    Sold one yesterday, buying one today

    Old mopars, that is. I sold a rolling body '68 2 door valiant yesterday, and I'm buying a '72 new yorker today. The '72 has a forged crank 440 in it, that I happen to know runs without knocking. I'd hope to save the car, but if I can't, it'll give up the 440 for my buddies '72 duster.

    Lisa's surgery went fine

    I can't remember if I posted anything here about the surgery she had scheduled for yesterday, but in any case it went fine. It was laparoscopic surgery to open up a blocked fallopian tube. I suggested a well-placed bottle rocket as a cheaper and faster way to achieve the same result. Oddly...

    Christmas Divorce

    Another one from cuda-challenger.com: An elderly man in Phoenix calls his son in New York and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough." "Pop, what are you talking about," the son screams. "We...

    Cheating wife

    I got this one from over at cuda-challenger.com: > A man, returning home a day early from a business trip, got into a taxi at the airport. It was after midnight. While en route to his home, he asked the cabby if he would be a witness. The man suspected his wife was having an affair and he...

    Check out my new trailer

    Hi all, With all the cars and trucks I have, I still have never owned a trailer-at least, not one larger than barely big enough to pull a riding lawnmower. I took some of the money I got selling that 440-6 challenger and bought myself a real trailer. It's what I call my DSC trailer...

    Anybody else here overclock?

    As in computers. I recently upgraded my video card, and found that my cpu was now the bottleneck in video performance. So, I got a bit more serious about overclocking the cpu. It turned out that the bios that came installed on my board had some bugs that didn't allow me to select certain...

    It's cooooooold here (for us anyway)

    The temperature is 21, and the windchill is 12. That's pretty damn cold for Alabama, especially mid-southern Alabama. Just the other day we had our first pretty chilly night, and the morning after my dually would not start without some help from the battery charger. One cycle of the grid...

    Ford parts must not be worth jack schit

    For the second time, my egay auction for the ported victor jr smallblock ford heads failed to meet reserve. I mean damn, they came straight off a motor that pushed a street fox body to low 11's on the motor and high-mid 9's on a 200 shot. SURELY they're worth more than $910, with the crane...

    A couple of quick jokes

    Why do women wear tampons when they go skydiving? So they won't whistle when they fall. How do you know when you're husband is dead? The sex stays the same, but the grass gets tall.

    Gonna do a little screet racing this weekend

    I replaced the manifold-to-turbo gasket, and put a new air filter on the truck. I'm gonna put a bottle back in the truck, and we'll see what it'll do. I think I was losing a little boost due to the leaky gasket, so hopefully it'll get that back and then some, since the weather is cooler...

    ford windsor smallblock victor jr heads

    Hi all, Gotta get rid of some of my non-mopar stuff. I have a set of edelbrock victor jr heads that came off the 393 stroker that was in the '91 mustang. They're in good shape, having been pulled off a running engine. They have been ported by bennett racing (a big ford engine shop), and...

    wontgetdusted's '72 duster progress

    Hi all, I've been working on John's duster with Randy, a buddy of mine who knows how to do bodywork. We're repairing the tailpanel right now, using parts of a tailpanel cut off a donor car. (the donor was screwed in other areas, we did not destroy a viable car to get a tailpanel.) Here...

    About to test drive the dually

    I finally have everything buttoned up after putting the transmission back in the dually. I even have the colossal oil spill cleaned up where I started it with the turbo off to hear what it sounds like through the open manifold! (note to self: Turbos have OIL SUPPLY HOSES, hoses that don't...

    The Jack Of Jesus

    Transmission jack, that is. I finally got the transmission back in the dually yesterday. I went and bought a $340-something dollar transmission jack, and it was worth every penny. I can put an average automatic in with a floor jack and a board, but the 5 spd for the dually weighs 250 lbs...

    One less dodge truck in the world

    I used to have a '78 1/2 ton /6 longbed dodge truck. I sold it to a guy, who traded it off for another truck, then I bought it back from the guy he traded it to. I then resold it to the 20 year old brother in law of my buddy John, who is wontgetdusted on here. No, the 20 year old didn't total...

    Surprise tornadoes not far from my house yesterday

    http://www.wsfa.com/Global/category.asp?C=88929 My wife and I were out of town yesterday, but two different people called me and told me about the damage. Apparently, at least one tornado formed very quickly. My ex-wife lives in saddleback ridge, the apartments that got damaged. I called...

    wontgetdusted is NOT a troll

    Ok folks, I gotta fess up. I really do know him-he's one of my closest friends. I made him look like a troll to get back at him for that smartass comment he left about me giving up $10k for lack of some used tires and argent wheel paint in my 440+6 challenger thread. At the time I read...
