Congrats on th retirement. My dad retired when he was 48...I turned 49 last month...I still have a ways to go...lol

Was the purpose of putting it in the oven to cure it, or see if more cracks would appear? I've seen a few people restore VW steering wheels, but I don't think any of them backed them. Jay

I love it. Just don't drive off a cliff. lol

Kinda reminds me of a lowrider with a high lockup in this picture. lol You should have started a Youtube channel 3 cars ago, you'd have 200k subscribers easy! Great work!

We've had several similar issues with shipping once it hits Detroit. I live near Flint, and once packages hit Detroit, they are usually out for delivery within 2 days. Lately, progress will be good until it hits Detroit where it will typically sit for a week before it moves on. I ordered a tool...

I see so many cars with carbs on them, and nobody near me can properly tune them. Lots of G-body GM products that people swap to carb, delete (some of) the emissions stuff and A/C. They brag how fast they are or how much power they make, but they run like crap. I've told a few guys they need to...

CCP?

I remember those from my early days installing car stereos. We installed LOTS of those. Was probably one of the better 4 channel amps we sold. Jay

Yes, on the steelies and dog dish hubcaps. I love that looks. Someday I'd like to do a 67-69 Dart with that setup. Also, is that old Kenwood amp a 744? Jay

Especially considering all the extra stuff you have to buy (chassis stiffening kit and transmission-specific crossmember). I was watching Junkerup on Youtube, and in his latest video, he was doing a walk through on a car he is building for someone, and showed a very clean way to do the trans...

Blame Kaelyn? lol

Just saw this on S10forum this morning. lol Nice progress.

Jim works so fast, he could probably finish this, and do another car if he's "working from home" before I'm supposed to go back to work on the 14th. lol

I was re-reading this from the beginning, and I can't stop seeing this piece as Pac-Man, 70's version. lol

It gives you an option for "Buy it Again" so, 3 more times? lol Full set for $140. Cheaper than steelies.

I used to use Rage Gold (and my boss switched to a cheaper lightweight filler, that works similarly) and we'd wait for it to get to what we called the "green stage," where it was not fully hard but was just beyond tacky. Then we'd used 40 or 80 grit to knock down the major issues. Final body...

Fixed. lol

I use Weldwood Landau Top adhesive when wrapping parts I build. Something else that works well is non-backed automotive carpet that you haven't sprayed with adhesive. I use it frequently because we usually have some around the shop. I might try the 6mm plastic next time I do something large. Top...

That is so counter intuitive. Weird. I stand corrected.

Pretty sure the padding above the kick panels should be black side out. Also, at this rate this thing will be done before January 2019. lol

I always feel like the next post will be some huge milestone complete. Like I'll log in tomorrow and it'll be painted, and by Thursday it will be put back together and she'll be driving it to school. lol You're making the rest of us look bad! haha Jay

That's cool that you got a Summit feature. Car looks and sounds great. I noticed you started this like 9 years ago, made me feel better about my progress (or lack thereof) and I feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (far away, but it's there! lol) Nice job. Jay

I'm not a huge fan of most of those, because the quality just isn't there.... But, there are a lot of bluetooth receiver units (typically designed for marine and powersports stuff) that you can put in the dash where noone can see it. Pioneer has an App called "ARC" that allows you to control...

We'll have to do something about that 2 watt AM radio. lol

I clicked on a Youtube video review of that blasting cabinet...which led me to find several videos about mods to make to it. Apparently, lighting isn't it's only weak spot, but it's a good start. If I had more room and a better compressor I'd pick one up. Nice progress. Jay

Gonna leave her intact until after Dream Cruise? Good to see you in a position to have a "fun" car again. I'll be following (on here, I'm taking a break from facebook) All my previous Mopars have been 1st gen Neon coupes. lol Jay

It's good to see him in a position to have a "toy" car again. He seems much happier in the last year or so. You guys gonna be out on Woodward this year? Jay

Bring Greg and his new car. lol

Just went through this from the beginning to get caught up. Great progress. Looks like you figured out the welder. Sorry to hear about your dad. My condolences. Jay

What are your plans for the Dart shell? (Sadly, I'm too far away and in the middle of a project to be able to do anything with it) That is my favorite body style A body. Hope it doesn't go to waste. Looking forward to progress! Jay
