67/68/69 cuda dilemma

Thanks for all the replies. I have a lot going on between work and home. I have a C body housing I am prepping today to get narrowed to stock width for my 67. I have to clean it up and remove the perches, then it's getting sent out. If I had the tooling to shorten it myself I would. The shipping is going to be killer these days.

And yes Barbee6043 , getting paperwork and titles square in Texas lately has become a real pain in the dick. It was easy peasy when I did my 67 years ago, but not anymore. The VTR-63 form really sucks. It's even worse when your dealing with a stripped out ex race car and they want to know where every part came from to put the jigsaw puzzle back together, along with block numbers, transmission numbers, who you bought the pieces from, and how much. Like I remember where half the **** came from. For this car I would need 50 pages to that form lol. Soooo what is my sanity worth in regards to getting a good Texas title in the round about way these days? Apparently the cost is about $900. However, now I dont need to make a tuesday only appointment and drag the car up to the state police barracks and pay them $50 to do a DPS state police vin and body number inspection for body and vin numbers that I already know match, and go through the bullshit with state form VTR-63, and finally pay to get a bond to top it off.

I ordered a new pickup truck back in december. Finally got a Vin# and a build date. So I should have a new DD by at the very worst, late september. Then I can retire a pretty worn out chevy HHR. My new one isnt a dodge, it's a Ford Maverick 2.0 turbo with AWD. Price was right on point for what I wanted, and it checked all the right boxes. Plus 30mpg highway and intelligent AWD. About all I really need for a truck/commuter these days actually. I would recommend anybody looking for a commuter/mini pickup to look into one of these. They have em in hybrid, FWD and turbo FWD and AWD. They even have a 4,000 lb tow package available.

That hernia surgery knocked me out. 4" long incision in my groin. They said 3 weeks and I will be back to regular work. Bullshit. I quit doing my morning 2 mile walk because of discomfort and pain. Finally got to where I could get back into that again after gaining 20 lbs back. The gall bladder was a combination of a piss poor diet for 25 years, and getting the covid in january, well that finished it off. Yep same trick, a couple holes and right out through the belly button.

Well I better get out there to knock some perches off an axle housing before it gets too damn hot and I have to retreat back into the house.
