I feel the need to say a bit more about the SoCal car culture - something that really affected me and really turned me off. Spring Fling was quite a nice show all in all. But it was also all Mopar - thus the attraction. The few others I went to were pot luck. Not one ford or GM **** would give...

I had many trophies from back in the day from runs at the strips in Mpls. After I left there they all just disappeared, don’t even know to where. I had never once taken the X to a show event. I went to them but never brought my car. Wasn’t my thing. But after the resto and being in SoCal I...

An exact cast replica of a 68 GTX - the ones Kiwi sent me were of my X. Same color and black vinyl top et al Very nice and very nice of him…

The way I would add to that is Lipstick on a Pig … I’d probably need to see before and after pics to see if it could be re-restored. I wonder how bad it was prior to…. You would know that better than me …

Agree - and it even looks like the argent on the main section is not right if you look closely

$2700 is ridiculous in my opinion. The $500 one looks poorly restored - but getting that one and re-restoring might be the order of the day…. I guess that’s up to the OP

I have one however (3 actually) courtesy of our friend and protector @kiwigtx. I gave two to the new owner - my friend, and kept one for myself for posterity sake….

No one’s fault - but back in the day I put a reverse manual shift B&M shift kit in my torqueflite. That sob shifted so hard and fast that I broke lugs off the back wheels a number of times. No 4 speed was ever going to approach that puppy no matter how good the driver was. It was rock star bad ***….

Never was or am a concert goer. My loss which is approaching hearing aid levels must mostly be from shooting. I remember one time fairly young and a bunch of buddies were blowing off all our weaponry- This dude standing not 8” from me blew the cork on his old Chinese assault rifle - holy **** it...

The front is not an issue - only the rear. 295’s w/perfect backspacing yeah - but my 275’s even rubbed a little if I didn’t raise the car up 2” with “add a leafs” from Summit. I ran L60’s (275’s) the entire 48 yrs of ownership. Had air shocks back in the day to raise it. I should also say back...

Yeah that’s all I’ve bought for years now has been Firestone. Some because my good friend is mgr at a Firestone shop so I can go to two different locations and get what he recs for “friends and family” prices which is a damn site better than what they typically cost. And they’ve been good tires...

When I bought my 2003 Lexus back in 03 - I drove the car maybe 5k and my wife was saying why is the road noise so loud. I was for some reason kind of oblivious to it until then. Then I paid attention and sure enough - Took it back to the dealer and demanded they replace all 4 tires for warranty...

What the hell happened to Australia? Didn’t that “used to be” the land where men were men and sheep were nervous…. They rolled over like pussies and let the govt take their guns. Now this …. WTF??

There’s also lab grown diamonds now days as well. Pretty much the same as a real diamond - just not mined from the ground

L60’s - I would further add RWL Goodyear L60’s are the look for my eyes. Love me some Cragars with them - My 68

I’ve only had one kind of bad neighbor in the 30 yrs I’ve lived here. They lived next door and built a little pond on their patio. In that pond they put a big fing bullfrog….Every night you can imagine what I tried and failed to go to sleep to the sound of…. Well one night, totally frustrated...

What’s your GF’s truck doing over there at night….. You’re not married yet? Don’t tell me you’re having premarital sex …..

Why shouldn’t the foreign mfgrs have distain for the American mfgrs - so does the American public ….

Yeah I switched mine over to all right hand when I restored my 68 for that very reason - These young dudes, or really very few of anybody are going to know that Ma Mopar idiosyncrasy…..

Yes of course prayers that your Sis has recovered nicely and is living a whole and healthy life again. On Pacifica - very unfortunate as that is indeed a lovely place. My only thoughts are - Unfortunately the waves weren’t a bit north and could have swept that sewer of a city SF into the sea and...
