I sent a letter to the dealer. I included THEIR Carfax and a copy of the AutoCheck done by the other Chrysler Dealer. I explained to them I was going expose what happened on social media, contact the Better Business Bureau, and the attorney general. But, I was giving them an opportunity to make...

Thanks everyone. I kept asking about the hood and was told over and over it was normal. I wondered why the car, a 2010, had so few miles and was told the owner was hurt in an on the job accident and never drove it. Due to his injury, he traded the car in on a truck. Yeah, right. What is strange...

In December 2014, I bought a black 2010 Challenger R/T from Lee's Summit Chrysler Dodge Jeep. I looked the car over several times. I noticed the hood seemed a touch higher than it it should have been. The salesman assured me it was a pristine car (19K miles) had not been subject to recalls...

I'm not sure I'm allowed to reply...I recently painted the entire underside of my 68 Barracuda...using paint cans-spray, primer, base coat and clear. Came out pretty good. In some places it came out great. Sanded it down to bare metal by myself. If it is hot, work fast, cold, pass. I built tents...

gdrill, that's it, that's it. You're the one I owe a beer. I couldn't remember and forgot to write the name down whenever I read the post. His prices are great too. I really appreciate this. I am in the middle of parent teacher conferences at school, talking with parents, going over grades, and...

thanks for posting this question and the great pics. I need to have the same done for my 68 Charger. Let me know how this turns out.

I can't remember what forum, but someone was talking about a vendor in Colorado who sold AMD sheet metal at a good discount (I need fenders, front/rear for my 68 Charger) and I can't for the life of me find or remember who the vendor was. Anyone have ideas? Thanks.

Thanks, that is what I suspected. Is ceramic the way to go for longevity then?

The car is up on floor jacks and I am on a creeper. Didn't realize how much his would antagonize my bad back either. But I am done. Not perfect, and the paint was not applied as evenly as I hoped but, due to my circumstances, this was my one option. I have done the entire engine bay, inner front...

I am interested in black headers for a 360 and maybe my 440 as well. JEGS and others have Hedman headers in heat resistant black. TheHTC Hi-Tech Coated only come silver. Does anyone have an opinion on how well the black painted Hedman's hold up (retain their color)? Hooker offers a black...

I wish I had read all these posts before I did it again. This is the best advice I have ever received. I did it again. I painted the front clip, from the torsion bar cross member forward (the front fenders/nose cone are off) and most of it came out okay. Got some fuzzies again and one part of...

Money, time, and other challenges necessitated me painting the underside of one of my cars in the garage...with spray cans. After I sanded down the entire underside from torsion bar cross member to the rear valance panel, and I mean every nook and cranny, by hand with the use of hand tools...

You are having one of my days. Okay, not true, decades...I won't bore you with the details but family and friends say I am jinxed, and bad luck so I feel for you. Do nothing. That's right. Nothing. Everytime I've tried to make a decision during a situation like yours, it always turned out badly...

Meep Meep, thanks. No wonder no one else answered. Maybe this weekend I can get a moment to try this. I appreicate letting me know.

An acquaintance told me he had a purple shaft cam (possibly with a 484 lift) and a double roller timing chain for $150 bucks. They were put in a 1987 Dodge Diplomat with a 318 4 bbl and the cam and lifters have about 20 miles on them. For $250 I could have the engine and tranny and he'd drop it...
