Great job Red! I've got the RoundUp in my calender - hopefully I'll be able to make it! Work has slowed, but I do have some more pictures to post. Sort of have run out of money I feel I can spend on this right now. ;-/

Thanks Leanna. If the picture on your website is you - and I suspect it is - your defiantly NOT a guy, and not all that small where it counts! :snakeman: I've worked for international corporations and Mom 'd Pop company's; I know which one I prefer! Since being laid off (again) I've found that...

What kind of prep did you do to the bumpers before painting them? Did you have the chrome stripped or?? Thanks!

I just put 245/60-15's on the rear of my '73 swinger on MoPar spec rally's (4 1/4" BS) with no issues. I suspect you may have a little rubbing on the wheel well, but you might be OK with just a little lip roll or trim. Be sure to post pics of them on the car! :worthles: :-D

Today was a very good day! Have I ever mentioned that I hate Washington DOL? In Washington you can either go to a government office to get license plates, or an agency. The Gov't office saves the agency fee of $10, but you have to deal with gov't workers. Let's just say the trip yesterday did...

No Bill, I'm not young. Well, maybe compared to some here, but I have a 21 year old son! CudaChick - In hindsight, I should have taken the wheels to my buddy Bob. But, Bob does mostly commercial stuff (government and industry) and I like to help local "little" guys when I can. That said, JR...

Definitely interesting and different! I was just talking with a friend today about stripping the bumpers on my '73 Swinger and painting the bumpers. Now that I see your, I may just go that route. I'm not sure I like your grill, but I may also do something "different" with my grill. Viva la...

Nice, I love the old land-yacht's. Their is a '68-ish Coronet 4 door down the street that I suspect doesn't run but looks solid that I check out every time I drive by. ONE project is all I can handle though! Love the color too. Nice cruiser.

Nice mess. :) Your going to have fun with it, I can tell.

That is a SWEET '75. I really like the white with black bumble-bee stripe. Here are the tires I picked up yesterday for $40. Don't you just love a smokin' deal? I think something is missing here..but it looks like the tires are going to fit the wheel wells a little better than the...

Nice car, I like the body color rally wheels, something a little different. :) Ken

Some days your the windshield, some days your the Bug. Today, I was a bug. Ok, 3 hours of sleep didn't help. No reason for it, I just had insomnia last night. I took my wife to work so I could go pick up the wheels from the powder coater. When I grabbed them, I thought the powder looked really...

I really like that look, the gold tuck 'n roll has a very cool 'old school hot rod look. Good job man!

Not a lot done this week. Monday I went to Specialty Wheels LTD and picked up my two 15"x7" Rally's and ran them over to the powder-coater. He called this morning (Friday) and my wheels are ready, but Mrs. Frogpirate has the Forrester and I don't want to make 2 trips on the motorcycle, so I'm...

With Sam bringing me the 2 14" rally's and a member here offering me a 3rd, I had to make my wheel choice. I was thinking about cop rally's or plain steel wheels w/dog dish's, but I finally decided to go ahead and use the rally's. I am going to use the 14x5.5" on the front and 15" x 7" on the...

I removed the molding just because I like the look a little better. Your right, they would buff up really nice. I will probably take off the upper body molding as well by the time I get around to paint (well down the road!) Just not a big fan of side moldings on these cars; I think it's the old...

Nice job 72Demon! I hope my '73 turns out that nice. Hmm, Maaco huh? Hell, you can spend $500 on paint products alone.

Bring it on Cap'n! Send us a new story, and then go out there and give The Duke a little love. ;D

Whew, that took forever. I put the seat back in the car yesterday afternoon, and bolted it down for now. Back in the car! I swapped headrest's left for right so that the sun-baked parts (as you can see on the passenger's side) get a little break. If your wondering, the axle clips are 3/8"...

Nice seats, and a great price! What part of Washington are you in? White with black bumble bee would look good, not your usual cookie cutter. :D

Thanks for the comments jtisdale. pettybluedart - I've done longer road trips, although usually on my motorcycle. I did a 15,000 mile 18 day trip in '07 on my motorcycle, and went through Montreal. Today started too early, 4AM! My wife had to go to China Lake Navel Station on business, and had...

Nice car, great color, and awesome screen name. Are you sure we are not brothers from different mothers?? :D Love the pictures of your son in the car. My boy was in the garage at 3 "helping" me wrench on the circle track car ('77 Monte then); he is 21 now!

I like the dash mods - I'm planning on doing the same thing. I'm either going to find a no-trim dash frame or possibly fill the holes (maybe even with rubber plugs, in a faux-factory trim delete?) so I can loose all the wood grain. Please post more dash pics. LOL, and I was just looking at...

Doh! I'd love to have that seat. Hmm, we have a friend in Toronto we've been meaning to visit... :D Bill - I don't think it will ever be a "show winner" but I do believe it will be a FUN ride! That's the goal anyway. Just a fun ride for the wife and I to cruise in..and maybe take down the 1/4...

Thanks Sneke_eyez! I went up to the furniture upholstery shop Friday AM to get the springs. They were able to make the side springs, but not the seat spring. They were not able to make the bends as sharp. Actually, the guy had a really hard time bending the springs to the shape that MoPar did...

Thanks HG800. My avatar is also my tattoo. We woke up this morning to a duster-ing of snow. Time to make room in the garage. Since the seat is out and torn apart, I found a box to sit on. It's kind of a funny box, because it's an old copier toner box that says "USED" on it and next to...

Very nice Red! You wanna send me some of those left over springs? :D The only minor issue is that the Parchment seat cover is almost $500, vs $300 for black. I don't mind replacing springs myself, I don't mind installing the springs, but I know that making the cover is beyond my skill (I've...

I should be able to make that! Yes, some people don't understand the *** search... OK, I got a late start today because I woke up feeling like poo. I guess I may have over done it yesterday. Anyway, it was 1pm by the time I made it to the garage, so not a lot of progress today. I wanted to...

Thanks Bill! I'm not sure the PO really knew what was lurking under all that trash. When looking at it I naturally tried to negotiate the price, but he sounded pretty firm. The price was good, so I settled for having him pay the locksmith to make the trunk key and paying for the Oregon title...

Thanks hippo! That would be bitchin'! :love4: As much as I like red, a little black thrown in spices it up a little.
