A lot of cars I have had, I go get a classic plate on so they are registered in my name. The only way this works is if it is still in the system. So this car being alive in Manitoba probably keeps its whole life active. This just got traded with the RT. It has a pink card currently registered...

Now the painful wait until next week when I can get it into the mechanic!

I got a tidbit of history today on the car. I went registries to get the out of province request, and the young lady told me the car was registered in BC until around 86 when it went to Manitoba. She could not give me the data but shared that with me. Gotta love it when car girls work in places...

You fellas are correct. It is frickin solid. Steve it was a 273 originally. But I have a 340 here and know of a 68 340 nearby. I’m going to wait for a bit and see how this 318 is. Maybe it will be just fine for a while.

Slid in from underneath. Certainly not my prettiest welds ever! Because I had a big wind blowing my shielding gas away on me. Had to move the smoke out though I figured. Now the welds look better!

I have to do an out of province on this so I may as well get at it! lol. No. StuBBle is safe! I’ll just make a piece for here out of flat. Off to make a patch.

That makes sense. Then the fact that the rubber creates a Vapor barrier never lets it dry up and it rusts.

Ready for a little POR 15

This is the first time I have been able to use the hoist for work vs storage. I love it!

As expected! I have to use snips to cut this out vs a disc. I’m going to make as little dust as possible here!

Here are a few more shots of various things. I have not removed the back seat to see if it has a broadcast sheet.

Alrighty then. First off, thank you all. I am getting happier each time i look at it. Green is growing on me, as is a happy wife! You know what they say, Happy wife, lots of strife! So the 80's restoration had a couple patches done on the quarters, As far as I can tell with a magnet, they did...

LOL I knew you would like the Green! You and Tom both! Penner's. You know that dealership?

Thanks all. I am quite happy. The lucky thing for me is Green is the wife's favorite color. :) I actually think this is a very nice green.

Engine bay….

I just made a trade of vehicles. Some of you know I had a Hemi Orange 71 Challenger RT. After many years of owning it, grandchildren being invented, and general life getting in the way, I decided to post it up for a trade. I really didn’t expect it to happen so quick, but it did. I traded the...

Forgot all about this car! Absolutely beautiful. I may have to use a few tips and tricks here as I should have a 68 here soon. The hoist / rotisserie may be the first! Awesome work as always.

Son of Gary T. You have a great car there. We all regret some of our decisions. But we also appreciate the outcome of the vision. Keep the vision. That Duster will rock your world for years to come!

Thanks Tom. I agree, it really is starting to look cool again, and it is solid enough to pass an inspection if I made it run.

Thanks again Sir. I am glad my work is entertaining…….one way or another!

Thanks again Randy. I do love seeing the fruits of my labors. There isn’t much more satisfying in life than seeing changes you’ve made or helped to facilitate, in cars among many other things! Sharing entertainment is a great hobby too.

Thank you very much Sir. That may be true, and I do appreciate the compliment. I'm self educated through this site, so thanks to all. But your knowledge sharing input is far above many of our abilities here. Way above mine for sure. I will be using your talent when the time comes to make it...

One year to the day.

I often think about undoing things later, but doing it solid over rides the temp fixes even if I change plans! Yup, more work.

Pretty well rock solid. Now just the small parts to do. I use self tappers to suck the floor down. Then remove one at a time and bevel the hole with a drill. That way I weld the hole in the frame and a bigger pocket in the floor pan. Very good connections.

Im bored again so it’s time to take on a big one. The rail is only damaged under the floorplan. I’m going quite a bit ahead of the damage with the new piece. I pulled it into place long ago, but it took a while to find a repair section. A bunch of hand calculated squiggley lines and away...

I got bored so I messed around with some blue paint.
