Out running errands today. 88 degree and near 70% humidity at noon. Ya know, just like Carlisle in July. :D The craziness started about noon today. I.E. a number of non street-legal cars and things in the street already. It’s officially back as the big companies take over the parking lots up...

Hit the weekly Tuesday cruise-in at the Auburn Hills Culvers restaurant first time this year. Holy crap has this show grown. When I left at 6:30 pm they had 520 cars and counting. All makes and years allowed but a surprisingly small mopar presence tonight considering the location. This is a very...

Received my August issue of Collectible Automobile today. Love this magazine and I believe I’ve been a subscriber for well over twenty years. The issue has a very interesting and comprehensive article on the ‘57 to ‘65 Ghia Limos. Lot of behind the scene corporate decisions, fabrication photos...

After a month and a half email exchange with Waldron I give up. Their communication skills leave much room for improvement. After my initial inquiry asking, “do you have a dual exhaust system kit to replace my factory single exhaust system?”, and emails from them talking about “H” pipes, then...

Has anyone else had issue opening FCBO for the last week. When attempting to open website on my mobile devices it fails to launch and times out. Particularly an ipad. Even common sites I use that are notoriously slow to launch still open as usual. This site loads about one out of four tries.

I had the front end rebuilt over a year ago. I finally got around to getting the alignment done earlier this year. The alignment shop told me the SAI (steering angle inclination) is way out of spec. Equally both sides. I see no way to adjust this angle. The car feels solid and tracks real well...

Got bored with chores and it’s not warm enough for yard work or sittin on the deck. So I finished these I had started years ago. Up next will be one of these. Over the years I’ve picked-up these resin kits of cars we’ve had in the past. Planned on this being one of my winter hobbies in...

Thought I’d head down to the show this afternoon thinking it would be less crowded. Big mistake. No place to park and ended up paying $30 for a surface lot in downtown Detroit. Told myself 10 years ago “ never again”. Dough!! Joe Louis says Welcome to the “D”! I think this is a late 30s...

I’m getting the seats recovered for my Monaco. I want the exact pattern copied but...... The stitcher asked me if I wanted all the seat welting also to match original. Initial response was “of course” but now I’m thinking of leaving it out. This seat pattern has a lot of welting or piping in it...

Two General Motors engineers were caught apparently street racing a pair of new Corvette Stingrays in Kentucky. GM engineers caught racing pair of new Corvette Stingrays in Ky. Driving 120+ in a 45 mph zone coming from a bar. Brilliant!

I’m really looking forward to this movie. This competition was as big as Plymouth and Petty’s vendettas with Ford and Nascar imo. As a kid I followed this competition pretty closely. Even built a GT40 slot car to run against my Ferraris. That whole story of stuffing a big V8 in a gorgeous car...

Yeah, was drawn over to Woodward today. The Monaco was running real nice this morning and was begging for a roll down the strip. So.... Dump in 5 gals cause the gauge doesn't work! Long Lake and Woodward. 15 Mi. RD. The Hunter House. Best sliders in Michigan! And, as I've mentioned before...

Weather was perfect this morning in Daytona! Covered maybe half the show before my feet told me to hit the Hooters across the street. A few more “C”s this year but not many. Couple of very friendly gals brought these white Polaras. This Fury had a nice gold interior you don’t see often.

Guys. What is the best steakhouse in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area these days? I’ve been to Stockyards years ago and wondering if it’s still considered one of them. Price is no issue but “Black Tie” type places aren’t our host’s style.

The June issue has four pages with pics of a low line Forward Look Plymouth. Gorgeous condition slant six, three on the tree model with 65,000 miles.

Got the Monaco back from shop after front end rebuild. Had everything replaced with Moog pieces except lower ball joints. These were still tight so left them in place. Steering is now nice and tight with no rattle or knock while navigating Michigan roads. Question #1 Do lower ball joints wear...

Anyone here going to the show this thanksgiving? I used to drive over from Longboat Key and back in a day. Last time i went the infield was filled with show cars, new and used parts vendors and a big car coral. Had to stay overnight last few times to see everything. First day off since Carlisle...

This car has a quick respray paint job done approximately 30 yrs ago. The hood and deck lid are dull. I used a clay bar and followed that up with a cleaner/polish compound applied and buffed out with my orbital polisher. Hood and deck finish came out real smooth but still no shine. Sooooo...

Anybody ordered stuff from Mopar Mall or Obsolete Parts recently? Any issues with service or delivery?
