Oh Lordy Lordy Check Out The Mopars

Wikipedia's Definition of Muscle Car and Interesting Info

Interesting Wikipedia Read on Muscle Cars

Sometimes it surprises me that something I think won't be interesting because it doesn't necessarily cover Mopars exclusively, keeps me spell bound and reading.  

Wikipedia's history of muscle car and the definition and detail to the subject greatly surprised me...if you have a few minutes to spare, it's an interesting read.  If you click the link above it should take you there

JSR Mopar Switch Restorer

Jim aka "Slotts" made the Mopar Collectors Guide this month for his restoration of E body switches!! You really should check out JSR, he's a GREAT guy to deal with, meticulous in detail and you won't find a more honest person to deal with

I highly recommend Slotts and his services and his professionalism...I know I'd trust him with my switch restoration needs!

Paladin Special Order Wiper Motor

I had someone contact me and tell me that they wanted me to restore two of their motors.  GREAT, I love a twofer...then he told me he wanted me to disassemble the motors, prep them for plating and return the parts to him so he could have them paladin coated...ok...I'm game.  So that's what I did and I waited for the parts to be returned to build his motors.  

Well I got the parts back a couple days ago, and while each of us learned alot in this process, like which pieces can and cannot easily be coated and "work", the whole experience was different and I actually like the look and the feel is FAR different than regular dichromate.  A little harder to handle (you gotta remember I'm a woman and don't have the hand spread of most men so I struggle and do things differently than say Jerry does when he builds a motor, but you learn ways to handle things differently and get the same goal accomplished LOL)  The last motor is not complete in that it doesn't have it's harness hold down or ground strap attached yet, the sealant was still drying when I took the photos, but that'll be buttoned up tomorrow and this motors will be on their way to their owner on Monday 

Anyway I thought I'd post some photos of these motors for anyone else who might be considering something a little out of the norm.

Graveyard Carz RoadRunner Wiper motor

Not sure if you've seen the episode of Graveyard Carz with the Roadrunner finished and road testing, but we just got the wiper motor finished for the car and she's a beauty....so is the car

To view the episode of the Roadrunner, click the link below.  Mark is one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet and has as much of a passion for Mopars as we do!

The 71 Charger GYC is doing also has a wiper motor we've done...you'll see the cylinder being handed off in the episode where the best cuts seemed to have hit the cutting room floor  LOL  I'll post the link when I find it again, but I KNOW where the wiper motor photos are  ;o)
