Anything new Earl? Merry Christmas!

Hi Dave !!
Merry Christmas to you sir.... I have always just copied the pics from my Facebook build page, and they started coming in OK, then in a couple of days they would disappear, and turn into Red X's ??? A
Anyway, Its been a great and very busy Summer/Fall !! Went to tons of shows/Camping trips !! Went to Carlisle (drove a Ramcharger), Also been working on Finishing My Dart I'm selling !! We have Grandbabies now to occupy some of our time. We also lost a great dog this Summer unexpectedly....All such as life.... My buddies recouperating from his accident slowly but surely...... I've been steadily working on the interior/Top all summer.... I did the interior except for Carpet and trim. Also, had the Interior man put on the new Top !! I'm working on the Console wiring, etc etc now, and aligning the Glass, adjusting the doors etc Now that the interior is in. The plan is to take her to Myrtle Beach Run to the Sun in Mid March for her maiden Voyage !!

I have no idea.... Car had been wrecked at least three times & back Brown, & then painted two different shades of white..... I just don't care for Black or white tops....

Factory top colours were white, black, blue.

Well, I've been doing tons of shows, cruise-ins, and took her to Carlisle !! I've ALWAYS driven my Mopars to Carlisle.... Well, since the big block is a gas guzzler, and turns a fair amount of RPMs on the highway, and not wanting to drive her in the rain.... I caved and trailer-ed her up there. Good thing I did, since Friday night after a great first day at the show. I went over a speed bump at the campground, that had a spike sticking up about 3 inches above the hump. Managed to destroy the 8 qt Oil Pan..... ( the little voices had been telling me it was to low ). so, anyway, Bought a 6 qt Max wedge pan and new standard oil pump and strainer ( to replace the high volume )..... and I was back on the road a couple of days after I got back......And I had a great spot on the corner right next to @Dave6T4 !!!

Did you buy the scoop for the hood? If so, where did you get it from? That is exactly what I want to put on my 66 coronet. Your car is amazing, the color, the lines, the drop top!!!

Jim Kramer in Herman, Pa. sells the scoops. 724-285-5566. Be aware that the '64-'65 Hemi scoop is different than '66-'67 scoop due to different curve at the back of the hoods.
