    Carlisle Tent Activities 2025 - Volunteers Needed!

    When we started the FBBO tent activities quite a few years ago, we were hoping to expand the tent size and encourage site members to get together and have a good time. I am happy to note that we have been extremely successful doing that. Once @Pistol Pete got involved the food became awesome...

    Warning: Dealership Rant!

    My 2020 Ram has been trouble free with 45,000 miles on it so far. But then, the right exhaust manifold cracked and it had to be fixed. This is a common flaw with the 5.7 Hemi (at least in trucks). So I brought it in the dealer to fix this under warranty plus do a state inspection. They called me...

    HawkRod's new driver - Warning: Non Mopar content!

    I'll try to tell a story and channel a bit of @moparedtn although I'll never do stories as good as Ed.... So when I got back from my 2022 drive across country I was driving my 73 Road Runner quite a bit - using it like an (almost) daily driver. I found that I really enjoyed driving a classic...

    WTB Any model builders out there? Painting wanted.

    My father-in-law has a real deal Z-11 1962 bubble top Bel Air race car. It runs a 409 and is his pride and joy - he drives it now at nostalgic races and such. Anyway, I found the matchbox size model pictured below. Can the model above be painted to match his actual car (see pictures below)...

    SOLD {FOUND}: Mopar Stage VI heads Adapter Plates for 440 OR Stage VI Intake Manifold

    Found and purchased. This thread no longer valid. I am building my buddy's 440 (RB) big block. We have a set of Stage VI aluminum heads. However, when used with a 440, it is my understanding that adapter plates are needed between the heads and the intake manifold - OR - a special Stage VI...

    Bad fuel messed up valves?

    So I have had a strange sequence of events and wanted to post about them here and see what the FBBO brain trust thinks... Background: I have owned a 15 HP Exmark Lazer Z industrial walk behind mower for 22 years. The mower has been flawless for all those years with zero mechanical issues - just...

    A Tribute to a Car

    This thread is dedicated to my first car that I just recently sold. First of all, I will try to channel my inner @moparedtn and tell a story here. I'm sure it won't be near as good as his are, but hopefully folks will enjoy it. Secondly, @PlymCrazy posted a thread awhile back cataloging cars...

    Please School me on A/C Tools

    I need to work on the A/C systems for at least two different cars. I am tired of (a) leaving my car with unknown shops and (b) paying big dollars for A/C work. So I want to get the tools I need so I can work on A/C repairs myself. Previously, I have just shoved cans of R134a into the system with...

    Our Own FBBO "Power Tour" Mopar Car Tour

    Should we do a FxBO mini tour? So I took a quick informal poll at the FBBO tent at Carlisle to see if members would be interested in doing a little Mopar tour that we managed on our own. Some had fun calling it the HawkRod Power Tour, but I think Hot Rod magazine might have issue with that...

    Cars that would have been cool, EXCEPT...

    We can find small "nits" on almost any car, but there are lots that are really well done. It's hard to argue with the design of a 68 Charger or a 63 split window Corvette. Likewise, there are cars that are just plain ugly. Remember the AMC Pacer and the Pontiac Aztek? But then there are some...
