anyone have a problem with the rear wheel well wrecking your tires?

I know… I shouldn’t have such wide tires then, but I like how it looks.
The thing is that the tires fit just fine, but I swear the lip on the inside of the wheel well is at least 2″ in, and sharp! I have new tires, and they are already chewed to sh*t! I put in air shocks and it’s much better, but once in a while it hit a bump I don’t see, and crunch! and it hurts! One of these times I’m expecting the tires just to blow. Now I don’t even drive it that much.

Is there a way to eliminate that…

Motorhome 440 Value?

I have come across a 78 Dodge Motorhome with a 440 in it. It appears to be complete mechanically and is unmolested under the hood.

It is a big ugly thing, but is complete. Working on a price, but it will be cheap.

Approximately what do Motorhome 440’s and 727’s go for? It does not have a brake on the back of the 727, but it is a fixed yoke.

I imagine that it will have low-compression and maybe some wierd heads etc.

Just curious before I make an offer.

GF3 Duster Pics Wanted

I am looking any pics of GF3 Dusters. I am contemplating painting my car back that color but I can’t visualize it since my car was “dark grey” when I got it. Any help would be appreciated. It’s not gonna be a 100 point resto but how many stay that color during modification?

Anybody Going to St. Louis Monster Mopar Weekend???

Hey Small Block, Vic & Memike + countless others I’d Like to meet,

I have my FABO shirt ready all packed and ready to go. I’ll be easy to pick out. I’ll be the mature man with grey hair, white FABO shirt with Jefflock on the back and my left leg in a cast, along with my trusty crutches. How many FABO members will I get to meet? I’ll be there Friday am early. Looking forward to the GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!!

picked up some cool cars yesterday

I went to Wally-World and Target for some stuff yesterday, and happened upon these guys:

There’s a 69 Hemi Daytona, a 70 FM3 Super Bee 440/6, the green 1971 Demon, and Dick Landy’s AF/X 65 Coronet. cool stuff!

So that’s where they went

I have been around cars for a long time and love the 68 Barracuda. When I go places I almost never see them. Yesterday I went to the local drag strip for a show called “Gathering of the Geezers”. This was an event that alowed the 50+ crowd to drag race against each other. Very nice event and a lot of fast cars there. Including 3-68 cudas a 67 and a 69. The only time I’ve seen more in one day was at the Woodward Dream Cruise. So I guess they don’t just fade away they go drag racing!
