Hawk-Rod: The Restoration
- Thread starter HawkRod
- Start date
Due to the first trip's success, I am definitely planning another, but I am afraid it won't be this year. A bit of a drive to get to Yosemite for me!
Love the middle pic - open Air Grabber, sexy R/T tail panel. The last pic of the cars would be a classic too if it weren't for those funny looking guys in the way!

Hopefully I will have a running car next time you come out this way...
Awesome. The more the merrier! I'm sure we could get Rich and Darius and likely Stu and a few others too! I'll tell you, driving out of the canyon that day was so much fun. We didn't do anything dangerous or stupid, but drove our Mopars like they were meant to be - no idling in the slow lane for us!

Dennis and I always drive like this, is there any other way??????

The engine harness that I modified has had no issues - so far, so good! I also like that it looks very "factory like", so it blends in well. So far, no regrets...
There are certainly some people who are SO cautious of their restored cars that they barely drive them, and when they do, they CRAWL. Not us!!!!

Did you buy it modified or make it?
I bought a M&H (Year One sells them) new harness (did this for all my wiring on my car) and I modified that. The only one I needed to significantly modify was the engine harness, although I unwrapped and re-wrapped my forward light harness to incorporate the A/C wire for the pressure switch. In my case, I hid the dryer and pressure switch behind the grill next to the condenser.

You bought the points harness?
Actually, no, I bought one pre-modified for Chrysler electronic ignition. When I got my car, someone had already converted it to electronic ignition, so that's what I got. Once I installed the Fuel Injection with the computer controlled timing, that wasn't needed. Unwrapping and modifying the harness itself was easy. Trying to properly design everything took some more time.

Hey Bro....next year?? Dont forget the hippie, i might have something rolling then.....the Fireball is first, bad as i want to immerse in bug...times getting unpredictable, i want my escape pod ready for possible road warrior daze....really want to put Tundra eng/trans in, but wouldnt be practical in crisis...10.5: 1 comp. Im going to flex fuel it...make it run on chittiest gas i can....wood fuel is priority choice....find wood anywhere...right? So it wont be a hot rod,well, ill still slam it and pony up the suspension, but it is a mopah.
id definitely do an outlaw run to meet You Guys.
iwas poking about looking for Louis, 71Airgrabber....anybody heard from Him lately? Thats killer You & Dennis got together, He's a Great Guy...i met Him @ Fall Fling 15, was a killer time. I wanted to make Reno, but not happening...hopefully FF VN again in Nov. Peace.....in the tight stuff, even in the RV, ill stay in Your rear view...lmao
Trust me, with a 46 year old stock engine, my car is hardly at the top of the heap from a power perspective. The key is to get out there and drive and enjoy them!
