Ha ha, Mr. Worman!

Either way I’d be banging that screen door right off the hinges
 
Do you mean sex ?

I never have seen the show and I don't think will do. Is nice to have a Mopar dedicated show thought, but is like the rest of similar shows, which are mostly Chebby biassed.

About Mr Worman, I lost the respect over him when a friend of mine contacted ( he was barelly begining with the TV show ) to ask a question about lower control arms trying to find differences between the A body ones and the B body ones... and after get his response we found out HE WAS WRONG!. So if he can't correctly tell the difference between A and B body LOWER CONTROL ARMS, what about the rest ?

Its Hollywood. I watch a lot of the car shows, and I take them with a grain of salt. Just entertainment. Sometimes I learn something. Just something to do after I come in from the Tx heat sweating gallons at a time so as to cool off little!
Closest I will ever come to a real OEM resto was back in the 80's when I could buy "surviving" original rusted, dented, and woreout stuff like '69Roadrunners for $1000 or less !!! lol
Maybe I under estimate myself, I still pant my cars in single stage!!!!! ha

Most were done in single stage enamel Or in Lacquer . My 66 was originally enamel. Then in 67 it was sprayed in Lacquer after it sustained some rear damage. So base/clears are not OEM specs Perfect gaps were never applied to old cars. Unless you owned a Mercedes of the time frame.
 
Yes those cars back in the day were acrylic enamel with hardner. They had good shine when new! I can get good gloss today, but I use acrylic urethane, it is more durable and better shine. But it looks nothing like bc/cc which I do not need nor like on my old Mopars. Just me.
 
All the bragging about who is going to do what to whom reminds me of high school...The guys that were actually doing it weren't talking about it...lol.

When I bought my new 1968 Roadrunner, the dealer sprayed on the undercoat. My current 68 Satellite was undercoated , and i think that is why it was so rust free underneath. However, if it was removed and cleaned painted, and I wouldn't drive it on salt. I don't think I would have it undercoated........................MO

Very true. I know a guy that worked at a local Chrysler dealer out of high school in '70 and he told me the factory typically just did a quick, careless application of undercoating if it was ordered that way. Part of prepping them for sale at the dealer was doing a much more thorough job of applying additional undercoating.
 
Let him who has no sin cast the first stone. Worman and most of you have forgotten more about Mopars than I will ever be able to learn.
 
Many years ago someone on here was restoring a 64 Plymouth and wanted photo's of a survivor. At the time I had a 12,000 mile original. I posted him photos of every drip,sag,run, thin spot and even the dent in the roof that the line worker musta' slipped with his screw gun while installing the dome light.And you are right, fit and finish wasn't a thing that it is today.
 
Had a 70 Challenger that had a bubble on the driver's side C pillar roof seam and this was a non vinyl top car. It was 10 years old when bought and the paint still looked new and the owner said the bubble was there when he bought the car new in 70! 18 years later after buying it, this nickel sized bubble was still the same. The finish on this bubble was nice and smooth too lol. You know, they used lead on the seams on cars without vinyl tops, right? At least that's what I was told and every car I parted out had it like that because just for the hay of it, I checked. The cars parted were mostly E body cars and what few A and B cars that were parted, weren't checked and just assumed they were the same. Kinda funny at some of the stuff that wasn't noticed or plain ignored during the build....

Agreed. About 10 years ago I decided to replace the original vinyl top on my Charger after noticing a small area of bubbling underneath. It turned out to be an easy minor fix, but the odd part was while removing the old top I saw that the factory applied adhesive on the driver's side half of the roof only. How was the passenger side secured? By the stainless drip rail molding. At least I only had to spend half the time removing old adhesive. They must have been really pushing them out the door back then.
