Yeah, I can't make myself slide a bike on purpose. I'm not fast, but I have a blast with it. I run about a 1:08 around the motorplex. Most of the fast guys are just under a minute, so I get lapped about every 6 laps or so. Glenn Curtiss is responsible for getting me into this! I really just do...

A12, I lust over the RC8-R. It's the only current bike I would sell my RC51 to get.

My current stable: L to R, 2012 Kawasaki KLR650, 1999 Yamaha YZ400F Supermoto, 2004 Honda RC51, 1981 Honda CB125S My RC51 on a trackday at Blackhawk Farms Raceway, So. Beloit, IL (2009 I think) Full set of track bodywork to save the street stuff. And the Supermoto (#308) at the...

I had 4.10's in my big block Dart with a 27" tire. Yeah, it turned some RPM on the highway, but I didn't load it up and take trips with it. It was my hot rod/street racer, so 4.10's were just right. If you are going to make frequent highway jaunts the 3.54's should be a good compromise between a...

Picked up most of the parts (that we could find) in his shop today. Body is almost ready for media blast and primer, then paint everywhere but the outside surfaces. Car should be coming home in a couple weeks! Some pic's I took today:

Ummm...did someone ask for pictures already? Welcome!:banana::banana:

Hi all, Making progress on the Roadrunner! Picked up some "drop in" motivation once the car is rolling. A greasy stock 76 400". I'll clean it up, put a new timing chain in it along with the stock RR valve covers and intake so it "looks" right. The original 383 needs more work and money than I...

Great looking car! Love the white interior.

Mstone68RR440, WOW! I love 68's with no trunk trim plate. That is one seriously gorgeous car. I'm a big fan of orange too, I was almost going to paint my 69 BL1, but with the shenanigans I'm planning with the car, I think the original T5 is a better stealthy choice.

What finally worked (and it was still a pain) was the following: Open a beer, set aside for now. Insert bushings into brackets Throw bushing/bracket assembly into ice cream bucket of boiling soapy water, let them get HOT to 'soften' them up (lol, soft being a relative term.) Drill 1.25" hole...

VICTORY!!! After several ideas and attempts, i finally got the polygraphite sway bar bushings/brackets on the sway bar!

I actually think the black & white 68 decals are cool. They hint to the spartan nature of the whole concept of the Roadrunner.

Get a quality holster first. Carrying in a pocket can be very dangerous. Not only can the gun simply fall out if you have to run or are even just knocked down. But I think of all the things I bump into during the day that could snag a trigger through the material of a pocket. A proper holster...

mcmopar, Wisconsin has been an no permit required open carry state (Constitutional Carry) for decades. However, until recently cops have been allowed to write "disorderly conduct" citations for simply carrying open. An order by our State Attorney General no longer allowed this practice of...

Mine is a St. Louis built car. There is nothing left of original markings on my car as the entire thing has been vapor blasted (body, springs, axles, torsion bars, etc.). I may just NOT do this since if anyone ever started looking at it that close and pointed out everything that is "wrong" I may...

Find a clean Belvedere to resto mod. Not nearly the value of an actual Roadrunner, but you can make it look just like one. My original plan was to find a Belvedere and "Clone" it into a Roadrunner but with a backhalf chassis, roll cage, a fast street/strip car, but make it look like a clean RR...

Basketcase, I was a tech at a Chrysler Plymouth dealer in 85/86 and I can't count how many of those I personally prepped for sale. The 2 doors (Plymouth Dusters) always had correct badging, but the 4 door's (Plymouth Horizions) about 20% of the time said Horizon on one side and Omni on the other.

Hi guys, is there an online resource for all the paint splotches, grease pencil marks, and stamps on the underside of the car? Torsion bars, 8-3/4 center section gear ratio markings, 'bolts torquesd" markings, etc. Specifically for a 69 RR. I remember when my dad restored his 64 Polara 500...

Lmao!!!

I've never liked Glocks. That being said, I felt I needed at least one since everyone knows how to work on them, there is a ton of factory and aftermarket support, and they are super light! My daily concealed carry gun is a Glock 19 (9mm x 15 rounds) in a SUPER COMFORTABLE Clevelands IWB...
