Thread regarding Xerox Corp. layoffs
Actually it’s $1.25 at the Dollar Tree now so you can’t even buy a candy bar at this point!

Dash plastic piece warped
The black plastic decorative dash piece that goes above the glovebox on my 69 charger has a warp in it out towards the drivers side end. Other than that, the piece is good and re useable. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to straighten it back up? I was debating very carefully warming the spot with a hair dryer and then weighting the area flat and letting it cool.
If you were to leave the USA what country would you emigrate to?
My ancestors are from Germany, Sweden, and Norway. Germany is almost as bad as the US policy wise right now, and might be in worse shape. Sweden I fear is half full of crazy people, but I would want to check it out. Norway's countryside is extremely similar climate and atmosphere to where I live now. Germanic tribe ancestry in the northern part of Europe has never been conquered.

Blue Oval Treachery!!
#10 460 auto on the column, bench seat. It’s already got power front discs and power steering. 8” rear with drums out back. Clearly it was not delivered this way and I wanted a bone stock truck but these mods are stock-ish.
Vacuums - as in the "cleaning the carpets" kind - for cars?
#1 moparedtn I got your Staff Member riiiight heeeere... The wife has tasked me with finding us (meaning her) a new vacuum cleaner for use in the cars. She'd had it with the sort of dustbuster type we have now (and I agree); further, cannister types like shop vacs are out, too. She basically wants as small a one as possible that is still able to have flexible attachments that get down into the crevices beside seats and such - and is very maneuverable in a cramped two-car garage.

Gas can pour spouts?
Anyone have a good remedy for these present pieces of crap?? I found what's called the Garage Boss that advertise a better spout but haven't seen or used one. https://www.tpgplastics.com/products And no, I'm not advertising for them but looking for something that doesn't require 3 arms and a leg to use!!

Michigan to Carlisle?
#4 Dave, We could pick it up, I know where Joe lives in Grand Ledge, Mich. I would rather pick it up at I69 in Potterville at the highway. I would meet him at the Shell station there. I probably will not get out of here till 8pm tonight. Let us know what you think. Probably take this to a private conversation. Hey, thanks Joel for the honor!!!!!!!
Another Barn Find!!!
#3 There's no "there" there. They've got a picture (may or may not be theirs) and they've written some quick text to go with it, none of which appear to actually contain anything specific to either those particular cars, their location or owner(s), etc. Heck, there's not even a link to any more tangible information.... I consider such websites "leeches". Don't care for 'em - and there's a lot like them out there.
Panther Pink Fuel Injection System.
Killshot EFI - Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Originally an April Fool's joke on our social media, the Pink Killshot EFI System turned into an actual product after so many people responded so positively to it and requested we start selling a Pink version; a true ode to our commitment to doing business "for the people." But our commitment to people doesn't stop there.
Carlisle parts N135-136
I'm looking to generate a little interest ahead of time for the FBBO guys walking the Carlisle swap meet. (I posted this on FABO as well but edited it for here.) I'll be setting up early PM Thursday and will be there through Sunday when it starts clearing out. I try to bring clean, usable stuff and price it to move. Read through the list below to get an idea but feel free to ask if I might have something specific.

Some highlights from Packard Proving Grounds show 5-5-24
Have to say my favorite was the legit 68 Hemi RR, looking rough but having all the most important stuff still on it. The amber headlights made me wonder if it wasn't originally from metro Detroit as it was a popular thing around here. I started this youtube channel back in May using my old internet handle (that someone else who hardly ever posts uses here, so I can't use it! LOL ) .

Married 44 years today!
Woke up today and we were doing our regular things in the morning. About 11am I hear Oh my god we've been married 44 years! Our daughter emailed congratulations. Been lucky to be married to my wife. We didn't start with much, but made through some rough bumps. Built our house and 2 weeks before first mortgage payment went on strike 13 weeks. That turned into lemonade got a lob at another company making $5.50 more an hour. Several other bumps that end going our way.
Kinky Friedman...
Saw him many years ago. He was the warmup band for Mott the Hoople in 1973 in KC. Had to look it up to remember who they appeared with. I’m not sure I was familiar with him at the time but turned out that I remember he was pretty good and real entertaining. RIP Kinky Friedman.
WIW, post 1968 Charger RT
Ok, Its not mine but I built it about 8-10 years ago or so. Real 1968 Charger RT, real 440, 4psd dana car. Based on body color we found under the window channels , trunk lip etc etc I can guarantee its a real Real EE1 blue 440 4spd dana car, black interior was changed to white. But no build sheet or fender tag to back that up. So its my word only. Car had a good bit of sheetmetal replaced. Quarters, trunk floor, extensions. rear valance and corner caps.
For Sale *Not Mine* 68 Coronet R/T ebay
The main reason for posting this is very interesting due to the 100710 vin sequence along with the 8/11/67 spd. This had to be built on one of the first days (if not the very first) of production for the '68 model year. 1968 Dodge Coronet | eBay

4 Speed Tranny Issue
I have two b bodies both with 4 speed manual. Both trannies were opened up were gone though professionally. Both were reinstalled in the two cars. One car will pop out of third gear all the time and the other will pop out of second gear all the time. I may have put 100 or so miles on the trannies since they have been gone through I assume I can adjust the shifter linkage either by disconnecting off of tranny and turning linkage either clock wise or counter clock wise.

Miss Alabama
#1 Was she was crowned Miss Alabama because she ate the whole state? #2 #3 ENOUGH of this bullshit of glorifying the mediocre and mainstream of society. Pageants, competitions and contests used to celebrate the ones that were above the average, better than the rest. I'm tired of the reverse of shaming. Instead of rewarding the best for their excellence, the fat, the slow, the tranny freaks get their time in the spotlight despite them being substandard.
Thoughts on this 1970 Super Bee on Hemming's?
#1 DynaBro Well-Known Member #2 Thoughts? You don’t want my thoughts. #3 [/URL] Seems to be one of the better deals on the market recently. Assume that's a crate HEMI from the air cleaner. What do you guys think? See anything problematic right away? Other than the ugly red, I mean. This kind of post needs to include at least some of the pictures, as well as some of the text from the ad. Even HMN ad links go dead and then this thread will be useless in the future. ___________ He's asking $69,000...
Pollen season
Looks like pine pollen here about 2 months ago. Yellow rain. Big stuff. Doctors say the big stuff is just an irritant. It's the small stuff you dont see so much that causes allergies. Maybe that's like life? My will says it's the little things that drive you crazy.
Spent the weekend in the hospital
#1 Yeah that was fun. Wednesday I started having numbness in my left arm and figured I just slept on it wrong and it would go away. It didn’t and found myself in the emergency room Saturday morning. I give them credit they had me in fast and hooked up to all the gadgets. Had a cat scan, MRI, and multiple ultrasounds. Doctor said it was a TIV, Transient Ischemic Attack.or mini stroke. They found one vein in my neck with about 30% blockage.

Rear end swap
#1 I have a 1969 Dodge Coronet 440 with an 8 1/4 rear end. I want to replace it with an 8 3/4 rear end, so that I can have the center section. Can anyone advise what year rear end will bolt right in that will have the correct spring perch location. Are the 8 3/4 housings longer or close to the same length as the 8 1/4. Just thinking about the wheel and tires. Will it push the wheel location out, bring them in closer to the center?
Thunderbirds today.
#1 SteveSS Well-Known Member It's graduation day at the US Air Force Academy. The Thunderbirds practiced yesterday and the main show is today. They have a valley between the Rocky Mountains on the west and an upsweep on the east. I live at the top of that upsweep. I-25 runs through the valley and it's illegal to stop on the interstate and watch the show but people still do. Sometimes when they fly over, I'm close enough to see the pilots. The guest of honor this year is Kamala Harris.

1969 charger tail panel color
#3 Thanks. My car was repainted i the 70s. Im guessing they got rid of the black tail panel then. I thought the strip delete package removed the black out tail light panel as well.

Where to stay in carlisle when towing a trailer?
#1 Nxcoupe FBBO Gold Member I did search and found nothing newer than 2014, so I'll ask, where is a good place to stay if you are towing a trailer? I don't want to risk driving this old 66 that far so I'm going to unload it at the motel and drive it for the weekend or until it breaks. Lol. Any experiences are appreciated. #2 I'll just say some motels...... have an overflow lot normally adjacent to their car parking lot.

Shout out to Delta V
As a prodigious picker of low hanging fruit, Wayne has graciously bestowed upon me a highly coveted '66 Charge in impeccable condition and for that I thank him immensely. But as they say on televion, but wait, there's more . Also included was a beautiful '70 Challenger, reminiscent of one I used to own, which will now probably cost me 50K as I'll be trolling FEBO to see what's for sale.
Pontiac Tojan?
#1 Ghostrider 67 Jack Stand Racer #6..and proud of it! If you tell someone all about the Pontiac Tojan, they'll swear you're making it up. An 800-horsepower supercar that beat Ferrari to 200 miles per hour, but hardly anyone remembers it in 2024? The car even looks made up; closer to something out of Speed Racer than it is to a realistic variant of the third-gen Firebird. To this day, you'll only find a handful of YouTube videos, overviews, and even Reddit posts on the Tojan supercar.
curve balls and little victories
#1 eldubb440 more miracles than Jesus first off, I'm out of my lane....... inside my transmission, where I know enough to be dangerous 2001 Durango 45rfe, evidentially these are in just about everything Dodge/Jeep in some form or another so I'll skip to the curve ball, how and why I'm there doesn't matter.......... so I put a new valve body in my trans........ should be pretty straight forward, right? lol see this pin? it's a 1/4 inch dia. ..........
Auto Wash Bowl. Intresting
#1 The concept originated in St. Paul, Minnesota. It was patented in 1921 by inventor CP Bohland, who opened two branches in St. Paul. He invented the bowl as an easy way to remove mud from the bottom of cars. During this time, roads were often unpaved and muddy and the mud would get stuck on the bottom and wheels. A spin in the Auto Wash Bowl removed the mud from the bottom of the car. The 24-meter-wide, ribbed concrete bowl was approximately 16 inch at its deepest point.
