For the Love for my Father, My 69 GTX Restoration

[moparnation74]

told ya you need a TV show!......... you are way less annoying than that no talent gas monkey hack

Great Idea! I don't think the certain network could handle the "True" reality that goes on in FBBO!

Prime example look at what happened to Ed on Wheeler Dealers....total BS what they did to him......

Poor Ed; he hasn't done anything else other than post a few YouTube videos on his Where's Ed channel. They aren't worth watching, though.

As for me I look younger than what my body tells me.....turned 43 this year.....my wife is 4 years older and she looks 20....trust me I do throw the old lady comment around...We crack on each other btw....

Aha, so you have a Mrs. Robinson thing going on. The only thing better than that is if you were to say that she was one of your high school teachers.

You'll have to wait until you're 86, then.

I hope so but have my doubts. My family tree either goes 90s or 60s not much in between. I worry about all the chemicals I was exposed to as a kid on the farm, industrial painting 10 yrs & welding for 25 years. I try to take care of myself now, hope it's not to late!

BTW 43 makes me think of Petty!!!!

Darrin,

What is interesting about Sue is how quiet and reserved she is in person. She has a clean cut professional personality. She came out to my car to help remove the seats and boxes and I said, "no worries Sue I will handle it." She wouldn't have it and unloaded the boxes. Then with everything out she looked over each seat, each box and each part....Inspected everything before I was able to leave. I will tell you that place for a saturday in the short time I was there. Probably, ten or more customers stop in...I always heard how widely respected she is around here and I witnessed that first hand yesterday....

A face only a mother could love. LMAO J/K Justin.

I couldn't hardly stand that show but loved Sue... funny lady for sure and talented as well. Really cool that your using her for your seats.

Also nice putting another face to the name.... I'm only 2 years behind you.

So a bunch of us are around the same age, eh? I just turned 40 in Jan.

He stood up for what he thought was right and I applaud him. Shitty of Velocity to change the format of the show. The new one wont survive 2 seasons. Bank on it.

Looks great like new and done right, Great memories, I had many with my dad with the 73 Charger he helped me fix it when I was 17 and did not know much. He replace a stuck and clogged push rod after I purchased the car and many other driving and camping memories with the Charger... thanks for sharing your story.

Just down to the odds and ends pieces.....

Here we have the Air Grabber air cleaner assembly. The lid and the base was restored by Totally Auto. The base hardware is the original. Air cleaner decal is from ECS and the wing nuts for the lid are from Frank Badalson. The Fram element is a later NOS replacement and long ago I bought a case of them...

Friday the glass man came over and installed the front and rear glass....The front windshield is finished and he has to come back to finish the rear glass(I will update this for reason I will explain later)...

The glass came from ECS and fit perfectly....
