Our junkyards blow. Been around to several of them to poke around. What's left of the 60s and early 70s Mopars have been picked clean. You really don't even see many cars at the junkyards around Memphis these days dating from before 1980.

Thanks for all the responses so far, fellahs. I've got a few problems facing me with the 383. First, I have been calling around and asking around for over a year and the handful of machine shops around Memphis are not geared towards this kind of thing. None of them that I have found have any...

Well fellahs, I'm really thinking about just putting my bored over '70block 318 into the RR for now. I mentioned it once before a couple years ago. Right now my life pretty much sucks. I've lost three grandparents in six months. Work is a craphole. And I have no money for anything but the...

Memphis can be a creepy place. :stab: Things being the way they are these days, it's hard to get out. But it just kind of crossed my mind the other day that I wouldn't really want to take the Plymouth on the streets without some backup.

Just curious how many of you fellahs keep a sidearm on you when you take your Runners and other old Mopars out in public. Where I live isn't the safest place and carjacking is something that can happen, particularly with something valuable like a RR. I don't know that I'd feel comfortable...

My granddad constantly hounded my dad in the 70s for buying and owning the Road Runner that now sits in my garage. He wanted my dad to get rid of it for being too much of a fun thing (he's an old-school workaholic German). My dad didn't listen to him. Now that my dad is gone, my granddad has...

Tennessee passed its own Firearms Freedom Act. Any gun made and sold to a citizen within the state does not fall under federal jurisdiction. The feds responded in the form of the ATF sending letters to all dealers in Tennessee stating that the FFA is null and void in their eyes. While I won't...

Hell yea, man. Good to see you back. :thumbsup:

9s usually, some 10s thrown in depending on the load. Funny part is we don't really see the extra money. The harder you work, the more the IRS hijacks from you. I still don't have two dimes to rub together to do the 383 rebuild.

Sorry man, I definitely miss being on the board more. I have been on mandatory overtime at work for a couple of months now. I don't even remember what weekends feel like anymore. I get 2 random days off per month now. It's no fun and I have virtually no life. I'm trying to get out of the...

That gives me a real thrill. A "little" 383 spanking everyone else's 400+ cube engines. :devil:

Getting rid of my dad's RR was never something I was going to do. It's all just an issue of being strapped for the foreseeable future. I'd lose the house and everything and be living in the backseat of the RR before I ever get rid of it. :yesnod:

Thanks fellahs. Makes me feel a bit better. I didn't live through the Carter era, but I do remember how damn good Ronald Reagan made everyone start feeling about American again. I hope we can get to that. I'll never sell my RR, but it's just a shame to have to mothball it. But you are all...

Got finished taking the engine apart December 2008. Here we are a year later and all the parts and pieces are exactly where I left them. I went into this project knowing I wouldn't get this rebuild done quickly and that it may take a few years. But I always had the idea that even if it came...

Haji's know how to pull a trigger. Americans know how to aim.

They can pass that shit, the healthcare crap, and ban all my guns. I and 4 million other Tennesseans will be (re)declaring our independence from the federal regime. And this time no one can blame us. Funny how many people don't laugh at me anymore when I say that these days.

:drool:

Well that would explain that. As a kid, I always felt very safe on a military base, such as ours in Millington. I guess that was a false sense of security. :(

Only thing that I don't get is how that wacko got so far. He was on a military base and yet no one seems to have been armed to be able to shoot him down. All I know is that if some sorry piece of garbage walks into a store where I'm at and starts screaming about bringing everyone to Allah, his...
