Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I've still been detailing small parts for the truck before assembling. Over all the Express was still in good shape but there were still areas that showed wear from the sun and from 36 years of cleaning. My instrument panel cluster was nice but the silver (chrome) detailing was pretty thin. I still haven't gotten around to getting my plater set up so I did the next best thing I could think of. I used those paint pens that I'd bought to use on the Duster's trunk lid mural.

One nice trinket that I'd picked up over 30 years ago was a pewter 'Lil Red Express key chain. It's sort of beat up from use over the years but you can still read the logo on the sides of it. They no longer make them. I also bought one for my PT Cruiser 15 years ago.

This is the most interesting thing I can do when it`s too cold, and dark for an old fart to go to the garage. I enjoy it, there are a few pretty darn smart guys on here. yes, there are some dumbasses-but weren`t we all at one time or another? guess I still fall into that catagory, cause I`ve put more $$ into my cars than I ever got out of them, and still doing it! Yes, there are a couple of guys on here that have totally ignored me and won`t even reply, and are always smarting off to people, you see it in almost every post they make. but at the same time-they are pretty sharp, you can tell . don`t leave the site, you amaze me w/ your energy!!-------bob:coffee2:
