She’s all epoxied up for sheet metal work.

Yes it was!! Thanks! Yes…that’s cuz I wasn’t married yet!! :rofl: We tied the noose 6/6/78 I didn’t realize at the time it was……D Day

Well, mama is giving me carp cuz I didn’t add her favorite picture so here is the lean on the car super stud pose from 1978 :bananadance::monkeyleft::icon_fU:

I did a little eye candy work under the hood while I was in OKC and she was looking nice. That Oklahoma red clay was a bitch to get off the car and the car washes the have pretty high pressure. On day I was washing it and angled the spray nozzle sideways and the paint just shot off the quarter...

So the wife was digging in the cedar chest last night and found a few pictures. This was the day after I bought the car in 76. This was the only pictures I had when it was Hemi Orange. I moved to OKC the spring of 78 to let things cool down. (Pre mother in law issues :BangHead: )

When I picked up the engine they gave me the old parts back. The complete valve train components were in the crate, including rocker tubes and rockers. When we discussed the build and he talked me into not using the original heads. He said he had a set of new heads from a project during Covid...

I’m adding a full QA1 coil over rack & pinion front with 4 link in the back. The Milodon oil pan is required for the QA1 upgrade. You have 3 oil pan type choices and I went with the baffled model to not starve the engine of oil when g loading. That thing must be made of GOLD for what it...

That’s a pretty go observation with the valve covers on. If you notice the price of the assembled heads you will notice that it’s a lot higher than the going price for 60925 heads. They got a packaged deal that included Proform 440-873 with new mounting bolts and push rods. That’s why the push...

I know it’s not the exact question that was asked but this is my resent cost. I pulled out my 340/727 and changing to a 440/505/TKX 6spd. All I had was a 71 440 date coded block that had a stock bore. It started out as a complete stock engine in 3 crates and the only thing worth savaging (per...

Well, looks like the front floor pan needs to be replaced! Since I have owned the car since 76, this damage was before 76 and I never noticed it before. I never really looked at the part of the car. The full front pan is only $372 from AMD so it’s an easy choice to fix...

Well, my bag of bones just got exposed to the world to see any hidden scares and blemishes! The media blaster just sent me the results. A little cleanup and epoxy primer tomorrow.

It was $1,600 + $300 color match and they are so back logged it was 4mths to get it back. With the DD setup and the green LED selected it will be the center piece of the car! Money well spent.:thumbsup:

It’s more just a little lip on it than stitching. But it was so long ago when I bought the car (76) that I don’t remember if it had the stitching look on it before.

I took mine to Just Dashes in Van Nuys CA and they did a fantastic job on it. They color match the paint from the bottom side of the dash that has never been exposed to sunlight. Since I live in Vegas I wanted to restore the dash completely instead doing the cheap pad cover glued on. The heat...

I am right in the middle of a complete rotisserie restoration on my RR. Small block/727 to 440/505 Stroker, TKX 6 spd with full QA1 suspension. One of the last things I need to work out is wheels and tires. I really like your ride height and stance!! What wheels and tire size, front and back did...
