So every unibody car with a fulll roll cage (which is not only for safety but adds a LOT of rigidity) will tear itself apart at the spot welds? :rofl: He knows his stuff most of the time but wrong on that. I can`t watch his videos though, every one is 30+ minutes of rambling when he could have...

The recorders now have battery back up but this being an older model didn`t have them.

It will be tough without the recorders but the investigation teams are incredibly good at finding causes 99% of the time.

I agree nothing should be excluded but we more info before coming to any conclusions or even theories. I am not sure how South Korea is in regards to trying to keep things from the public but hopefully the NTSB has enough credibility and safe guards in place to tell us the true cause(s).

Makes no sense, why not just nose dive the plane into the water or ground, was the bird strike just a lucky coincidence to do a go around? Not sure why the recorders quit working but I doubt the crash was intentional.

W is for both Coronet and Charger, the 29 i.d.s it as a two door which means it`s a Charger.

Ok so I understand the other areas on the frame rails being caved in as they are commen jacking points but why here behind the axle? Stupid previous owners or mechanic! I guess I should have inspected them better before I welded in the trunk pan as it would have been easier to beat out, oh well...

Following as I need both bumpers for my road runner project re-chromed at some point.

I had an `83 Mustang GT I bought brand new - all black, 5.0 manual transmission, it was a quick, fun little car. I went sideways in second gear many times but never wrecked or almost took out any pedestrians. :p As for a car that has 800+ HP, goes 10.80 and 203mph where can you go other than a...

My first car, a `68 Chevelle SS was a 396 4 spd with light blue bucket seat interior. It was painted a dark metallic blue and had a white vinyl roof and I`m not sure but I would guess it was originally a medium or light blue. Of course it had Cragars in back, air shocks with G60`s and chrome...

I`d be happy driving either one of these or something similar -

The guy I bought it off had at least one other Chevelle and a few other Chevys in his yard in various stages of repair, my guess is he pulled the 396/4 spd for one of his other cars and just thru in the 307/ powerglide to sell the `68. In hindsight the 307 probably saved my life as being a 17 yr...

My first car was a '68 Chevelle SS 396 / 4 spd that some previous owner put a 307 / power glide in - slow but looked cool so I have a soft spot for them. If there were no Mopars I'd be a Ford guy - any '67-73 fastback Mustang, '68- 71 Torino and a few others. If I had to narrow it down it would...

Third and last caved in frame rail repaired, somehow the passenger front escaped the wrath of all the previous owners floor jacks. :rolleyes: On to zapping up the holes from the self tapping screws used to hold the floor pan down tight and continue cleaning up the rest of the original floor and...

or 2023 or 2022 - never enough time or money and everything always seems t take longer than you want!

Only 4? While I have driven my Barracuda well into December some years that is pretty rare even with this "climate change" BS. Usually don`t drive the classics from mid November to mid April so 4 1/2 - 5 months or some years even longer. But when the time comes - :p

I have a list of things to do on my `72 Barracuda including painting and installing an AAR hood but since this is a B-body page I won`t bore you with the other stuff. My `70 road runner is currently on the rotisserie getting the underside cleaned up and painted, then it can go on jack stands for...

I`ve only been on a few airplane trips from Boston - a twin prop to Long Island back in the `80`s, vacations to Aruba, to Orlando (Disney), and Tennessee, I also did one ride in a helicopter in and out of a Nascar race at Loudon. I`ve never liked or felt safe any time I am in the air as for me...

No ones blaming the pilots just stating stats and trends of other accidents with that aircraft, pilots perform some amazing, heroic saves as well. Boeings recent issues wouldn`t affect these older models unless they find they go way back as well but so far I haven`t heard that is the case...

Out of all the ones with known causes listed very few are issues with the aircraft design/engineering or build quality. I worked in the aerospace industry as a machine shop inspector for a few years during my career and learned a lot about the procedures to insure safety. One of my instructors...
