That makes me think Im getting old!!! I never paid more than $500 for any of the 5 complete but non-running, rust free big block '68 Chargers I had "back in the day". I DID really go crazy once and pay $600 for a rust-free but incomplete 70 Challenger that I drove home once though...

Yup that's my car, minus the stripe, add "Dart Custom" belt trim and full wheel covers. Its funny how quickly things change- I almost sold the engine n trans out of it a while back!!! Now Im taking pics n documenting and worrying about date codes LOL!!! Im sure hoping Laysons comes through with...

Oh that sucks... There were some suppliers in the 3S (3000gt/Stealth) world that were the same way. Great when they great, but not so much when they weren't. But luckilly, Laysons is within driving distance. Nobody rips me off face to face...

The guy I spoke with seemed quite helpful and direct about the issues with getting it and the timing. Have there been issues with Laysons over getting stuff before???? Ive never dealt with them before...

Thats a pretty car...!!! Always loved that color, ever since my first car, a 68 Charger. Ppl hated on it but I love it...!!!

Perfect thanks!!! Not trying to be lazy, but its sooo great to just come to FABO and get answers haha!!!

Thanks ...much appreciated!!!

So for the resto-minded folks- are there any good publications out there that help with things like parts date codes, finding them/decoding them, proper fasteners and finishes, etc...??? State of the art has advanced a lot since my last resto in the 90s, and I've got lots to learn. I noticed...

Well finally took the time n heard good news!! Looks like Laysons DOES have some Dodge Floral material coming... But theyre a supply chain victim like everyone else, so itll be mid summer before it appears (at earliest). Doubtful ill be ready for it then, but Ill sure be buying it!!

A good thought... Im pretty comfy with the Carters, have had a lot of those over the years!!

Its the 225/904. Im going to build/use whats there for now, but if at some point I can find the correct carb, Id like to go with that. Not sure if the anti-icing manifold is present still yet. Ive been out of the correct resto game for decades, but finding out that this is a V1H car makes me...

Right??? Why not shoot for best case n see what happens??? After the V1H revelation, itll get a full go thru but...after replacing fuel tank, I even took it for a 300 yard drive...(in a closed lot) Brakes almost non-existent, pedaling it like crazy to keep it running, the noise of trim and parts...

Will do- all this is brand new to me, but im strangely excited about it. Have always had respect for the /6, but like I said before- until now, they were just in the way of the inbound big block.
