I might have to look into a STRONG magnet mounted holder. I have tried a few kinds to mount a tablet in my '86 GN, I use it to display various engine parameters and monitor any detonation. I mounted a smooth metal plate in front of the shifter on the console and tried the suction cup type of...

I'm always wondering how best to "store" tires that are already installed on the car, concerned about flat-spotting them if the car sits for 75% of the year, or even many years. Is it better to jack the car up on stands if it's going to have mounted tires installed and not drive for extended...

One idiot friend of mine tossed a CO2 cartridge from a pellet gun into a campfire. Everyone vacated the area but nothing happened for a good while. We'd almost forgot about it when it finally exploded, that was quite a bang.

Welcome from Edmonton, AB, Merv.

Since we're guessing...manual choke pull-off?

I believe '69 RR shocks would be the same as for a '70 Charger. You might find this topic I made an interesting read. I went with Sachs 030816 front shocks from RockAuto as they're affordable and well-reviewed. Made a shocking discovery

Great picture from back in the day! I see what looks like a blue 4-door 1968 Monaco similar to one I used to own, the 6th car parked on the right side.

Nice '69 500, you don't see those every day!

Here is another important bit of info I can share...many Canadians buying vintage parts from USA aren't aware that parts for vehicles 25 years or older are EXEMPT from Customs duties and fees. You only need to pay the GST. Most Canada Border Services Agents don't know this either, and I had a...

I was thinking I shouldn't drink so much while browsing the forum...

Looking forward to pics! Why did you sell the '68 Charger only to look to replace it? Going for a big block maybe?

Very nice '70 Charger. I'm intrigued by your take on the front grille. I've seen a big-buck resto-mod of an all-black Charger with a similar treatment, but lacking the pop-up headlights, which is an all-important feature of the second-gen Chargers. I wouldn't say I'm a fan of having the...

Speaking to technology making us dumber...have you paid for something in cash lately, and watch the dumbfounded cashier's face try to do the math on the change? That generation has gotten far too used to debit, phone pay and credit card payments.

Me too, and I've read of others. So I don't think one side wears out more frequently, it can happen to either hinge.

Thanks for posting this topic. My '70 Charger hood has the same problem. It was fine for years sitting in my garage, opening/closing the hood many times. It went for body and paint last winter and the hood was removed to be painted, then reinstalled. Since then, it does the exact same thing, it...

Very nice. That's a lot of orange!

I wonder how many cars could survive a 100 mph crash?

I have to say the move to lighted sidemarkers in 1970 was a less-than-optimal, almost dumb, design idea. Especially the fronts. To simply change a front sidemarker bulb, you had to unbolt the sidemarker assembly, unscrew the fragile plastic lens, and try to push-twist out the bulb from the...

What made them worse was they were a rough-cast aluminum between the fins. You needed a strong chemical AND a couple toothbrushes to clean those SoB's.

Sure, but a twin turbo LS7 swap is just sacrilege to the original platform. Plop that in ANYTHING and it'll be faster, for sure. Meh...
