    Comment by 'IRON MAN' in item 'Two weeks ago bought this 73 Challenger off eBay sight unseen.'

    No , but when I need to buy some matching paint NED'S Auto Body Supply, Inc. in Concord, Ca, can mix it up either by paint code or by scanning the car body paint.

    Seam Sealer recommendations for rear wheel wells

    I have used 3M Heavy Drip-Check Sealer #08531. "Paintable, fast drying, flexible rubber base material that seals small cracks and other openings, such as drip rails, molding, cowling and welded seams. Heavy consistency makes this sealer especially suitable for verticle seams." Off-White in color.

    Shock Absorber Selection on stock 1971 Barracuda with 318

    I like the smooth ride Gabriel shocks provide. Gabriel gas shocks are intended for every day driving. The ride is firm, not stiff and handles well in tight corners. I put KYBs on a go-fast balls-out Camaro I built. The Challenger is mostly stock so I didn't splurge on expensive shocks.

    Shock Absorber Selection on stock 1971 Barracuda with 318

    Today, I installed Gabriel Shock Absorbers (82131 , 82090) on my 1973 Challenger. Got them at Summit Racing. Gabriels are a good all-around daily driver shock absorber. It is best to have a second set of hands helping you with the rear shocks. I was able to do it alone on my back, which as it...

    Correct Engine Paint

    I have read there is no PPG paint code # for MOPAR Blue engine paint. Year One sells MOPAR blue engine paint in a rattle can using MOPAR's paint code P4349217 ($18.95). Have you tried going to a Dodge dealer's Parts Department to check on availability ($10.95 if they still carry the 12oz rattle...

    FOR SALE TA Project on Ebay

    A body shop like Graveyard Carz probably bought it or a professional DIY body guy for that kind of money. Who else could afford to restore it? Seems like it would take $30-40K for a person to farm out the work. The well known body shops in San Francisco East Bay Area charge over $100.00 per...

    Who the Hell is Allison?

    Now that's funny. Back in the late 80's the gov't switched the VA guaranteed loan on my house to a lender by the name Fanny Mae. My wife thought I was seeing a high-priced call-girl when she reviewed my checking account. I believe Fanny Mae is still servicing veterans. LOL

    Disc Brakes on a 70 CUDA

    "Front disc brakes were optional since 1967 on all models, except the 1969 Barracuda (std)with a 440 engine. Non-power front disc brakes became standard equipment for all 1973 models. Those with a 340 engine and all 1974 cars with a 360 engine were mandatory with power-assisted front disc brakes."

    WTB Photos wanted

    It may be more helpful if the photos are after the seats and console are removed and before the carpet is taken out. The reason I'm commenting is I'm about to replace the original carpet in my 73 Challenger due to fading. It is brownish purple where the sun has been hitting it. I have TRIMPARTS...

    New carpet for a Challenger

    I have installed carpet kits from ACC and TRIMPARTS, INC. Both companies make a nice carpet kit. A couple months ago I ordered a TRIMPARTS carpet kit from Summit Racing ($159.97). Also purchased Lloyd classic loop floor mats from Summit. I chose TRIMPARTS because some members said it was a good...

    1970 Challenger R/T Warranty Block Question

    Lately I have been looking for a 70-71 Challenger R/T that is #'s matching. Read in the Challenger & Barracuda Restoration Guide the following: " You may also find the upper engine pad blank, which indicates that the original engine was replaced under warranty. Warranty engines usually have a...
