Moderating 101
By · CommentsBeing a moderator on a site is an un-paid position of authority. To be awarded and maintain this position you must post often, post and be concerned with the best interests of the forum you are serving. You must also be somewhat knowledgable of the material the site is presenting.
To also serve you must have thick skin. This is so that when members throw sticks and stones at you you will not get hurt because they will bounce off your thick skin.
You must also have little to none feelings. This keeps you from getting upset or crying when someone calls you a name.
Everyonce in a while you get to have some fun. You eventually will find a new spammer filling up the forum with spam in a can. Then the fun begins. You get to delete all the threads as spam and ban the spammer and sometime ban their IP address.
Everyonce in a while someone will call you a name or another member of the forum a name and you will have to brush it off. When that same person continues with the same action or even worse calls the adminstrator a name then we have to spring into action again. Sometimes it's just deleting the posts or threads and then other times it's both that and banning the member. It's usually not fun banning a member but it is a necessary evil.
Make sure you take a chance to read the rules of the forum so that you know what and what not is allowed. Every once in a while thank your moderator for the job they do. It isn't always easy.

1970 Coronet R/T Project (Dasfusca’s Car)
By · CommentsI promise this is about my project. I am new to the site so I wanted to say hey and show you my project.
Some history
In October of 1969 my Mom and Dad bought their first new car. It was A 1970 EF8 Coronet 440. They bought it at IANNACO MOTORS in Waterford NJ. It was an auto with a 318. The car was garage kept and still perfect in 1982 with original paint. I was 16 years old in 1982 and I wanted this car for myself, I mean I loved it ( I think we all know that love) . The problem was my 20 year old sister had the use of the Coronet until I turned 17. That’s when I would get my license. My sister hated that that car and treated it like crap. She dented a fender smashed in the tail light. She was ruining it. I begged my dad to take the car away from her. He said it was her's until I turned 17. Well…this is what she did to our Coronet. The car gave its life to save my sister. She was broad sided and pushed 50 feet into a pole by an El Camino. Sis still has a small scar, but is fine. The funny thing is that I almost went with her. Anyway, I never forgot that car.
In 2004 I decided to find a EF8 Coronet. At first I wanted one like Mom and Dad’s but then I thought, why not Restore a 1970 Coronet R/T with a 440 that happens to be EF8 green. Well I found this beauty on Ebay. Original paint car! and numbers matching block. These are the original pics from the add.
I have kept this car tucked away in a nice dry garage for the last few years. I have been collecting parts and I am ready to get it finished.
Here are some of the pics of the restoration in progress.
Lots of bad stuff to cut away. Rails were not that bad. I put on a new tail. That was pretty tough keeping everything lined up. I found it best to put the whole rear together tail lights, end caps and dress plate, then have a buddy hold it in place while you weld. I am learning as I go!
So far the frame rails are done and the replacement tail section is welded in.

5.7 hemi in a 63 belvedere
By · CommentsSo I've been working away steadily getting everything I need. I'm cheap @$$ so everything I'm trying to get is on the cheap Luckily for my I'm a vehicle salvage dismantler so I take cars apart for a living. This past week I got my hands on an 06 hemi Charger.
So Being me I gutted the wiring harness out of the car and bought it from work. I have two harness' now one from the charger and one from an 08 hemi truck as well as their respective computers.
I also have a 2008 Hemi complete that I found and purchased for 100 bucks off kijiji because the guy wanted to get rid of it and it had a slight knock in the bottom end. I pulled it down and found a snapped rod, pretty basic bearings were perfect everything looks good. Weighed my options and I think that likely the rest of the rods make me nervous so I once again happened across a 2010 dodge truck that had a severe front end collision. The intake was destroyed so we parted the motor out. The block was perfect so I purchased the short block for 100 dollars. Could potentially run into the rod issue again but the 08 block I had was over 100000 kms, and the new shortblock is only about 35000.
So that basically sums up my engine other then one custom factor I'm planning but I'll get into that later.
I'm trying to figure out what tranny to run. I have a 545rfe that was just a stock rotation and I picked up cheap. but I also have access to a w5a580(NAG1) that I can get cheap as well. I know there are some issues with speed sensors and such with that but with my 63 I want to try and run a 8 3/4 for rear gearing selectability. does anyone know of a good way to make that work?
I like the w5a580 better then the 545rfe because of its size. it seems like I could leave the tranny tunnel more factory size.
Biggest thing I'm dealing with is the wiring. I need to try and find a good wiring schematic for ether harness.
as for the intake I said I'd talk about later this is the inspiration for it
The plan is individual runners that bolt to the engine for easy removal, and some aluminum boxes to bolt the throttle bodies to that will be linkage driven and likely an older magnum throttle body style.
