WOW. Looks amazing.
I've been getting the interior order ready. Legendary is having a 20% off sale in celebration of the cancelled Mopar Nationals (it ends on Monday). So I need to start spending all that money in the next three days, on white interior parts - new door panels, headliner, seat backs, seat upholstery, yada, yada, yada. I just hope Legendary has the white upholstery and headliner in stock. The plastic parts I can get from Roseville Chrysler in Michigan right now. Last edited by njsteve; 08-09-2020 at 12:48 AM. |

That Roseville Chrysler dealer ship on Gratiot ave has a great display on vintage Chrysler parts. I walked in there for something one morning and was taken back on what they had on display.

Looks great, but what are you going to work on with all your spare time when it's gone?

Stupid question I bet - but after going to all of the pains to get this entire car so nice and perfect, WHY would you put the rad back in looking all grungy?
I realize that they all after some point probably looked like that with the paint chipping off and all - but after all of the other bits being so detailed and conforming to a somewhat 'as delivered' level, would you seek to make the rad stand out by it's obvious day 365 or more day appearance - just ask'n? |

No power brakes or power steering?

Nope. It's a manly car for manly men (and the wives that steal their cars away from them)
I may swap to power steering down the road but I'd have to find the rather unique and expensive, one-year-only, 1970 power steering column in order for that swap. The power steering columns are several inches shorter than the manual ones because the power steering box is much longer. As for the manual drums, I am probably going to upgrade to these guys ceramic shoes which have stopping power that is very close to the factory disc setup. http://www.musclecarbrakes.com/stage1.html |

I can see the MCACN display billboards now:
(Sort of like Better Call Saul) "Have you been sentenced to body shop prison?" "The Lawfirm of Dave, Dave, and More Dave is here for YOU!" "Rescuing wrongfully imprisoned auto enthusiasts for over ten years"" "If your cars been jailed, Dave gets it bailed!" |

Haha! Thanks guys, and Steve has answered all the concerns! Love it!
Yes, you forgot the 1949 Chevrolet 3100 and 1957 T-Bird (paint only) Cheers Dave PS: I used them on a 1968 Charger R/T I restored for a guy in 2010. They worked great! Last edited by A12pilot; 08-10-2020 at 09:36 PM. |
