Got the car out not too long before I got sick and went to a local show. '65 belongs to a buddy that I dropped a 440 into for him.

Winter upgrades. Powder coated A body housing, in-line tube stainless lines, rebuilt 3.91SG 489 case and redrilled axles with moser bearings. Have some early super stock springs and adjustable pinion snubber too if I decide to raise the car a bit. Maybe it’ll make it fun to drive again.

Howdy haha, yes I had a pretty rotten '73 Duster I used a bunch of the interior from in this car early on. The original steering wheel drove me nuts.

Didn't you get beat by two crappy neons last year at moparty? Didn't feel like spending the money it'd require to finish getting parts to install it.

I don’t dwell on the past.

Hey Keg great to see you back Buddy .

 

[Kegan B]

I've not done much with the car in the last couple years, recently dug it out and dealt with some small issues it was having. Ended up developing an overcharging issue and swapped valve covers back to fix an oil leak it had. Still need to do a transmission mount on it though.

 

[Kegan B]

Time to dig into other small things that have bugged me for some time. Paint job is starting to show it's age but I'm not doing that again lol. Passenger side headlight bucket retaining spring is stretched so replacing it, grille could use a refinish. Then a fresh transmission mount and couple other things.

Looks Great Kegan, can't wait for more!

 

[RustyRatRod]

At least you cleaned it up some. lol

It still could use another wash, it was bad lol.

 

[Kegan B]

Got the grille painted today, way better. I know it should be more of a matte but I don't mind it.

 

[Kegan B]

Got the grille back together and in it yesterday along with knocking out most of the other small things on it. It came out pretty good, color is a touch darker which is fine with me. Also happy the stupid passenger side headlight no longer is sticking out of the bezel.

 

[Kegan B]

Well it vibrates less and shifts better now, probably should've changed it when I done the 4 speed but it didn't look this bad.

 

[Kegan B]

Finally finished with all the small stuff on it and had to see the grille out in the sunlight after redoing it.

 

[Kegan B]

Haven't really changed anything on the car, this is mostly so I have a note in case of future need lol. Went to bleed the brakes the other day and noticed driver side axle seal had failed again. So it got another seal/bearing then new shoes and wheel cylinders out back. Plus starter was beginning to fail and found a melted power wire so new cable and a magnum mini starter went in as well.
