Well heck, how in the world does a simple, easy 1/2 day drive get turned into a mess? I dont know but it can and did for me. Was the craziest trip I've ever taken (NOT that kinda trip!). Started out simple, go out to Garden City and get my '70 Polara I put a deposit on. No motor or trans but...

But I've posted about it, when you LEAST expect one to pop up, they do. When you're not even on the hunt and cant afford one, BOOM, there the deal of the century lands right in your lap. Then you have to sacrifice a bit to get it but dang that was a great deal! :bwuhaha: I'm talkin cars here...

OK guys, Am getting ready to pull the drivetrain out of the Dakota shortbed I just bought. Its a 2.5 4-banger backed by a 5 speed. The little sucker runs, smokes worse than a diesel pulling out with a wide load when I rev it, but it runs. TBI engine, not the magnum one. 5 speed missing two...

Oh yeah, I had a wonderful trip today. Got a late start for starters, but I made it there on time, barely. But anyway, I started out on a bad note, got loaded and I guess there was more weight in the back than I thought. The trailer started swaying. I tried to get it under control, bout was...

Hey all, Got bored this afternoon parting out an '80 Gran Fury (REar T-bar crossmember was a PITA to remove even unbolted!), and decided to do some boneyard hunting. Went to one that I knew had a '71 Dart 4-dr complete with decent frontend (needed for the Demon). Got up there, he thought he'd...

Well guys, that topic was a humerous attempt at saying I drug a shell off, picked up another, and dang near had a bird into my windshield! Was going to haul a Volare 4-dr off but I found the belt on my dads compressor busted :mad: . Had it loaded with junk and everything, I just needed to...

OK guys, I had to do some car moving around today and while it doesnt sound crazy, the way it was done was. Got me to thinking about some of the other crazy stunts that I've pulled while working on cars, and I lugh about em now. Here goes: Once tried to push a dead car onto the ramps with my...

Hey all, on the 440 6 pack challenger post in 'roids, a member posted that '71 was the only year to have flat top pistons. Bong, nope! I tore apart my 360 out of a '72 Truck (factory motor, re-rung and bearinged), it had the flat tops. Motor has a casting date of 6-1-71, definitley out of a...

Even though it aint much of one! Lately I have just been putting stuff into it that I didnt want wet, or to get it out of the way, engines, trannies, a lot of little parts and pieces stuffed into that sucker. Well, I pulled the 360 out of the '72 LWB yesterday and hauled it off I needed...

OK guys, since this is Show and Tell, I'll put up a post about my '85. No pics but I'll get that dang camera working tomorrow and hopefully snap some. For now, its details. Truck is a 1985 Dodge D-150 Royal SE Prospector LWB. White with a blue interior. Bought it with a 318 in it that was...

Hey all, Why is it that with some projects you take a couple steps forward then 3 or 4 back? Well, this exhaust on the '85 is that way. When I put the motor and trans together and dropped it in, I had the center dump manifolds off the Club Cab the 360 came out of. No biggie, I've got a...

OK guys, This ones kinda funny, after the fact, and no, no Mopars were hurt during this process! I pulled my '85 that I just dropped the 360 into onto the front lawn to free up some driveway space on Thursday (to work on my mom's Chebby S-Blazer, go figure :shifty:). Well, it ran out of gas...

Hey all, I've had this '85 D-150 longbed sitting out back for some time, with a broke 318 (long story). Bought it running and driving from the JY for $700. New tires, a lot of Re-man stuff. Guy couldnt get it to pump fuel on its own so he put in an electric inline pump which would flood it...

Car is SOLD!

Hey all, Looks like me and a Buddy are going to be building A-Bodies at the same time. He is building a '75 Duster and I'm going to be building my '71 Demon. We pretty much want the same thing, corner carvers, but cars we can drive daily. I'm not sure of his plans as of yet but I've got a few...

Strange, very strange. Helped a Buddy all day today, we were going to load his Duster up from another guys yard today, but it was muddy. Buddy told me about a '70-ish Newport in that yard that supposedly had a 440. Wasnt bad but had been sitting, for $1k. Well, I looked at the car today. I...

Well, actually one never left, I just got it back from a buddy. Its a '71 Demon that WAS a slant six car, no motor or trans, front clip also gone. Field car actually. I traded a Truck to my buddy for that one, cause I am putting together my '85 for tow duty. I've figured out a plan for it...

Hey all, Got a Car hauled to the scrapper today, didnt really want to, but I decided to pull just a few pieces off it and send it away. It was just a '76 Fury 4-dr anyway with a locked 318. Had plans, but found it had rust issues. Anyway, thats not the gist of it. Was going to use my Dads '75...

OK guys, Ever since I got the '78 Salon, they knew it was the low mile one and they said they had the title. Its a salvage/dealership with a lot of cars. I got it about 2 weeks ago, they were crushing and had no time to look. Fast forward about that same amount of time, still the same answer...

Well guys, Making some decent progress on the Fury. Its been sitting in a Salvage yard for a long time, they drove it down there because it had lean burn issues and couldnt sell it. I hauled it out of there, threw a battery at it and primed it, it ran well! But, the brakes were locked up and...
