    My wife did what?

    She sent me a text yesterday. "Do you want a '73 dart? 225 slant six. Boss wants it out of his garage". I went and looked at it last night. $2000.00 later and I have a new summer daily driver. It's safe in his heated garage until the snow is gone. Man is it clean. 80,000 miles. Here are...

    Unbelievable luck!

    These things are cool! The pictures don't show how awesome the colors are on the slides. They are obviously original. And the deck lid decals are so perfect. They look too perfect but at the same time they look old.

    What are you working on?

    Easy. It's not mine. A buddy if mine let my use it all last summer. I'm doing the maintenance before I return it. He asked me to do the rest while I'm there. I thought it was a fair trade.

    I found some time to spend in the garage. That time was divided between the valiant and 2n tractor repairs. The mini tubs are all fit up. I just need to remove the trunk support brackets and it's time to weld.

    Clecos!!! Today I got to use them again! I also used my contour gauge, air saw, various grinders and clamps. All in all my first attempt at minitubs is coming along nicely.

    Thank you. The term is more about me than anything. It keeps me laughing at myself because I always feel like I could have done a better job. I'm a bit critical of my own work.

    I welded the floor pan to the frame rails and ground the welds. I also cleaned all the old paint from the rails where the inner wheel house will be welded to it. Next weekend I'll fit the inner to the rails and start fabracobbling the filler panel to the two halves of the wheel house.

    More cutting. The other wheel house has been removed and the trunk floor has been cut and trimmed to size. Now some cleanup on the metal and the fabracobbling can begin. I need to trim the package tray supports but I need to fit the wheel houses first so I can determine where to cut them. I...

    It's been a few weeks but I finally found a couple of hours to spend on Stinky today. I'm committed now! :D I marked out the cut lines for the mini-tub portion of this shit show. I drilled out the spot welds and removed the right side inner wheel house.

    I These ramps are not permanently removed. They are designed to be remved and replaced. However I never use the ramps. I use them as jack stands. Usually under the tires on the front of my charger. I use them with jack stands on the front frame rails and a set on the rear axle. The front of...

    Garage heat... thermostat settings?

I would burn about 4 full cord a winter. Plus about two full cord in the summer with camping and the yard fire pit My new...

    Rusty's not very quiet cuda progress

    I love mine! Just remember to make sure its high enough to clear the sides and roof when you rotate it. Make sure to have help the first time you rotate it. Make sure its balanced well when you rotate it. It will roll with little effort when it is balanced correctly. Also, I was amazed at...
