    Anyone Ever Traded Cars?

    Around 2001 or so I traded my 68 Dart for a 70 Charger. The Dart had a rollbar, original paint, a 440 transplant, and ran 12's. The Charger also had a original paint and was a column shift plain jane 383 2bbl car. We were both ready for a change and were happy with the deal (even after it was...

    A Cave Man Catches a Ride With George Jetson

    Well, I got a ride in a Tesla Model Y Dual Motor with sport package last night... and it changed my perspective. I see why people like these things. It was very comfortable, handled great, and was very snappy. Reportedly a 12.5 quarter, 155 mph top speed and a 300 mile range and will charge up...

    Gee Why Is My Shipping Taking So Long?

    Hilarious FedEx shipping update. Parts originated in OR and I am in WA. Now in NJ. Another week and on the moon?

    To Un-Hot Rod A Car Or Not?

    In the not-so far future I am going to be giving one of my cars to the kid of a prior owner. It has a 440/727 with Eddy Performer cam and intake, mildly worked 906's, Holley 750 vacuum secondary, hooker headers, and a 150 plate nitrous system. It's not a race car as it is heavy with 3.23. gears...

    Chrome In A Can?

    Almost. In the past, these have all sucked and been nowhere near chrome, but I tried this one on whim and it's pretty decent. A good product for budget projects. I did some arm rest bases and at a glance most people I doubt will even notice.

    Classic Industries on a Diet?

    Just got my Catalog M224X and it is looking much leaner than the previous M222. It looks like every section has been trimmed down to fighting weight. I'm not sure if there is actually less stuff in it yet?

    C eh, N eh, D eh.

    A long early morning drive to the Mopar gathering, the rumble of a 440, a clear road ahead through the backroads, and an ominous red sun signaling the approaching wildfire smoke. It's a good day here, but wishing safety to our northern brothers.

    Three of Your Old School Hot Rod Hero's?

    ... and why. For the sake of thread readability, please keep it brief ! These three guys have pictures posted in my shop to inspire me: 1. Richard Petty. The one and original..... took his family hobby and made it his entire life. An absolute legend... and one of the most personable guys you'd...

    From the files of "Things You Cannot Control"

    As of today, the spouse has crashed 6 of the 8 cars she has ever had, one of them twice. No drink/drug driving either, just the worst driver on the planet. This time making a turn into a driveway... no, not from the curb lane, but from the from the second lane over. DUH! Thankfully, she has...

    Insurance (Robbery) Time

    Cars are another year older, no violations for years, proposed 6-mo rate up 24% for an 18 year old Ram and a 6 year old Honda. Other's also experiencing attempted robbery (Allstate)? I guess its time to shop again. Such a PITA.

    Veterinarian Care and Costs Way Up?

    We moved about 3 years ago and had to change vets because of this. Vet choices are limited here, and it has been impossible to find a vet with reasonable costs in our area. We just paid $700 to have our cat's teeth cleaned! The costs are high enough that it is contributing to our decision to go...

    MTD 1238 Drag Mower

    I needed a break from project rust bucket, so I decided to chop up this free mower I got. I was inspired by some internet pictures. Cost so far = zero, though I will need to spring for a new belt and probably a couple of tire tubes. I lost the mower deck, extended the wheelbase by a foot...
