Good morning, still only -2 and cloudy but with not even a breeze. All is white, not warm enough to melt anything, if only it could stay this way til March. Temps will be rising to 8 by 5 AM and cooling off all day Monday, chance of flurries Tuesday.
Have a great day.

Good morning 5 but it feels like -5. It will be clear and cool for the week so THEY say. We had the annual truck Christmas parade last night and seeing as we live very close to the highway its only a short walk to a good view point. Its always good fun to watch all the decorated commercial trucks and they raise a ton of money for those who need it.
Have a great day

Mike the guy that wired my Cuda must of had the black spool of wire, thats all he used. I found a used harness that was in real good shape but still untaped to all to check it out for cracks. The alt wire was the only bad wire I found so I reran it with a tad heavier gauge. I also replaced the 2 battery cables with new ones and ran wires for the electronic ignition and my new gauges that haven't shown up yet.

Have a great Sunday people.

The Valiant is tucked away for the season off site but that doesn't stop me from spending money. Picked up an A Body 8.75 drum to drum. Its a little crusty nothing that a wire brush wont remedy. Not a sure grip but will deal with that later. Put the Christmas lights up but there is a short somewhere, have to deal with that. 4 today with a chance of rain.

Good morning 1 and will maybe hit 5 or 6 today. This whole week should be clear and cool but there is maybe flurries for Friday morning but thats a long way away. I must be just plain lucky Mike my lights went up and lit up right away even the timers worked and yes I went and bought a lottery ticket. I am eyeing a few items for the Dart not too much this year mind you I said that before the stroker showed up didn`t I?
Have a great day

Good morning, mainly cloudy day so far but the sun just peeked through the clouds, a short warm front went through this morning early temps went up to +5 then to 0 and bounced back to +3. They say Wednesday will be nice + cold but only time will tell.
If anybody ever finds an a-body 8 3/4 rear let me know. My 8 1/4 does not sound just right anymore.
Have a great day.

by Ragtacker Mon Dec 03, 2018 7:32 am

It seems these 8 3/4 are becoming like hens teeth. I had to buy mine in Ontario and have it shipped here.

Would it not be easier to rebuild your 8.25? Another alternative is a pre70 b body 8.75, that way you have your BBP . You will have to move the perches in s 1/2 inch on each side, but they fit great in the Dart sport bodies

by **Keith Mopar** Tue Dec 04, 2018 7:56 am

Good morning guys. Cool day here but no snow -6 and a high of 0

Put all my Christmas lights up on the weekend as doing it on a warm day just isn't what I do, my wife always reminds me of that..

Have a great day all.

by Ragtacker Wed Dec 05, 2018 6:14 am

Good morning 0 and maybe a high of 5 or 6. Keith I prefer to put mine up in the rain rather than wait for the predicted clear skies insert head shaking here.
Have a great day

by JGL Wed Dec 05, 2018 10:44 am

It was -11 this morning but now gone up to -5, the skies are clear and sunny with light winds...+25 would be better.
Have a great day to all of us great mopar people.

by **Keith Mopar** Thu Dec 06, 2018 7:08 am

It's -11 now and going for a wopping -4 for taday. Very similar weather JG and I agree +25 would be nice.

Hopefully will make it to the garage this afternoon and will be looking for all my clutch parts for the Cuda. I took them off 4 years ago and boxed them in a safe spot, so it might take me a while to find them and hopefully they are all together... ug

Good day all great Mopar people...

by JGL Thu Dec 06, 2018 7:42 am

Good morning, -13 to -9 and might reach -5. Cloudy and darn cold. Friday looks warmer with maybe light snow and closer to 0 temps.
The only sound in the garage is the radio and light snoring.
Have a good one Mopar people.

by Ragtacker Thu Dec 06, 2018 8:08 am

Good morning -1 clear no wind and the coast is clear....well mostly. Lots of work coming up in the new year lots to do before but heres my next project being unloaded.
Have a great day

by JGL Fri Dec 07, 2018 6:32 am

Good sunny morning but only -5 from -11 and going towards 0. Might get some snow this afternoon.
Have a great TGIF.

by Ragtacker Fri Dec 07, 2018 8:38 am

Good morning 0 and its going to warm up a bit and rain for the weekend.
Have a great day

by **Keith Mopar** Fri Dec 07, 2018 10:34 am

Reg I hope you job on that boat isn't to full up the fuel! Sad

Nice sunny day here but cool, low -8 high -2.

TGIF, and have a great weekend all.

by Ragtacker Fri Dec 07, 2018 8:20 pm

Could you imagine the fuel bill? My 3270 Bayliner was 700 to fill and that was 6ish years ago, I`ll ask what a top off is for one of these floating palaces lol

by Ragtacker Sat Dec 08, 2018 7:37 am

Good morning 4 and rain or freezing rain is moving in. Just sitting watching the morning news...what a messed up world. Despite all this
Have a great day

by JGL Sat Dec 08, 2018 10:51 am

Good morning but it's not morning anymore, -13 to -9 and I don't think it will be any warmer today. The sun is sort of present but that's right the weatherman said we were going to be under a cold air system from the north for a few days...looks like next Friday(14th) we might see above 0 or even -20 as it's far away.
Have a nice day.

by JGL Sun Dec 09, 2018 8:20 am

Good morning, early morning went down to -16, now -10 and I imagine a high around -5 but with sunshine and almost no wind. Paying bills for new parts on the Dart but won't be installed now...it's to damn cold. (vehicle specific electric window kit), thank God I have an account specifically for the Dart.
Have a great day moparians.

by Ragtacker Sun Dec 09, 2018 8:40 am

Good morning sitting here thinking I need to do something and hell this is it! 8 windy like holy f its windy out there! It was the boys(friends for over 50 years) Christmas party last night man what a laugh. I don`t know how thier wives put up with them. Funny enough none of them are car guys but they do like to loose to me at a game of golf so they arn`t all that bad.
JG thats a neat upgrade for the car but what are you going to do with the door panels now?
Have a great day eh

by **Keith Mopar** Sun Dec 09, 2018 12:25 pm

Good day all. not bad here, -4 low and a high of 0 but nice and sunny.

JG you'll have to start a thread when you put that window kit in.

Good day all.

Supposedly the open-close switch goes in place of the window crank.

Keith why don't you send me a reminder early March but then car related stuff I don't usually forget..

by **Keith Mopar** Mon Dec 10, 2018 8:20 am

Good Monday, (if there such a thing) -2 this am and a high of 6 and nice and sunny.

Working on getting the clutch to work on the Cuda for most of the weekend and I feel like I have made little to no progress.

Good day all.
