    Finally got my vacation car, only took 11 years

    As told by senior member to start a thread about my new 1981 Imperial. So here goes. As most who have been here a while know I'm about as big a cheap sake as you will find, especially buying cars. I stumbled across this site back in 2013 looking for a C body, still don't have one. I did happen...

    2024 Hot Rod Power Tour

    Figured since the Calendar flipped I would start a thread. See or plant a seed for anyone who would like to participate in it. I did it last year. Had some reservations about it and dealing with snobby attitudes and my junky '68 Charger. My son and I went on it. We met up with @HawkRod in VA...

    Too many marketing college grads, and Chinese parts

    So headlight goes out on my KW, this would be a PITA on my old Pete because most likely it would be wiring. New truck simple enough. When at Napa I buy a headlight that is marked with 2 wattages. Get the box home and open it it has a high beam only for small square 4 lamp system (2 prongs)...

    Said goodbye to a old friend today

    Sorry to see her go, but we had our time together. I put almost 500k on that truck, 430k on the N14 I put in in 2013. On a better note I found a new toy in the wake of a totalled Subaru. It needs some work, but has the right bones, except for the slushbox. I'll remedy that in the future.

    Apologies

    Want to take a moment to send a apology to Dave 71 Polara. I guess I pushed a bit too much and maybe pissed him off. So sorry for that it was not my intention. Everyone I guess is a little on edge with all that is going on, I know I am. I went on a rant about a mechanic that was in hind sight...

    Covid 19 not stopping mechanic arrogance.

I thought that it had shifted over and I knocked it back in, but it is too short. So I explain all of this too service manager/supervisor. Sure bring it by we'll have a...

    Hemmings Muscle Machines, quality rag BTW, has a article on a 512" based 440. It boast 585 hp @5400, and 640 ftlbs at 4100 rpm.

    Quick decode of this VIN

    I bought a locked up 69 HP 440 a while back. Upon cleaning today and heaved it up on a engine stand that got freed up. VIN reads DH43L9D133.... What kind of car is this from? Yes I'm being lazy and not looking it up.

    Winter storm Harper

    The weather people in the Pgh. area have been going on and on for days about this storm. Looks like our snow total will not be bad, but the ice is unpredictable and can be bad. Big John and others in upstate New York the 18-24" they are predicting is a crappy outlook. Stay safe and stay warm later.
