Maybe some of you know, i was diagnosed with coloncancer with a liver-metastase on apirl 29th, 2011. Long story short...14 month war, and now..it's all good! I had an echo of my liver last week and it was all good. My blood-exams were good too.
Gives me new energy to jump on my car!!!

Hi Ron,

stuff back from the powdercoater!!

got some parts back from the powdercoater yesterday; starting to get her on wheels next weekend.

Mr4Speed · Dec 24, 2012

Mounted the freshly coated K-member yesterday. It is starting to look like a car again.

747mopar · Dec 24, 2012

Way to go, it's looking really good.

Mr4Speed · Dec 27, 2012

Pressed some new rubbers in the lower controlarms this morning;
put them in the k-member to take a few pics. Still need to have the torque-struts phosphated after christmas holidays.

Parts are a little bit dusty in the pics.

Anselmi · Dec 27, 2012

Looking real good Marcel! Were the lower control arms black on your car? Was the yellowish "Cosmoline" even used on these early B-bodys?

Mr4Speed · Dec 27, 2012

Hi Anssi!
i am not 100% sure, but i thougt that the bare steel/cosmoline-treatment started off in '68;
some cars of our era had bare controlarms, and i talked with Jim Schild and he mentioned that all the max wedge cars he has seen, had black controlarms.
But you know mother mopar...

vj318 · Jan 20, 2013
