I have an Opal from the 70s. My grandmother left it to me (she passed away). It’s gorgeous- white with red leather interior..and an old time radio. BUT it’s been sitting in a garage for 13 years. I want to restore it, but have NO IDEA where to begin…what do I do?

Hello iam a big muscle cars fan although not from the states.I have only once seen in my life a dodge charger , dukes of hazzard layout , which was one of the films survivors.I was shocked at the sight and the sound of the 440 six pack.But the real knock on the head was when i saw a comedy (like American Pie) that a 69 judge was starring.I felt tottaly in love with this monster….I came home and started looking and learning about those monsters and discovered a lot of barn finds and many neglected beauties in crapeyards , forests and houses.I wish i could have a body for restoration and working on it , no matter the money and the years to be spent.I would really like anyone that have ever come across , driven or owned a gto “judge” to share some moments of this car with me , so i would quite feel like changing gears through the hurst box…..Thank you all

I love them all and it is such a hard decision to make… So i am not saying that if most say I should sell a certain one that thats the one i will choose but opinion always help!

Thanks
All the Vehicles Run Fine.
My cavalier has 53k miles
The Jeep has around 60k miles
The Land Cruiser has like 20k miles
The Bike has ALOT!
I keep well care of all of them (keep the oil changes up to date && everything)

The Bike (Obviously) is the best on Gas, then the Cavy, then the Land Cruiser and the Jeep being V8 is the Gas Hog.

But the Jeep is 4WD while the others are not.

Oh gah I just don’t know

I had my drivers lisence revoked after having 2 imparied driving tickets in the same year. Its been almost 2 years sience I have driven a car. My hearing date is coming up real soon. Im just curious to know what takes place at these hearings. What kind of questions they asked/answers you gave, what worked for you or what didnt work. Im from Michigan , I dont know if that matters but I think it might. Any advise would be appreciated, especially from people who have gone through with it in Michigan. Thanks.

i have a 1970 dodge charger coming along very well in its restoration. but currently, i have no fuel system. i am not going to get the original gas tank that year one offers, in stead i want to go with a 20 gallon aluminum fuel cell that summit racing offers. but… i noticed a lot of things. in the picture, it shows 2 fittings coming off of the sump, and 2 fittings on the top of the cell im guessing for ventilation? anyways, i need to know where these two -8AN fittings go to. i mean obviously, i need one of them to run to a hose, to a “in-line” filter, to an aluminum line, to another hose and to the fuel pump right? well, i need to know what size aluminum fuel line i need is it 3/8″? 5/8″? etc.. and i need to know why there is 2 fittings on the fuel cell instead of just one? im all new to this and before i spend 350 bucks i just want to know exactly what i need. if anyone can give me a list of the stuff, id appreciate it. [fittings, line, etc..] im running a mopar 383 stock.thnx
