Doors all cleaned and covered in epoxy.

Floor came out really clean. Had some weird holes from when it was a race car, so we'll weld all those up. I'll upload the latest as soon as I can.

Engine is done! Came out to 505 cu in and is great to see running!

I was a Chevy guy as they were easier to find and parts were cheap. But, I always loved the Chrysler look. '72 Challenger would be nice, but I have a love for the B body. This Bee is my third Chrysler as I had a 1970 Roadrunner and a 1969 383 Bee. I finally found the one to keep when I got...

That's sweet! It would be great as yellow. I'll always remember the car that sucked me in, when it was, where I was, and what happened. The neighbor across the street bought a new 1969 Roadrunner. It was yellow with black stripes. I was 7 that summer. I was sitting out front watching cars...

Car was dropped off at restoration shop. It will be soda-blasted. Original glass is being carefully removed now. Rear glass done. Windshield Monday. Block went to machine shop yesterday. It will be deburred, decks equalized, align honed, oil passages opened, oil pickup enlarged from 3/8” to...

I appreciate all that. I’ve been asking for tips and recommended shops for awhile. I contemplated Graveyard Cars and my brother even admitted to calling Overhauled. They told him they wouldn’t guarantee using the original engine, so he told them to forget it. I even tried to find a place that...

Final decision made. I want to drive it, but I want a fresh start. So, I’m stripping it down. It’s going to the sand blaster, then the restoration shop for a new trunk floor and some minor rust and dent repairs, a new rear crossmember/shock mount, and subframe connectors. It’ll be sealed...

It’s not, but it’s creepy it’s so close! Texas tags are different and the hood is different. And my front bumper is trashed from being towed by it. Mine doesn’t have that triangle in the grille and has a small dent in the left front fender near the headlight that’s been there since at least 1982.

I just did. I was laughing because I removed the arm rests and they had cigarette butts and a soda/beer can pull tab that must’ve been in there since the ‘70’s. There were only a few shreds of the sheet left. It was there, but mice got to it when they shredded the seat padding to build a nest...

Thanks!!! I’ve been searching restoration places for parts. Never thought about a race shop!

Wow - all good points and adding to my list of things to consider before making that final decision. I think at a minimum I’ll do what needs to be done either way - like to go through the engine short block and get that freshened up while I source other things I know I’ll need. The guys at...

I’ve never heard of that. I’ll have to give it a try!

Thank you!

Thank you. I would prefer to go that route, but am a little nervous about a couple of things. For one, I see some rust starting to form around the bottom of the rear window, around the taillights, and one lower quarter. Plus, isn’t the wiring harness a bit old to trust? I ordered the...

Or put a go-wing back on it!

I know it wasn’t original. From the mounting holes, it looks like it was a Mopar “Go Wing”. If the pic uploads, you can see the holes and why I wish the trunk lid could be saved. I assume those are factory assembly line markings in yellow.

I never know what to say and am humbled. Thanks for saying that.

3rd try to attach a pic…
