 6 weeks. I was also told that the owner(whose name is on the business) had sold the shop to his employee whom I knew from...

    Anyone good with OBD II code readers? 98 dodge van

    hey guys, a buddy of mine asked me to help him with his 98 dodge van with a 360. It has 110,000 miles. It needed a downstream oxygen sensor as the "check engine" light was on. I replaced it with a Bosch unit and reset the code reader. The check engine light then stayed off. Now, everything...

    1970-71 dodge dart differences.

    So I am going to try and recreate my favorite high school car(1970 dart 340 four speed) and since I'd never sell it and clones don't bother me, I was thinking of maybe doing a clone. I have noticed that 71 darts seem to be a little more common than 70s in my area, so I was wondering what the...
