"This design reduces the barrier to entry significantly because the most difficult engineering and fabrication has been taken care of, leaving the matter of building three mounts, two for the motor and one for the tail shaft, to you."  I'm sorry, apparently I misread/misunderstood this, as I thought that you would be able to bolt this right up?! So, apparently, IF I were to consider this swap, I'd still be faced with some fabrication. No thanks! ... View more

I swapped a 340 c.i. V-8 into a 1969 Dodge Sportsman A-100 window van. It was a real 'Q' ship after the heart transplant!! 🙂 ... View more

Alternate universe, indeed! The Mustang doesn't look too radical; just enough difference to make one take a good look! The elimination of that  reversed scoop behind the door is an improvement.  The Chevy on the other hand, looks more like a Ford product. In fact, if not for the bow tie on the font grille of the 20 series "Bonanza",  at first glimpse I'd have sworn it was a Ford!   ... View more

The aftermarket fender skirts on the Beetle have one of, if not the best designs and fit that I've ever seen. They have the OEM look, unlike some others which don't quite match body lines, or look like a blister on the bodywork. ... View more

Enjoyed your story, as some/most of it applies to me! Currently, I am in the process of purging my garage of accumulated Mopar parts. I stared by selling off cars, and now I need to get rid of parts, some used, some NOS. The realization that age and time wait for no one, and dreams deferred too long simply don't happen should be an eye opener. The time involved in a quest to recoup $$$ spent can delay the process! I feel for my younger brother, who unfortunately fits the description of a hoarder to a "T", (and sadly, doesn't realize it/refuses to accept it)! ... View more

I agree with Carguy53 on the wheels, I'm not impressed with them at all (aside from the fact that I prefer chrome/machined finishes). It occurred to me that with all of the ongoing personalization, it seems that the use of "camouflage" to disguise upcoming chances serves to pique the interest of the causal observer. If the car were unmasked, it would probably draw a lot less attention. Maybe unrealistic, I know, but just a thought. ... View more

This is one of only five drive ins currently operational in Georgia. It sports six screens and also functions as a flea market as well.  (see link)   https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60898-d1743109-Reviews-Starlight_Six_Drive_In-Atlanta_Georgia.html ... View more

I always enjoy reading about the behind the scenes events that produce things which have a cultural impact. I saw the original movie in the theater, and upon leaving, it seemed that almost everyone had to burn a little rubber leaving!  I've seen it several times since, and always enjoy watching it. I saw the re-make and was not impressed. Anytime that I see the title listed in a TV guide, I always check to see if (hoping that) the original is going to be shown, only to be disappointed. No one could re-create the "genius" of Toby Haliicki! 🙂 ... View more
