We bought a replacement instrument cluster from Dakota Digital. It's for our '68 R/T. - It's got sort of an updated factory look to it. It'll be awhile before we get it installed because the car is still in pieces...

Dang! You already had me drooling when I saw your username. The Charger is icing on the cake!

We bought the US Cartool ones for our '68 Charger and I personally think they're the nicest ones out there. I didn't want to pull the interior out of my 67 'Cuda so I made my own that weld onto the rear frame section and the transmission cross member. There are several benefits to installing...

How soon are you going to do it? We've got a complete K-frame assembly here on my son's '68 Charger. We'd installed a brand new disc conversion from Right Stuff Detailing and purchased all new bushings, ball joints, etc as well. None of it has been on the road yet. He's decided to switch to...

Since the time that I'd posted, my son had me work on the dash in his '70 Roadrunner. The gauges fried when the voltage regulator went bad so we swapped the black faced cluster with a white faced one we had for his '68 Charger. He wanted to go with red tinted bulbs. My past experience...

Are they as bright as what you'd like them to be? - Or would you like the gauges lit even brighter?

The whole purpose of the dovetail is so that your car does not bottom out going on and off. The higher a trailer sits, the more pronounced the angle it has to overcome from the ramps to the trailer bed. If a trailer sits really low to the ground or is a tilt bed you don't have as many...

I prefer a 20' myself. It's nice to have extra. Then you never worry about having enough length if you need to haul something else and you can balance your load better.

Welcome back to ya from Nebraska. The son of a good friend of mine went to WYO TECH. People around here consider that place to be the best automotive tech college in the country.

I played around a bit more with the Halloween decorations. I'm working on a welcome mat that will trigger some of the animated zombies when it's stepped on. Teresa told me that her brother-in-law Manuel is starting to suspect that we're devil worshipers now. I'd try to reassure him otherwise by...

I'm pretty sure the ram emblems that are appearing on all the Mopars combined with the references to the trucks as rams instead of Dodges makes the direction things are going obvious.

It feels like that whole 'rewriting history' thing Ms. Obama bragged about doing. We're all just frogs in a frying pan. Plymouth is gone. The Pentastar is gone. The Dodge name will probably be phased out down the road. I think that the Hellcat is Fiat's way of keeping the faithful from...

The animated sign that I started with was one of these. It had optional overlays for the lettering. I made my own lettering with my printer so it would be the entry sign at the track. If you click on these next link you'll see an example of them in motion. It's amazes me the things you...

In between the bouts of tooth misery I have gotten a bit done on the basement drag strip. I still have to plant another 300 trees and mount 50 more street lights. I've got a chain link fence that I need to construct and put up to keep the little plastic people away from the track. There...

Unfortunately most of our early slot cars were stolen from the farm. We had Ford Galaxies, Falcons, Cougars, Chargers, Camaros, El Caminos, Willys, early Mustangs, AMXs, Torinos, Superbirds, Daytonas, old wagons, T-birds, VW Bugs, etc, etc...

The racetrack that I started with was an Aurora Model Motoring setup back around 1960. My brother and I owned it together. I was just a little scrapper back then and probably did more to screw things up than to enhance them. Those original motors worked on a vibration design that didn't...

We've gone to LEDs in all of our cars. We tried colored ones but they weren't as easy to read as the white. We purchased all of ours off of eBay for very little money. Once that fluorescing paint starts to fade on the original instruments they need all the help they can get. And at my age I...
