There it is. I slept at the light.

Mid November. The MCACN website has the actual dates.

CHRISTINE may have had Arnie Cunningham under her subliminal spell, but my '65 Dodge, long nicknamed MR.HYDE, has me wrapped up in plain sight. Since most of you know how maniacally maddening this car project has become, it's only proper that this announcement be made here. After all, some of...

Never mind. I found them, though not like this one exactly.

Are these types of roll up outlets still available? Who makes them?

That's for sure. It's all in the Arithme-TRICKS.

What a bunch of elbow grease will bring in shine doesn't necessarily reward much in weight reduction. LOL. We're in the ounce count here, so here's the aluminum version coming in at 2.20 ounces. The factory casted steel part comes in at 5.35. That's a 3.15 shave.

Here's the underside of the door latch handle after a light hand sanding using 3000 paper at finish, then moving on to a light coat of Mother's aluminum polish. It will be mirror finish when finished.

Almost to the point of midway with the hand sanding at #800 paper. #1000, #1500, #2000, #2500, #3000, #3500, #4000 left to go before the buff and polish by hand.

That's quite impressive on both the fronts of ET and weight achievements. A 383, even at 0.60 over is a hard beast to get going unless with a good shifting 4 speed, stiff gears outback and spinning at heavens gate RPM's. What probably helped you immensely was the lack of carrying fat. Under...

Those are just dust boots to keep the joints clean.

A congrats much deserved Malex. What's your new ET and MPH breaker? Whats it weigh now?

All those different grades of sand paper will start to smooth the rough surfaces of this cast aluminum door handle and help masquerade it with a chrome like luster. Once I finish buffing and polishing it, I will put it on the scales one last time against its casted steel sibling to compare.

This car is so, so perfect period correct looking. Those white wall pie-crust cheaters out back along with the skinny white walls up front and the fender well headers? Nothing comes close to this kind of COOL. Enjoy throwing folks back four decades or so.

These papers will commit a sin by assisting in the art of deceit on a certain part that has been casted. Stay tuned.

............because it was an inside job right? LOL.

Now that Mosher has retired in his later years, and rightfully so, those mirrors are going to be back in stock and ready for shipment. He must have bought out every mirror on the shelf just to supply his armada of Super Stock creations. Beautiful cars.

I feel your lane. Driving on these mean streets is a heart attack at every turn without those extra eyes of a mirror. To think that on a regular production car, those door mirrors were only an option until 1966 -67 when they became standard equipment for safety reasons.

Though A864 and A990 factory cars weren't delivered with drivers side rearview mirrors, some cats just simply ran without them. If any of these cars found their way onto the streets, a mirror had to be introduced. Enter the Bob Mosher super stock cars of recent decades where he simply installed...
