It's been a few months since your last post on this issue. Have you found another upholsterer yet?

Maybe that's why Florida is known as God's Waiting Room, all them retirees who move there for the mild winters and whatnot, just waiting to die. You just wait until you're 85 and the arthritis in the winter gets so bad you'd rather die than suffer anymore, and you will see the appeal of Florida.

I lived in Panama City Beach during hurricane Michael, the trailer I rode the storm out in survived better than most of my neighbors did. I watched as the storm pealed off the roof of my neighbor's house like a sardine can. Scary stuff. We lucked out, big time. Anyways, regarding FEMA, guy...

There is a new variety of car wax. Ceramic based. Supposed to last a full year between applications, I haven't tried it. They claim it makes your car "scratch resistant." Can't even put your car keys on the hood, they'll slide right off.

Sweet car. Back when I was 18 I worked for a shop & we had a client bring one of these in for a big block conversion. 440 with a nitrous plate under the carb. Ended up deleting the muffler for 3 pairs of catalytic converters to pass emissions. Couldn't close the hood. It was my idea to use a...

That's no garage, that's a freaking warehouse!

New grill emblem after dark I think it pairs well with the tail light treatment I gave it a year ago. Kinda sets it off, makes it unique, one off. I think the British call it "bespoke", fancy way of saying it's been customized.

I have seen illuminated Chevy bowtie emblems and lit up Ford blue ovals before, even Toyota emblems adorned with LEDs. But not Chrysler pentastars. No glowing glory for Mopar exist in the commercial aftermarket realm. So I decided to make my own. Using the acrylic scraps from my light up...

Yesterday I got to drive in the Pioneer Days Festival parade in Pittsburg Tx, then show it off at the car show afterwards. Got lots of applause and admiration. The folks really got excited when I'd rev the motor and get the exhaust to cackle and pop, occasionally eliciting puffs of flame to...

Wow, that's cool! Did you make those yourself, or is that an off-the-shelf product you bought? If you did that, what kind of material is it? If for some reason it still after-boils, maybe cover the bottom of the phenolic spacer with foil tape like what's used in ventilation ducts. Just a...

Took my Chrysler out yesterday to a local car show. It was 2 towns over so it was a real test of the mods I had made to address overheating issues I suffered the last time I went there. With a jetting change and a DIY air dam installed under the chin, the temps never peaked over 190°, so I call...

Typically the ring gear is welded to the convertor, replacement requires exact precision best left to the professionals. It's be cheaper, faster & easier to just outright replace the entire convertor. If power, speed and performance are important to you, might I suggest getting a new convertor...

Battle scars! It adds character!

Yesterday I repurposed the 6x9 speakers installed by the PO. They were cheap Wally World Pyramid speakers, 4 ohm 100w. They sounded like crap anyway, they looked like 4 way speakers but we're really coaxials, a 6x9 woofer cone, a 1.5" tweeter (blown) & 2 fake 1/2" tweeter "domes" that were...

Yes, you're right. There are 4 speaker holes. When I discovered this I had to purchase and install another pair of woofers. Not sure if this was for ventilation purposes, rear window defoggers, or audio reasons. I'm curious of this is standard for all C-bodies, only fuselage models or if I just...

Installed the rear speaker grills and 2 pairs of 6x9 woofers onto the rear deck. Looks SOO much better now, also hides the humiliating hole where one of the factory speaker slots had crumbled and caved in. Had to use the paper template that came with the speakers to cut out a plywood "shim" so...

I recently moved from Florida (Panama City Beach to be exact), worked as facility maintenance for a resort for years. Saw firsthand how the salty humidity can permeate porous concrete and rust through steel rebar, causing cracks, spaulding & structural damage. I worked in one resort built back...

Naw, I don't live in PCB anymore, I moved last Halloween to east Texas to be with my wife. She moved out here to take care of her mom who had cancer. When momma died she stayed to take care of her dad, so I packed up, hooked up "the Turd" and headed west. Sure, I'll share pics. Nice to know...

Painted 2 pairs of generic speaker grills to match the back panel in preparation for installing 2 pairs of 6x9 woofers. Just completed the 2nd coat, drying in the warm Texas sun now. This will hide the cracks in the original panel and make it look cleaner, less like an aftermarket install. Not...
