It looks simply scrumptious. That car is gonna ROCK!

Yes, I agree, it’s beautiful! But, are they ever really done?

That is one luscious color, and a beautiful job laying it down! Keep up the great work!

Wow, is they a clean little Scamp. I love the color combo. Here’s to many happy years with Bonnie by your side!

Yet another reason to love him!

B5, original paint. Before (after sitting for 42 years) and after I hand rubbed it out with compound. It’s a 70 car, so it would be apples to apples with your 70.

Let no stone be unturned, nor jackfukkery not reversed!

I like the patina too

I would say that anything Mopar related in the “Members Restorations” would be a welcome subject. I’m rebuilding my plow truck right now, a 1990 Ram, not that I’m going to start a thread, but if someone else had a truck resto going, I would be all eyes, and ears!

if you’ve seen Jim’s cars, you know it’ll be better than new!

there is no front or rear window trim on a 66 sedan. All you get is the gasket, the Mylar biscuit that expands the gasket, and in the back there are 4 little corner trim pieces because the gasket comes to a corner. The front is more rounded at the corners and the Mylar strip goes around the...

I’ve got this if you need trinkets or pieces!

I don’t know why I haven’t seen this thread, but holy cow are you doing some fine work. It’s more like a work of art than just a car resto. I must say that you will know every inch of that car by the time you’re done. Keep up the good work, it’s very inspiring to see.

yea, Nella was pretty crushed, she really worked hard on the project. We’re going to make up for it tho with her book, she’s very excited about getting that published. We got a call from Simon and Schuster today, we shall see what they say!

I’m sorry to tell you Dion, that the video Nella and I made had a small flaw that made the entire video unable to be published. Long story short, we used a Cake song, “Stickshifts and Safety belts” through the entire video, not realizing that is was copyright protected, and as such made the...

Wow, this was a fun read. I love the car, and you did a great job bringing it all back together. Hoping the motor install goes without a hitch. It’s nice to see another car make it back to the road.

Awesome pics Caleb. It looks like a great time racing around with Kegan, what a great way to spend some time with your car, and good friends! I like the hDK and brake upgrade plans as well, that should help you beat up on that Neon! Go get em, Tiger!

Hmm, looks familiar.

Well, I was just cleaning out my inbox and came across this thread, which I never finished. Long story short, not long after the WPC show that year, I had an offer for the car without the motor, $1800 I think it was. I don’t remember, but I think it was bought by a member here who drove all the...

If you’re running that radiator, I can give you all the pulleys and brackets from a 69 318 I have here that came out of a Cuda. Are you running power steering or manual? That will make a difference in the crank pulley.

Yes, do as Rob says. Take it at your own pace, and use your time as a relief from day to day duties. It will do your heart and mind good, and the next thing you know, things are done and you’re moving on. More motivation in jobs well done will yield more jobs well done, next thing you know...

Actually Matt, it came from a parts car that I bought from these 2 Moparheads down near Nicks place.

I have a rear seat for you Bob, complete with the hinge setup!

Word on the street is that AOC has already ordered the elimination of barn dust by the year 2029, seems critters that live in barns must’ve “contributed” to her cause, as they have been wrongly corralled into the stereotype that all barns are dirty, and so they must be dirty too! Get it while...

And I didn’t even charge him for those holes, or any of that Michigan “patina”. They were also covered in “barn find dust” , I guess that’s why they’re so rare!!

Great job!! But, are they ever really done??

Send grandpa over when he’s finished with jasons car, I got a few things he can do!! :-)

In regards to the A/C system, my advise would be that if you have to have A/C, you would be much better served getting the aftermarket A/C setups now available than trying to piece together an old antiquated system that is inefficient, hard to find parts for, and is unable to run any coolant...

Ok, first, this is a long journey, not a quick trip. Plan your build now and stay firm to your vision. If you’re truly set on a big block, then set yourself on that road learning what that means. It’s heavier than a small block, so heavier duty items are needed in driveline, things that are not...

A big yes to this for sure!
