Customized to represent the owners belief that Chysler should build Barracudas again, I've read the problem at corporate is that since killing off Plymouth, Chrysler isn't sure about re-using Plymouth car names, as if we'd care about that.
A rare ALMQUIST flat-head blower, the circular air induction chamber narrows as it enters the engine, increasing the airflow.

I dig the innovative throttle linkage parts, more innovation with a few extra wrenches.

Definite advantage to being able to reach all your engine compartment, and if you've got a tall truck, you might want to consider this, the Elevator

See where his feet are? That's step one, then look at his right hand, that's the lever

It hooks in place, and you are then hovering over the engine bay, able to work without straining your knees backward, or your lower back

I saw the demo guys in action, and sorry that the still photos don't really convey the ease of motion it takes to get comfortable horizontally in place over what would be your vehicle, but it was simple and just two steps to not hurting yourself while spending hours working over your engine.

Duct tape, the wonder tool!

During a private "fly-in" fishing excursion in the Alaskan wilderness, the chartered pilot and fishermen left a cooler and bait in the plane. And a bear smelled it. This is what he did to the plane

The pilot used his radio and had another pilot bring him 2 new tires, 3 cases of duct tape, and a supply of sheet plastic. He patched the plane together, and FLEW IT HOME! Thanks Mike for emailing me this! For more photos of the bear damage and what seems to be the source of the photos http://www.armyparatrooper.org/dropzone/showthread.php/22477-The-Many-uses-of-Duct-Tape-in-Alaska

This looks like its a deep socket on the end of a lug nut wrench... but I forgot to ask

Cool speedometer, doesn't need the needle, 'cause it don't matter how fast it goes

Bitch'n cool tach

Ammo can for a armrest/storage

notice the big wrench used as a shifter

Have a couple big wrenches? Use them for tail light brackets! Brilliant!

Very cool use of a big ammo can for weatherproof storage. I've got one of these big ones myself, it's awesome

This image was on Pixdaus, but i don't recognize the car maker. What struck me as worthy of posting was the winch, bolted on front bumper and rope... why?

I love this funky can and bottle opener
