    Your best beater that you beat the snot out of but it kept treating you well?

    I bought a rusty low-compression 1968 Monaco for a winter beater and drove that thing for 2 or 3 winters. It was fun to drive in the winter. The 318 was more than enough power to do all kinds of donuts in snowy, icy parking lots and streets, and yet with snow tires mounted, it was wide and heavy...

    Totally agree. All of those look bad to my eyes. I also wonder how long those hinky-dink door handles will last until they break...seems weird to me, if you're going to modernize the door handles, french 'em or something, don't leave them sticking out there but lacking a push-button.

    At SEMA...

    Agreed, that's what they did to the Fast & Furious later versions of Charger. I've seen a similar treatment done quite a bit with these recent resto-mods, and doing away with the pop-up headlights is blasphemy, in my books. When I fabricated my own grille to fix several broken areas, I...

    Opinions appreciated

    Beige wheels on a beige car? No, too much beige. The beige makes those wheels look like they're made of plastic. And a design like that, you're gonna hate when it comes time to washing them clean...I hope you have some spare toothbrushes.

    Bug removal from front end of our old cars??

    I haven't tried this in years, but I remember reading about and using windshield washer fluid on a soft sponge to remove bugsplats.

    Bug removal from front end of our old cars??

    That stuff is awesome. It's a great degreaser and general cleaner, and also good for a final wipe if you're spraying paint or clear.

    How about eggs? "Hey, look at those white things that fell out of that bird's ***...let's crack one. Eww, what's this slimy stuff with the yellow eyeball inside? Let's eat it!"

    A few minor electrical questions - 70 Charger

    Thanks, gives me something new to check...hopefully the shift indicator was good the whole time, I just never had the headlights on to test.

    A few minor electrical questions - 70 Charger

    After a couple months of tedious work, testing and tracing most of the summer, I finally have my wiring and electrical nearly all sorted out. I have a few questions outstanding, though. -The shift indicator light (console): Will it only light up if the ignition is on "Run"? I can't test that...

    My take on liver: Ya know that organ that filters out and stores all the toxins in the body? How's about we eat it! It's disgusting, but even moreso when you realize that fact...

    Confirm starter fitment: 1970 Charger 383

    Nearly every search for these various parts numbers shows a starter with a modern black connector on it. Unfortunately when you search a part number like these, you end up with Chinese knock-offs listing "compatible with..." and having dozens of part numbers. I got the same results searching...

    Inevitably breaking something while you're trying to carefully restore it.

    Confirm starter fitment: 1970 Charger 383

    I'm sure it's made in China too, but it's not a no-name knockoff like nearly all the others.

    Confirm starter fitment: 1970 Charger 383

    Guys, I know, yet another "which high-torque mini starter should I buy?" thread...I researched this AC Delco starter, 337-1096 on Amazon. Searching for a particular legit P/N on Amazon ends up with a ton of results but they're all el-cheapo Chinese knockoffs, "compatible this" and "compatible...

    Front End FRIDAY!!!

    Gorgeous color. I love any pearl or metallic color that's so dark it's almost black, until the sun hits it.
