Breakfast time for the blind hood cat Mr Po. I don't normally feed on top of my car but there was a lot of activity at the OWP soup kitchen this morning and he gets timid and backs away in a crowd.

Thanks for bringing that up. When my neighbor saw me taking the pics I mentioned how the shoes are sometimes put on wrong but it will take someone who messes with drums brakes more than me to spot it so I'll see what the forum says. On each side I do have the shorter lining facing towards the...

Well even if they would, it would take forever to wear out the new ones. Its not like I would get another mopar down the road that could use them, people don't do that. Riiiiiiiight?

Never mind, ordered both widths, I'll just return the incorrect ones.

Yeah I would say that pretty much answers that. While looking at the usual sites they show two different width shoes for the rear 10 inch brakes. Any clues from the pics there? Dodge just can’t make things simple.

Mine came with some aftermarket aluminum rad. Figures one of my roughest cars ever has the fanciest radiator I've ever had. That makes a lot of sense, I also compared the broken spring piece I have to some pics and it matches the 10 inch stuff. 11 inch hardware is different. I'll probably still...

If I was smarter I would have bothered to read the writing on the drum. Oh well I'll pull the wheel off again on Friday.

No part of my body was under the car, I always use stands if any part of me goes under an elevated vehicle. This was the same as changing a tire, I'm all off to the side.

First the questions and then the long story :p This is a 69 Coronet 440 with barely any options. Non power drums all around. 1) Where do I measure to determine if I have 10 or 11s? If I measure the outer edges of the drum I'll easily be at 11. Do I measure there or across the inner drum...

I'm similar when it comes to the money, but I am now getting to where the gating factor is where I'll spend a lot more if I know it will save me a lot of time/effort. I still have a job that eats most of my time so when I can work on the car I want to get as much accomplished as possible and...

That’s what she said.

If a 5.7 challenger or charger was the donor how compatible is the oil pan and accessory drive on those? I ask because there was a decent challenger for sale at a small dealership last spring stupid cheap and I kept thinking it could be worth it for parts alone.

I use a mini dishwasher and have to occasionally give it an enema. Part of it is because I have hard water but it seems many machines can throw an error code, I think it’s E1 or similar, and it seems different brands use the same codes. Anyway the issue is slow water flow so the machine gives...

All the talk of doing makeup or texting while driving reminds me of the driving sin I used to commit all the time, driving while holding a Thomas Bros map book in one hand and reading it to figure out my next turn etc.

Sorry about the car, you can still have fun with the nephew figuring out the metal work, that’s the only silver lining I can come up with. It was crazy windy today, I had to run an errand and took the old LandCruiser. I get back and a big branch, not as big as yours but substantial, was in the...

I didn’t get a picture but I went to a taqueria for nachos with a friend and then took the Coronet on a country road and went faster than ever before in it. A whole 61 mph! I’ve been putting around surface streets just seeing how it does for awhile, this was basically a parts car at some point I...

I must be a pet whore because I even like the puntable dogs, wasn't crazy about them before but then I found an abused one which over time became a great little critter. This is something I constantly think of when dealing with people now, for pets and many other things!

I first saw the rainbow bridge thing when one of the animals had to be put to sleep and the vet sent a card. Since then I’ve wondered if anything like that is in the afterlife I’ll be busy gathering up all my animals, hopefully with restored memory so I find them all. Then I guess just chill...

I'd use the dent puller with studs, Harbor Freight makes it accessible and there may be even cheaper ones that work on Amazon.

Not surprised, even Roadkill didn’t surprise me with the new ownership. The same people have been messing and killing things on the DC comics tv side. Yes I’m into comics and POS old cars, don’t worry ladies I’m single!
