For My GM fans Swapping in a 383 and a TKX 5 speed from American Powertrain. That old 4 speed has seen better days. Plus a bunch of other up grades. As you can see in the picture the 4 speed has has a rough life.
Sorry no Ford Eye candy to share. Next time.
All messages, texts and emails will be answered as information is available. Currently have a 3 page waiting list. Those on the list your turn is coming. Parts arrival has a big part to play in that.
Please be patient with me. Have a wonderful Friday I wanted to share some cool car content.

Mopar People will know how much fun I'm about to have from the stuff in the first picture.
The second picture has a problem. Again Mopar People should spot the issue right away. That the Right Front Wheel for reference.
A person was driving this car and it was purchased from a dealership make sure you have vehicles inspected by someone who knows what they are doing.

Finally a Show about reality that is real.
I made it through the first episode. It's not glamorous or easy they actually touch on the problem that I have with supply chain issues. Parts delays and messed up new parts. Even with all the fancy tools, big bank account and brand new shop these guys are like me. S**t happens and it happens more often than not.
If you can. Watch this show. I found myself agreeing with them.
Also I can do what they do. I just need time and money. It doesn't need to be as pretty as this 70 Chevelle SS 396 but 1200 HP without spray sounds good to me. Some sponsors sounds good to me.
Enjoy I like that they are building street cars again.

As I get older I have learned a thing or two about a thing or two. True story.
What I have learned is our vehicles and ourselves are not a lot different. In my quest to live longer and be more fit I have come to find. What we feed ourselves makes a difference. What products I use in my day to day make a difference. Same goes with our vehicles. For example many of use take special care to wash and clean our rides. Special soap, ultra soft rags. Paint and rubber protection products of the highest quality. The last thing we want is paint swirls or dried out leather seats. I myself have a car care system. What I feed my car and use for oil is the same thing. I use quality stuff on my 500 be**er to my Challenger.
Now many of you probably eat fast food or premade food from the store. You have a 6 in one body wash shampoo conditioner lotion balm SPF 40 one size fits all cleaner. Don't laugh we are all guilty. They say a product for us should not have more than 10 ingredients in it.
Things like magnesium and aluminum are used in deodorants and body wash. We don't even want to know what is in a Big Mac. But the 3 for 10 bucks wash is good for us. Well we need to treat ourselves and our rides the same because we both want to be here for a long time and a good time. Organic stuff is misleading. You have to read labels. It's not created equal. Just like all car washes are not created equal. Some will rip your mirror off and more.
A good rule of thumb for both our rides and ourselves is Cheap Isn't Good. If you think otherwise have a friend, spouse or coworker smack you. They will enjoy that. Lol
The most expensive isn't the answer either. That's good to know as Everything gets more expensive these days.
Read labels, do research, educate yourself on products. Know your ride.
Don't forget that the EPA could care less about how long your ride lives. We feed subpar oil and fuel to our rides. Now with fuel is hard to overcome. Their is options to combat that. Oil is like food. Cheap definitely isn't the answer. The more expensive isn't either. You need to find what your ride likes. My point is Take care of yourself and your ride for a fun and long life.

Hello to a new month. The year is half over. Wow how time flies. With this comes some new changes.
Want to remind everyone,
I am appointment only.
If you call leave a message otherwise I won't know who you are.
Texts are good and I will respond when I can.
No more cars and coffee.
Do not stop by without an appointment.
I am booked up for July. I'm currently not taking in any more appointments. I might be able to take care of an emergency but I have a full plate. I will let everyone know when I open up appointments.
When I do everything from a flat repair to a custom Hot Rod build it keeps me busy. I like it that way. I'm also making adjustments to overcome the inflation issue we are all experiencing. As that develops I will let you know. I have bills to pay as well. Thank you all for supporting me in my adventure. I hope everyone had a awesome and enjoyable holiday weekend. Be safe and God Speed and So Do I. Smiles Per Gallon.

Have a Safe and Happy 4th of July from me to all of you on this beautiful day. Remember why we celebrate this day.

A Huge Thank You to all of you who came out today.
I don't know why the car count was below average today, maybe weather. Either way I was happy to see everyone. Thank you Rich for the donuts and music.
It's sad that this was the last cars and coffee at my shop. The one thing in life that is a guarantee is "Change" and like many others in this post Covid world I am also experiencing change. We must do what is necessary to adapt to things.
I have been getting overwhelmed with messages. It has been awhile since I couldn't keep up with getting back to everyone.
The shop is appointment only.
My cell service is sketchy some days. (Verizon says they are working on it)
The best way to get ahold of me is By texting me or calling and leaving a Voicemail. My response on Messenger and IG as well as Email will be delayed more often than not.
If my phone is in my hands them tools are not. It's hard to fix something without tools. I hope everyone understands.
I will be making some changes. I just found out my web hosting is going up 100.00 a month and have no clue why. I might be suspending that since my fuel cost went up 500 a month and everything else is up 30% across the board. I will have to make changes to keep a float or sink.
I am told that parts and materials will improve by summer of 2023.
Many of you don't know but I rent my spot that is subject to increase as well.
I appreciate every one of my customers who support me. I know change is coming. What I do not know is what is going to be changed.
1. One question I have is (please answer below) Does my location play a big part in you giving having me do work on your vehicle?
2. Second question if I moved to Cleveland, Akron or a little more South would it greatly effect you bringing me your vehicle to work on?
Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your day.

Sunday Sunday
This is the last Cars and Coffee of 2022. That's right! So let's make this the best one ever.
Coffee is Free as in Compliments of Me, Mopar Mike
Know other places are having cars and coffee Sunday but Non of them are giving you coffee and most likely donuts.
I'm going to me sarcastic and say come to mine and skip theirs. Thank You everyone for the support over the many years I have hosted cars and coffee.
