Recently went to fix the heat on my 70 Duster. Blower was blowing but seemed to be coming out the back instead of the vents. I assumed there was some big hole so I spent half the day pulling out the box, cutting and capping off hoses, dripping coolant everywhere, and so on, only to find out the...

Nothing is more important than a good paint guy. Especially one who can touchup damage without having to repaint an entire panel, and make it look invisible. It is a talent rarer than anything else in the auto industry. These guys are usually very eccentric and don't advertise their services...

I still enjoy Hemmings Muscle but it's gotten repetitive. Oh wow, the umpteenth 67 GTO Restomod by Bob Smith and Joe Blow.

It is fantastic on modern Challengers.

Obligatory:

LandSeaAir54 tracker: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XVZ6Y4T?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title Unit is dirt-cheap and extremely reliable. Easy to hardwire into the 12v system (get a 12v USB port on Amazon, also dirt cheap) and it's smart enough not to draw too much power so you can have it on...

Again, from the perspective of a buyer I am glad to hear that BaT is insisting on having lots of recent high-quality photos. BaT is primarily a site for remote purchases that don't typically involve an in-person inspection. With that in mind, pictures are of paramount importance. It doesn't...

I've sold two cars on BaT and you can bet I sent them fresh pictures of that car that I took very recently. I even had to talk them into posting all the pictures I sent, at first they said it was too many. It is entirely reasonable of them to demand fresh pictures. As a buyer would I be happy...

You shouldn't drive with that much cash either, unless you want to make it a donation to whatever police department happens to pull you over that day on some obscure pretext.

I tried this in Graceland and it was a hard no. Sorry.

I've lost patience over the years and these days when I'm looking to spend significant money on a business for a service or a product, quick responsiveness is a must. If I leave you a message, Yelp you, email you, or whatever, I'm likely doing the same with five competitors, and the first one to...

When I build a shopping cart it's nowhere close. I can't be bothered to call them and negotiate. If they want to price their stuff competitively up-front, they are free to do so.

If you're an Amazon delivery driver in the SF Bay Area I strongly suggest you take the day off Sunday. Or bring your own hazmat suit. :p (I considered giving them a break this year but I'm still saving like $40 over buying these on Summit.)

Fixed a horrible rattle in my 1970 Coronet RT that's been tormenting me for years. Came from the rear driver's underside somewhere and sounded like sheet metal slapping together over every bump. Finally discovered that a couple nuts holding a suspension bracket were loose. The attachment points...

You'll often find cars at these auctions that never come up for sale privately or at dealers. You are paying for good bodywork and paint since that is what you can see (along with documentation like numbers, tag, sheet, VIN, and so on -- if that stuff is claimed but hidden or misrepresented, run...

This sounds like $300k+ build. Could be cool, but please hire a lawyer first to figure out the title situation.

Can't licensed body shops order repop vin tags from ECS? The problem here seems more to be the fact that the title is a CoD. Seems to be a lot of ins, outs and what-have-yous about getting this converted to a salvage title, I wouldn't go there.

According to this, it was optional in the 70 Coronet R/T: 68-70 super bee and R/T dash options? I like this color and find it amusing in a 70 Coronet R/T. If you can get away with just having to repaint the hood/side scoop/engine compartment (and repaint the engine while it's out), and if...

But it's still 500 pounds less than a Hummer H2.

Then there was the inspector I hired in NYS who claimed a car had an "almost #1 paint job", first thing I saw when it rolled off the truck was a bunch of obvious runs on the rear paint right over the passenger wheel that had been there since the original respray 15-odd years ago. The photos were...
