AI can do interesting things.
By BeepBeepRR
I know Kern Dog has started a post on AI videos. I was feeding real car pictures into Gemini AI and giving it prompts to make the car in the style of Cartoonz magazine. Only changing other aspects of the prompt to do them in styles of old school automotive cartoon artists. Such as Ed Roth, Pete Millar, George Trosley, Stan Betz and Tom Medley. Here are some results. If you want me to do your car post a picture here and I will do it for you. I have always thought the Cartoonz magazine was... Read more
Images can no longer be upscaled
By JR_Charger
It used to be possible to drag a handle and make an image larger than its actual resolution. I use this a lot. The feature still works in the posting dialogue, but the images shrink down to their original size once posted.
Season Recap
By KohrtRacing
Reviewing my season as a whole and wanted to see how did y’all’s seasons finish? We set out a few goals this year and thankfully achieved almost all of them. Wanted to win my local track championship and a Diamond Wally and snagged both. Runner’ed up the Race of Champions in a stellar final against tough customer in our region Nick Zink. 383 done ran good and the car was much better overall with a new converter and cage for stiffness. Looking at a laundry list in the offseason including... Read more

Are the Red, Blue and Black Holley electric fuel pumps still used these days?
By Cranky
I see there's a service kit available for them....just wondering what I should do with my stash. Please don't ask me to sell any on this forum, thanks. Been cleaning out a lot of stuff and have thrown away stuff that I've saved for a lot of years and it's getting to the point that I'm spending too much time on it all.
GM guy went Dodge.
By HotRodLincoln
Hello all. Im finding parts either.non existent or crazy expensive. But I've been wanting a 71 charger since 1984. Took many decades to afford one that is not shot and not over 100k. Weird question. Anyone ever see a (genIII?) 71- 74 charger with both a deck lid rack, and a go wing?
3 months and a day. Back out racing
By dvw
Was able to run at Milan yesterday. Decided to run no box and S/S to get laps. First TT in box car won't start in the lanes. Push it forward and somehow it cranks enough to fire. Goes - .013, 5.81@116. Check all the cables/connections and all are good. Battery showed 16.6v. Go back for TT1 in S/S again car fails to crank. Fortunately a friend has a spare 16 volt battery. Swap it in the lanes. Make a .006, 9.21@143 pass. What a pig. Now it wont fire in the pits with this battery. He has 2... Read more
Why drivers side remote mirrors?
By 68-500
Something I have always wondered. Why do cars of the 60’s & 70’s equipped with 2 side mirrors have a remote operated left side mirror instead of the right side being remote? I can roll the window down and adjust the left side from the seat. But the right side requires rolling the window down laying across the front seat to adjust the right side mirror. It should have been opposite right side remote and left side “manual “. I know there were cars with remote right side but most were left... Read more

BIL got himself a 69 GTX
By Black_Sheep
My brother in law sold his 69 Swinger 340/4 speed and picked up this 440/4 speed Track-Pack 69 GTX to replace it. It’s B7 with a white interior and very few options. Supposedly the previous owner had it for 25 years and put about 100 miles on it. It’s all there but would really benefit from some serious underhood detailing. If I can find heated storage for my 58, he can keep it in my garage this winter we can have it standing tall by spring. We’ll see how that goes…
Hood insulation pad - 69 GTX without Air Grabber
By Black_Sheep
Doing some research for an upcoming winter project. Would a 69 GTX non-Air Grabber car be equipped with an under hood insulation pad? I’ve looked at a ton of online photos and have seen them both ways, even on so called “survivors”. Who makes an accurate reproduction if I need to source a replacement? The car currently does not have one… Thanks in advance
Looking for my 1971 charger Hemi
By chris belser
Trying to locate the original hemi block for this 1971 hemi charger. The last 8 on the block is 1G112626. We know from a previous owner of the car that the block was out the at least in the last 10 years. But at that time the engine originally surfaced the car was not known. We are almost certain that the block may have sold at an Estate auction of George Marmisch that happened in May 2017 in Greenup, KY. If you purchased a hemi block from this auction please check and see what the vin is on... Read more

Lifters for the Indy Maxx block
