The car is strip down to a shell and is at the body shop,here is the day we got her.

Nice car, really like the all white. How did they come to know about you? I've seen that paper before.

 

[ddpsnake]

Word of mouth i guess.

 

[Charger72]

That would have been my guess. Do you have a build thread?

 

[Car Nut]

Looks good, start a build thread if you haven't already.

some wear its here.I don't realty get into it anymore,when one does not get much feed back it kind of makes you thing why should i bother.

 

[Charger72]

No I get it, I figured I didn't have the correct "Mopar" for some sites.

Yes, I've seen this paper as well. I will keep my eyes open for it and a chance to read your story.
That would be kinda neat for sure, congrats.

Looks like a great project.
As far as your not getting much feedback on a thread you started:
a. you're a fairly new member with relatively few posts - the "regulars" here take a while sometimes to warm up to newer members
b. this sites' architecture is such that there is just such a vast amount of material to view that it's often easy for folks' threads to get lost in the mix
c. most members actually don't post much - but they do read a lot

The title of this thread concerns me a bit: "It's about time".
It almost implies you've been waiting for someone to notice what you're doing, eh?

I've posted several threads on here as I go through the trials and tribulations of what we all go through when sorting these old cars out.
I have also gotten a bit frustrated in the past when I didn't think I was getting sufficient responses to them - but here's the thing;
a lot more people are reading than responding - and getting attention isn't why any of us should be doing this to begin with.

I happily post threads now without the slightest concern for who is going to reply or even read them. I do it now as a sort of journal for myself to stay motivated - and if someone stumbles across one of them in the future and finds something helpful in it, the more the better.

You'll find this bunch winds up being among the most supportive and helpful in the hobby. I did.

 

[ddpsnake]

I will keep that in mind,thank you.And yes its nice to be notice once in a wile,eh.Go Leafs Go.

Looks like the car used to be yellow at one time - I wonder if that is the original color.

Yes it was yellow and the original too boot.Going blue.

 

[71Beeper]

Do you have any more pics to share?

 

[ddpsnake]
