1964 225 Slant 6 - 4 speed Manual

Weekend update. Finally pulled the pistons and crank out and cylinders look surprisingly good. Rod bearing looked good. A few for the crank bearings had some marks but nothing crazy. Off to the engine shop to get everything hot tanked and checked. I have also brought another project home...

Scored an A-Body 8-3/4 3.23 sure grip locally this weekend. Should be a nice upgrade. Came out of a 69 Barracuda S car. Not sure if i should just rebuild the drums or go disks?

First MOPAR back in 1987 i was 18 and bought a 69-1/2 440+6 Roadrunner. Paid $3200 sold the car in 2000 wish i still had it. Will have to dig up some pics. Good time cruising town and going to to drag strip on the weekends with my brother. He still has his 70 GTX 440 that he bought at the same...

Did you just do the tire well or the whole floor? That is the only place i have rust thru is around the tank bracket on the tire well. didn't know if the tire well floor patch is easy to put in or i should just do the whole floor.

I was looking into US Car already. Was thinking of just adding the torque boxes and not the connectors since i am only running a small block. Also didn't what to goof around with the stock brake and fuel lines. Did you blast the bottom of your car before priming? Looks really nice.

Started tearing the block down. Nothing alarming yet. Engine definitely has some miles on it. Got a quote to get the car dipped at Redi-Strip $4200-$4800. Not worth the money for this project.

I think i finally have every nut and bolt removed and all the old undercoating is off the car. I am now ready to start striping paint and see what i have to work with. Still on the fence on having some of the hard to reach stuff media blasted.

More undercoating removal this weekend, almost done...

Car in process.. 68 Notchback here in Lino Lakes. Also have a 41 Dodge i built on a 98 Dakota chassis 5.2 EFI

Started the engine teardown this weekend. Still not sure on the directions I'm going to take. Really want a street cruiser but still fun stoplight to stoplight.

Spent the weekend removing old dry undercoating. The needle scaler worked great for this.

I am finally in strip the car down to bare metal mode. So nice to be able to push the car around the garage with ease. Now i have till spring to get it ready for the body shop..

Well after taking a few weeks off to Deer and Pheasant hunt i am back at it.. The big project to get the engine out is now complete. It went way better then expected. The engine cart worked great, may need to make a few tweaks before everything goes back in. Mounted the front body cart...

Just incase you want to mod it, i found this info. I have a 68 Notch with a 318 that i may do this to. 340 and up came with dual exhaust.

Will do, Thanks. Nice work... I was looking at Stone Black but i think i like that Black Jack better..

Thanks for the link. Great info!

Yes, i am second guessing that decision as well for that same reason. Anyone know of a powder that is more like the stock look? We buy powder now from Prismatic and Cardinal.

Should be back to front.

Well all the seat frames have been stripped and painted and ready for upholstery. Guess i better order from Legendary soon so i have them in a year..haha. Still on the fence on color. Was originally white over black interior but thinking all black.

Already have a replacement dash frame that is rust free. I think i am going to powder coat it black wrinkle. Its a very light texture and i think it will look good. Used the same powder on my bumper brackets.

Weekend update.. Dash out and torn down. Only major rust on this car was above the glove box. Mouse house rusted out the latch area. Cleaned up all the gauge faces and started to rebuild. Face bezel will be a major project to restore. Thinking I will wait till its 20 below and i can work on...

I just took mine off and the right one is what they should look like. Flat on one end and bent on the other.

Weekend update. Ran some motor flush thru the engine and changed oil and filter. Also did a coolant system flush. Getting ready to pull Radiator and hopefully engine soon. Scrapping undercoating from inner fenders. Goo Gone is the ticket and made life easy. Rear seat frame back from sandblast...

Looking for a dash frame in good uncut condition. Thanks,

Front bumper and fender brackets blasted and powder coated. I went Black wrinkle.

Weekend update. Carb rebuild. Ultrasonic cleaned everything and back together. New fuel pump and filter. Fogged all the cylinders and it fired right up. Happy to hear it run before I pull it. Pulled dash lose and got the rest of the mouse crap out. Found the only bad rust on the car. Need...

Just started restoring this 68 Notch i found in a barn with all original powertrain 318 Auto. Will be keeping it that way.

More progress over the weekend. Fenders off, Grill off and torn apart, only one broken stud... Started painting bucket seat frames after blasting. Dropped off rear seat frame at sandblaster, too big for my cabinet. Fuel tank out. Gas smells vary bad, wonder how old it really is.. Cut off...

Front and rear glass out this weekend. Starting to remove all chrome trim. Pulled dash lose and ready for removal. Bucket Seat frame getting blasted and ready for primer.. Looks like the last time it was on the road in Denver it was going to college.. Haha
