Over our Canadian Thanksgiving weekend I finally had a chance to take my Mother In-Law out for a cruise in the Coronet....I'd promised her back around Mothers day that I would but weather, work, holidays and schedules never aligned to make it happen. Beautiful day for October and...

Guess I've been a bad influence on my soon to be Son-in-Law.. He decided recently that he wanted a 1st or maybe a 2nd gen so he has been trying to find one within his budget, and I have been looking as well. Well I sent him a link to a pair of 1st gen's about a 4.5hr drive from my place that I...

Did an oil change on Patches 4 days ago and every day I've used it going to and from work I have been getting a hot, burning oil smell from under the hood. I don't have any visible new oil leaks, none that have not been there for quite some time, but I can't determine where it's coming from...

OK so now that Christmas and the holiday season is over I can start getting to the 4 post lift. First off is one of the pulley shafts got bent...not sure if the reason for the retirement of the lift, or maybe happened during disassembly, or perhaps when we were loading it and all the columns...

Well time to get started on the history of my car, I'll be going back a couple years and explain how I ended up with the coronet. So it was around 1990 and I had just got my driver license and my brother was working a Ford Dealership called William Clark Ford. I was looking to buy an old car...

I went to pick up a 1979 Vanguard camper that I'm going to be using...it's an 11' unit with a small bathroom, stove, furnace, hot water etc....and in decent shape for it's age. But since I didnt have any camper bars on my truck I had to load it on my trailer. Then once home I had to figure...

This is the one car I restored with virtually no expense spared. I sold it back around 2000/2001 when we had one young child and second on the way, so the car reluctantly went up for sale to pay off dept so we could afford our first home. Fast forward to around March 2020 when I was...

We used to get some quality Honey Garlic wings through our local Costco, but they changed vendors of this product and since then they were not even in the same ball park. We tried several different manufacturers of pre-made wings and just couldn't find anything we liked...and the last ones we...

Well after watching a for sale ad for a couple of Ramchargers pop up on and off for a year or more I finally decided to go check them out in person. Hummed and hawed and eventually convinced myself I needed them. ;) So I then had to scramble to clear a section of my acreage to store my "junk"...

Came across this car a week or so ago, mostly complete 68 300 2dr with a 440/auto, power drums brakes, power windows, rear defogger. Guy was selling it cheap...$650 cdn for the car, but no registration or papers. Thought it would be a good parts car for my 68 T/C wagon, and perhaps the whole...

Scavenged an old gun safe, it's about 10" deep, 21" wide by 56" tall, nice heavy duty metal but I can't think of what to use it for....add more shelves for storage, or cut it down and make it into something more useful? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Saw this on the shelf and knew I had to have it...knew it was a 46-48 Chrysler Town and Country, but WHAT is it?

the 71 Superbee has been one of my dream cars since very early days of getting into mopars, and I'm now kind of in the position to purchase one. My absolute dream car I would consider selling internal organs for would be a 1971 Super Bee in F8 green with ramcharger hood and hideaway...

Was near the thrift store today so as always had to run in and see what treasures they might have. Well today was a very good day... Millers Falls Tools 3/8 electric drill, model 414. Works fine except the trigger is stuck on. Paid $15 Cdn for it!:bananadance: Now I have not been able...

I picked up an old Craftsman radial arm saw for free a while back, had been left out in the elements for a number of years. I have been working on getting everything cleaned up and working as it should and have only one area I can not get working again. It's the arms left and right movement...

Was cutting some metal with the old Dewalt and a cut-off wheel, the blade caught and sent the grinder across the shop floor, smashing and banging along the way. Smashed the blade up so went to spin it off but the blade lock would no longer work, and now there is a bunch of resistance and a...

Hey Doc this one is a 440/4spd and originally an A4 car....now Rape Grape...:( https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/dodge/charger/2050051.html#&gid=1&pid=52 Little spendy though.... 😳

Hey Doc came across a 71 Charger in A4 silver on FB...I use the wifes account so don't want to post a link, but it is in Silverton OR. Pic.. Text...

Doc's little heart check almost loosing his Vin and the comment about getting pulled over with no decal reminded me of what happened last summer to myself and Patches. I work Graveyards, 4pm to 4am and had finished work and was driving home, the yard is outside town a little ways so some long...

Came across this today and thought I would share it with everyone. If you are using Google chrome web brower you can download this and it will allow you to see the pics in the threads....supposedly? I do not use google chrome so can not confirm if this works or not...
