Hi 493 Mike, ckessel. Mike, I will admit I like talking to the older guys better, I have trouble relating to the cars the young guys admire. ckessel, there are some runs on the bottom of the car, LOL they are in the clear and you forgot to mention overspray. Thanks Brian

Hi, Guys', I haven't posted in a long time. Sometimes life gets in the way. Drove the car a little but my MS made my uncomfortable with my abilities. I was lucky and able to find friends willing to drive it for me. We took the car to a couple of "Cars and Coffee" shows here and discovered...

Hi 440jimr, this is how that went......for a long time I procrastinated and then when I arrived at the decision to try painting them, Covid 19 showed up! Me, I'm a guy with just about every underlying medical condition possible, so I've been laying low. Maybe later this summer, thanks for...

POMONAMISSEL, your pit racer is very cool, thanks for the additional photos. I really like the small wagon tray used as a grille shell, very creative, Brian.

Mike, only a truly sick individual, or a classic car nut would do something like that! Brian

Hi vektro69, A few points for you to consider on your brake conversion. If you are just looking to improve braking over the stock drum system an OEM style system or kit in my opinion is the best choice. The largest diameter rotor with a single piston, floater caliper that will fit in your...

15 years ago I wanted to spice up my 1994 Dodge 2500 (with steel/trim ring/chrome hub caps) so I painted 2 wheels red and 2 wheels yellow. I even changed the left side tape stripe to yellow to match the wheel color. Well I still have two sets of different colored wheels on my truck. I still...

Hi Guys, I haven't posted for a while. I've been working on other projects and I needed break from this one. I drove the car a little and discovered with my worsening M.S. I'm not very comfortable driving the car. Fortunately I didn't have any trouble finding a driver........LOL. It's faster...

Hi Guys, as I posted previously when I drove the car back from the paint shop and put it on the hoist I noticed a pretty large stone lodged in the tread of one of the front tires. While I was digging it out I looked up and thought the underside of the fender is totally unprotected. I really...

KhryslerKid, your thread in my opinion, is the standard for how threads should be done! You have taken the time to clearly explain and photo document each phase of your project, including video tutorials on some unique portions. Like yourself there are many talented people on this site that...

Thanks Riverdawg, I'm not sure either. The car looks good to me with the black steelies but I don't think it photographs well, thanks again, Brian. roadrunner6940, thank you for your kind comment, Brian.

Hi Guys, like many projects I'm not sure this one will ever be done. I'm not sure I would know what to do with myself if it was. After the car had been painted for 9 months (during final assembly) it was time to re-rub the paint. I didn't realize how much shrinkage goes on as the paint cures...

El. Padrino, on my 66 Satellite we had the same issue, flush at the hinge, latch and above flush in the center of the sides. It did improve some as the seal sat with the trunk closed but still was high in the center. We ended-up adjusting the trunk so it was under flush at the hinge and the...

Fran, thanks for the reply. People like you guys are what make this site valuable resource. Thanks again Brian.

I thought you told me that the purists gave you a hard time about wrecking a perfect slant six car with 3 on the tree, maybe you were joking! Your car looks to be a lot of fun and is a bad fast street car, with a mega dose of Mopar personality. thanks, Brian.
