As stated, M3 hands down. Throw in wheels, tires, more specifics on suspension, big brakes, lightened car, stiffened uni-body, on the RR and it is doable with a whole lotta work. Then the M3 throws on some auto cross tires and takes the title right back.

"You don't get something for nothing" by Rush resonated with me since I first heard it in 1976. It didn't get any air play, so unless you bought the 2112 album you probably never heard it (last song B-side). It simply sums up my philosophy of life: Get off your butt, make things happen, and...

Who knows... but the end of print media may actually turn old car mags into collectibles in time? I could see it.

That's fine for about 5% of the population. This is beyond the ability most people these days.

I have... and I swapped them out after a year. The wheel well on the 73 Charger is huge. The short 295/50/15 only looks good if you you lower the car such that the top of the tire is pretty close to the lip of the wheel opening. A taller tire looks better on these cars.

I speak Contractor (just insert some form of the F word every third or fourth word or so), and German, which was bad choice. Spanish would have been a lot more useful here.

Spectacular show here in WA

This is exactly the issue. They just do not keep large amount on hand anymore, and reserve how much they give out in case there are multiple parties that want to withdraw. Imagine if you are the second guy to show up for a withdrawal and they tell you "they gave all the money to the last guy...

Remarkable as it seems, considering it is done a million times a day, there are sellers who don't trust bank wires. The last guy I suggested this to was convinced that I would steal all the funds in his account. He agreed to a bank cashier's check, but then balked when we went to his bank to...

If it was me, a 318 poly isn't making any power so I would drop in 2.76 or 2.94 gear and spend the Gear Vendors $ on something else.

You are getting poor customer service which is enough reason to change banks. BUT, don't expect to be able to walk up to the new bank's teller and withdraw $20k without scheduling and waiting..... especially when those funds just got there via wire transfer from somewhere else. The $10k limit...

Other than tracking down known leaks and noises and a check over of things already mentioned, If I have a planned long trip I like to drive the car on some short hops to build confidence and sort things out. Take a few 50 mile trips down the highway until you are comfortable that everything is...

I was surprised that it had semaphore turn signals. Maybe they were trying to make sure they didn't track over an infantry man's foot? The dedication and work to restore something that is the only running example in the world. I'm sure that it quite a process.

That's very specific and probably unobtainable new. Sorry, I don't know of any supplier. Good luck.

10" rear drums for 67 Coronet are readily available just about anywhere. Go to your local auto parts store and they can order them in unless you want to do it on-line through Rock Auto or another source. But.... since they seem to have been swapped out in the past, verify the dimensions of the...

As for buying tips, you HAVE to wade through FB and CL. The idiots you encounter are no different than the ones you used to call in the classifieds or Auto Trader. These are the go-to sales venues for local cars in today's world. I second all the great advice from Detective D. Search FB and CL...

For sale at $25k, they will probably take $22K? If you like 3rd gen Chargers, I think that's reasonable for an 88k car that you know the history of.

No it comes out glossy silver, but the real shine comes on after it starts to level and set. It's still not chrome, but pretty impressive for one-coat paint.

When Mr. The King speaks, you listen :thumbsup:

Almost. In the past, these have all sucked and been nowhere near chrome, but I tried this one on whim and it's pretty decent. A good product for budget projects. I did some arm rest bases and at a glance most people I doubt will even notice.
