show your mopar you rescued.
Hmmmm... I dont have any digital pics of what the car looked like when I started this project 20 years ago... lol....
I bought the car from a friend who had banged the fender up on it. He got the car from his Grandpa who had bought it from the original owners who was the Washington State Police. Oddly enough the car started life as a Ugly Avacado green metallic painted (even the wheels) with dog dish caps and a leaning tower of power slant 6. The interior was nothing but rubber and vinyl. Pretty much a stripped model. The only thing cool on it was the Disc brakes up front. Car was complete and ran. The motor had 276,000 miles or so on it. The police apparently used it as a undercover "bar car". There are still all kinds of holes under the dash where radio equipment was screwed on. Definately not a pursuit car ... ha ha...
Anyways It ended up in my care and I slooooooooowly started working on a dream of mine. It has outlasted alot of other things in my life.
so here are a few pics of the resto when digital came around.....
Car was in a cheap primer coat for a long time.
started getting serious
even more serious
Good Lord he's cuttin sheet metal now
Do you smell fresh paint
being daring on the paint... hoping it will work ok..
Lifes good in the west.
