    Chrysler at Carlisle; Carlisle, PA.; July 10th-13th

    Good luck with your recovery Eric! I don't want to minimize your dilemma but it reminds me of a story Herb McCandkess likes to tell. A few years ago he ended up in the hospital right before Carlisle. He was restricted to his room and the doctors told him he'd be there for awhile. Herb, being...

    FOR SALE Ball & Trunnion rebuild kit

    Complete rebuild kit including hard to find rubber bellows that contains the grease. This fits 1964-65 B and C bodies. I bought this a few years ago at Carlisle but it was too large to fit my 1965 A-body prop shaft. The brown things are sleeves holding the rollers in place and the splotchey...

    Recover your own seats.

    DO NOT buy cheap hog rings from Amazon. They are Chinesium imitations made from thinner gauge metal and are too short to work properly. Very frustrating. I ran short of the Legendary ones and needed some in a hurry. I did the front and rear seats in my 64 Valiant convertible and they are...

    Turn signal Dash Lights issue

    Try a Q-tip dipped in alcohol. *** My experience with LEDs so far: I replaced a tail/brake light in my 64 Valiant with the suggested replacement. The wattages must have been different because I soon noticed my perfect TL lens started to deform from the heat. I replaced the single rears with...

    Issues with Tic Tok Tac not working

    Same thing in my 69! It's just about impossible to read the 4 small gauges, even in broad daylight, but the clock is as white and legible as can be. In my case the speedo needle is broken off too so it's worthless. Adding up the cost to repair or replace everything ($800 for the 2 big gauges...

    Random Charger picture thread

    It's a Summit car cover. Unfortunately the counter jockey talked me into buying a larger one than recommended by the mfr. I did make it to both shows though.

    1968 Dodge Charger Suspension Paint

    No offense intended to anyone but I bought RPM at the Mopar Nats about 5 yrs ago. I was hoping it would preserve the natural finish on bare parts. It's like a wax for bare metal parts. No doubt it probably lasts longer in places like CA, TX, or AZ, but here in Ohio, things were rusting already...

    1968 Dodge Charger inside the Engine Well

    Definitely NOT painted body color as they were installed after car was painted. Every original I've seen were rusted. If it were me I'd go with black phosphate.

    1969 Charger Headlight doors

    Makes sense. Otherwise the system would go to atmosphere with the engine off. Thanks.

    Does the original vacuum canister have a check valve? Could this be a viable replacement? CA X2554 CA Headlight Vacuum Reservoirs | Summit Racing

    Whats the longest you've waited for parts?

    I ordered a used item from a FABO member in NY state and it took almost 4 weeks to arrive. It was promptly shipped USPS (post office) and they routed it to Massachusetts, then I think Connecticut, then Missouri, then to Indianapolis where it sat for 2 weeks. Finally it arrived in Ohio, only 2...

    1970 4 door Satellite

    The first few years of the Adam 12 TV series featured 4 door Plymouth B-bodies. 1968 through I believe 1971 models. Belvederes not the upscale Satellite like you have. It's interesting to see them in action when they were new and they switched to AMC Matadors after that. I think I'd concentrate...

    1969 Charger Headlight doors

    Thanks a lot for that! I actually sketched up a schematic last week based on what I knew and deduced. (I'm retired Mech Eng and over the years worked on some hydraulic systems) If my actuators operate and the switch parts are usable, I should be able to get them working after fixing the broken...

    1969 Charger Headlight doors

    This helps me a lot! I'm dealing with my "new" 1969 Charger trying ti get things fixed. A previous owner had stripped the interior of this car and a LOT of other components to make it into a "racecar". The HL vacuum hoses are cut off at the firewall, the vacuum reservoir is gone, and the hoses...
