I enjoy listening to boogie woogie and many other gen tunes and watching pro-dancers. As much music as I thought I knew as a geezer, I still find some cool tunes from the 40’s and 50’s I've either never heard or could be maybe forgot that set the foundation for rock. Thought I’d share this as...

I’m going to check/adjust the valve lash on my slightly built poly after a couple thousand miles. The build included solid lifters. It’s only been 45-years since doing this on a GTO, so quite rusty. I’ve been researching the drill and came across a vid from Summit that says you only need to...

Contemplating a new set of wheels & tires for my ’63. I went through the fitment maze when I went from 14” to 15” (7” width) and wider tire, Coker Mag-500 steel wheels and BF Goodrich. I had more room than I realized. They are p235/60’s. What’s puzzling cuz I guess I don’t know enough about it...

Thought I’d ask members to share their stories about how they got into the line of work/careers they ended up doing. I’ve read a few posts some have mentioned about this I found really interesting more as side notes in posts, thought I’d start a thread on this. I’m guessing there are some...

After a few years of getting bugged about it, got my set of hearing aids yesterday. Well, seems most of my friends my age have them giving my wife the extra push to try them. I’ve heard the complaints from them, but they seem to have adjusted to them, at least fewer complaints. Getting in the...

Did some appreciable searching here about gas gauge gremlins, not coming across my hassle, so posting for some tips in case anyone has encountered what I’m having. Trying to condense here: My gauge has operated intermittingly and seems to be accurate – when working. It seemed that it would work...

Question about 727 overdrive installation possibility on a ’63 PB trans. Poly 318 with some performance modifications. I’m not any expert on tranny’s. My trans was upgraded to a modern TQ and spline some 5-years ago. My first mistake was taking out the 3:23’s installing 3:55’s. Thinking of going...

While back I posted about my ills with a shop installing an SSBC kit on my ’63. I had it in the shop for a sure-grip problem and as I was planning on a disk brake conversion they said why don’t ya let us do it? I had been traveling like nuts then so thought ok, why not. MISTAKE. The rework I had...

A fellow member had posted this photo of a '62 Dart wagon pertaining to another topic. When I saw the rectangular steering wheel was surprised as I wasn't aware of this wheel being a stock item on the '62 Darts? Ma Mopar had these unique wheels for a few years; but didn't think they were on...

Anyone ever have an interior courtesy light go out and upon replacing the bulb it doesn’t work and trying another bulb in case that new one might be bad and still doesn’t work? Ok, no kiddin. Bad socket or wiring connections to it right? It is one of those teeny bulbs inset into a molded...

Sorry for the doom & gloom post. I’m dealing with the final resting place for my folks and their beloved pets cremated remains after some 8-years, since my mother passed on. Her wish was to be laid to rest with her pets. This complicates things a bit. They’ve been residing upstairs. Anyway, my...

Few years ago had hunted down wheels and tires to upgrade my car. Most concerned with clearance for the fronts, come to find that after getting the car on a rack going to 15” Magnum’s and P235/60 fit with no issues. Likely more clearance. With the larger wheel and lower profile tire, the overall...

Thought I posted something about this a while back; but couldn’t find it. Bought a Milwaukee weed trimmer two years ago to finally drop the old ones. Did this for my wife when she doesn’t like my routine (not trimming often enough sometimes). She would always have trouble starting them with her...

I posted a thread on this back in 2019 and given my issue now, thought I’d post a new one. I have a Craftsman 10” saw that’s maybe 45 years old, it’s the model that was issued a recall to obtain upgraded guarding and later, a small payment if you disabled the machine, no longer providing...

Looking to buy this Walabot stud finder, well my kids are wanting to get me a Christmas gift. Looks quite worthy as far as the reviews I’ve read. I’ve got two Zircon finders and have found those to be miss & hits to my irritation over the years. Last one I bought was an upscale model that didn’t...

Ever donated something you soon discovered you could use? I frequently donate stuff and with all the chit I have laying around, I’m amazed I have tons more stuff to get rid of. Couple weeks ago, I took a bunch of stuff to the ‘Restore’, as they’re called in my area, Habitat for Humanity stores...

I’m scheduled for this procedure in a couple weeks and have some of the scoop; but I’d like to ask those who have gone through it about their experiences and advice. Right eye is worse than the left, but they’ve scheduled both a couple weeks apart. Hear that there are a couple of lens options...

Have a favorite radio station I have tuned in on my garage stereo. Plays all rock/pop tunes from the mid-50’s to end of the 60’s. Local station that started up about three years ago. Few commercials and they play old commercials in the mix. Except starting TODAY, they play non-stop Christmas...

Thought I would post about strange noises from my ’05 Dakota in case anyone has encountered this. Dakota forum hasn’t been fruitful as has my shop looking it over. After returning from a 400 mile round trip, the noise has gotten much worse, ugly sounding. Started with a subtle ticking/rattling...

This isn’t new – news; but is to me catching an article on it. A remake of the 1983 flick has been in the works for a while now announced in June 2021. Likely delays with covid and the actor’s strike. I liked the movie, thought it was done well considering a limited budget. The camera work...
