There was a guy with an auto shop across the street from my house when I was a kid (back in the '80's) and the owner always kept some wrecks in...
I would love for my wife to say that in either case, meaning my car or the crude double entandra (probably didn't spell that right, but you know...
Right here. Had a '55 Dodge Coronet Royal 4 door, but never got it on the road. Now I'm working on a non-HAMB friendly Dodge Aspen, and still...
Brake clean works great for cleaning out wounds. As far as the animal topic goes; I'm often more compassionate to animals than people. Animals...
I work at an oreilly's and I've often been extremely disappointed with the parts we sell. All of the house brand stuff is made in China and some...
Class of 1997. I drove a 1986 Olds Cutlass Supreme that really was owned by a little old lady. It was definently an old man's car when I got it,...
Working at a parts store I hear a lot of mispronounced (or in some cases just too stupid to know the right word) descriptions of parts. Here are a...
I'll do the best I can. I grew up in Mishicot, Wisconsin which is in the Northeast part of the State, in Manitowoc county. The car and house are...
That's an awesome car. I've always loved hearses and wanted to own one.
Saw a pretty good one while I was working at the local O'Reilly's. One of the new salesmen from the Toyota dealership down the street came in on...
This isn't a car ghost story, but still a good ghost story. I remember when I was a kid, about 8 or 9, laying in bed one night and seeing a black...
My current daily is a 3rd gen GM F-body. Not posting a pick because it is way O/T. Once I get the money saved up and find one, this will be my...
I about laughed myself off the chair after reading that. I've read some stupid shit on Craigslist, but that one was good. At least it is easy to...
I always talk nice to my cars when I'm working on them. If I'm working on someone else's car I usually cuss the damn thing out if she isn't...
"has original 225 slant V6" "has straight V6" "posi rear end" when describing a Mopar, it's sure-grip, people "ran when parked" aka engine...
From a fellow Mopar guy, you hit the nail on the head with that one.
The only thing that irkes me is when someone sticks a SBC in a vintage Mopar, but that is because A) the SBC is so over used, B) there aren't that...
I've been thinking about doing a frame swap on my '55 Dodge Royal sedan. I was thinking about the Dakota frame so I could keep everything Mopar,...
Seems Russian women are on either end of the extreme. They are either really really hot or look like Nixon in a dress. This has to be one of the...
I love this story. It seems odd that some of the old crabasses in our hobby feel the need to exclude anybody new. It makes more sense to encourage...
Nice find pstreet. Sounds like a pretty fun road trip too, a lot more exciting than my Turkey Day break. Not sure on the year, but around '28-'30...
I'm glad that someone is working on converting a Dodge to disc and giving us all a heads up on how their progress is going. I have to admire the...
I guess one could say that I'm brand loyal. I like Mopars, always have. That's what I'm interested in, so that is what I want to build. That...
I miss yards like that. There used to be one right by my house when I was a kid. I used to sneak away from Mom and Dad and go look at the cars....
I own mine. Bought it this past summer. Currently, I do not drive it because I've pulled all of the drivetrain, except for the rearend. Trying to...
The third pic in #307 is the problem with some modern trophy girls. They are just too damn thin. I should not be seeing ribs and pelvic bones when...
Got to love those 70's era short shorts. I wish those would come back in style.
50 cent cans of soda pull tabs no curfews parents actually giving a damn about their kids and teaching them how to act in public A&W...
Pretty simple actually. I live in Georgia and have always idolized the old Shiners who used to run liquor down country roads at 140mph. So when I...
This is a very cool build. As much as I hate seeing Exner cars being cut up, I have to say that what you have going is very outside of the box and...
