Car Guys Discussion / Re: Dumb traffic tickets
Last post by b5blue - Today at 10:12:58 AMMy first mighty Mopar was a 73 Duster I swapped a convertible Mustang for. The trunk lock had been punched and around midnight one night I was pulled over. The cops were looking for green car that was suspected in robbery near by. Wanting to see in the trunk they asked for the key. When I reached in the car and handed them a screwdriver they were puzzled. After farting around a few minutes they admitted defeat so I popped the lock and they were satisfied.

Charger Discussion / Re: Ebay scam Charger
Last post by doctor4766 - Today at 06:57:32 AMQuote from: Kern Dog on Today at 01:51:10 AMUhhh...The point is that it was of interest to me back when I was oblivious to the scams that were out there. The car itself is/was pretty tidy despite it's non-standard build and I think it's a neat build.
I'm not sure I understand the point of this. THAT car would have been worth FAR more than $10,000 in 2009 so that HAD to be a scam then and any time.
Nice looking car if you're into custom stuff. It looks clean and well done from what I saw.
I soon wised up to the tricks of the no but still thought the owner deserved a bit of credit for their car.
Not everyone's cup of tea I'm sure, but I like it.

Interior / Glove box door hinge......1970...
Last post by Kern Dog - Today at 02:05:38 AMI'm working on this fine car known as Jigsaw....
It was partially stripped when I bought it. One of the missing items is the hinge for the glove box door.
I'm guessing that it is a ONE year only part but that it does interchange with every other 1970 B body model. Belvedere, Road Runner, GTX, Coronet, 2 door, 4 door, Station wagon and convertibles...
Does anyone know someone with a stash of interior parts?
Thanks!

Interior / Re: Classic Auto Air
Last post by Kern Dog - Today at 02:01:39 AMYes.
I recently did an A/C install on a '68 Plymouth. I put a vacuum pump on it but couldn't get it to even hold 20" of vacuum so I took it to a shop for evacuation and a fill. They found 2 minor leaks using Nitrogen, then after I fixed the leaks, they charged the system and all is well.
With my car, I did get it to hold 30" of vacuum for over 45 minutes so I figured I was in the clear.
I filled the system with the appropriate amount of R-134 and it seemed fine....but it was in the mid 60s that day so it wasn't the right time to test it.
A skilled friend of mine thinks that despite it holding vacuum, he thinks it can still leak when under pressure.
The Classic Auto Air guy said it needs to be between 17-25 psi on the low side and around 150 on the high side.

Last post by Kern Dog - Today at 01:55:49 AMThanks again, Tan Top.
One thing I really like is how TT will post a secondary close up shot whether you can make out the Charger in the wide shot. I find that entertaining.

Car Guys Discussion / Re: Dumb traffic tickets
Last post by Kern Dog - Today at 01:38:55 AMOne time I was stopped while driving a beat up '70 Dodge Dart.
I didn't have insurance. I bought it from a neighbor but didn't transfer the registration to my name yet. I was 21 years old and just out messing around at the local mall. The 225 wouldn't allow me to peel out on pavement so I wasn't hot rodding it. Maybe I was being profiled as a low rent dirtbag?
Ha ha...Yeah, maybe for the moment I was.
My Camaro was wrecked a few weeks before when someone crossed my path and I broadsided them. They were cited for failure to yield and while I had another vehicle to drive, a neighbor in the apartment complex only wanted $150 for a running and driving Dart! This was 1987 or so.
They had me exit the car and stand outside of it. One cop looked at the seat and made some funny comment to the theme of...this guy must have a problem...his farts have disintegrated the front seat! I think that I laughed at that and after a warrant check turned up clean, I was free to go straight home.
I've been given a break many times. I have either been silent or respectful when I've been stopped but never begged or humiliated myself to get out of a citation. I was with a guy that didn't cry but still sounded like a brown nosing wimp trying to get out of the ticket. Screw that...Have some pride, apologize but don't grovel and whatever happens, you at least preserve some dignity.
