I made the above post 5 years ago. Well, I'm still alive and the car went to the restoration shop this week!:yes:

Hi, I'm in need of an engine or block for an A12 restoration. A block with a Jan., Feb,. or March '69 casting date or '69 warranty block would be preferred. Thanks! WF

It was my first car. These were taken sometime in 1972 WF

I am looking forward to actually driving this car on the street although I will probably be afraid of the jackasses out there. I never thought twice about driving it at 125 on the track! WF

Thanks for the advice Steve. I have done Mopar restorations before (in a previous life) as part of my auto repair business. I have a pretty good idea of what I'm getting in to. I will be needing help on locating parts and finding the right people to refurbish certain items. I will need a...

Good guess! My budget is "I can afford it". I won't lose money because I will be doing everything but body and paint by myself. Sending it out to do a soup to nuts restoration is not what I ever expected to do. I've been working on these cars and cars in general since 1971.........and I have...

That photo is over twenty years old. The car (fortunately) was not consistently campaigned. Lack of money and time prevented me from beating it up too bad! It hasn't seen the race track for almost twenty years although it did win a NHRA Divisional in 1990. Almost put subframe connectors in it...

I would consider a concourse style resto if if I could be certain that I would not lose money on the car. This would only be a "matching numbers" car if I can locate the original engine. Don't know how much a non original engine would hurt the value. The car has not been tubbed and the heater...

I've been hanging on to this car for a long time. I bought it in 1976. The time has finally come for me to put this thing back together. It truly is completely rust free and has only 6009 miles on it. I thought that I would know what to do and how I would go about it, but not so sure now...

So nice to hear someone give E-Town some props for a change! Thank you! WF

I have a very clean '68/'69 rr/GTX hood (has '69 vents). I was wondering what it might be worth. Any ideas? WF

I would say no. They come with after market scattershields but not from the factory. WF

Should keep you busy for a while! WF

I still have an almost full bottle of Future in case I want to try it again. I have used it on parts like wheels to protect the paint and it works very well. It can also make kit glass look very good. I've used it on slot cars to add extra protection to paint and decals as they tend to get...

Thanks for the tip. I've tried Future a few times and just don't like it. It is very shiny but looks way too thick and out of scale. I have recently started using Testors' Wet Look Clear and have been very satisfied with it. Many of my cars are not cleared at all. I like the look of well...
