I'll come out of my decade long hiatus to chime in on Bob's build thread, here. The last time I was in here, I had built an FJ6 '73 Plymouth Scamp for my girlfriend at the time, and I haven't built another A body until this car. I helped with most of the assembly work on this car, as it was...

Sorry for the late response. I got hung up working late. I will reply to all PMs.

Moving out of one project and no longer need my buckets. I will get pics when I dig them out. High backs, good springs, may have aftermarket upholstery on them, but the foam looks decent, backs look decent. These seats will work in any A body, but are correct for A, B and E body from '70+...

Sounds like we are on the same boat. Let me know if you need anything when you get ready to start wrenching again. I may be building a turbo 318 '72 Duster from random car parts and a random car that have sort of accumulated over time.

After that, I'm handing the new old stock key blanks over that I had cut and I'm out. Until I refinance MY house and place equity in bricks for garage walls, in lieu of gas pedal weights, I have to put on the brakes with Mopar work. It's good to see that you got your car done.

Hahahaha... I really have nothing to lose at this point. Each one of these attempts was at idle and shut down immediately after I noticed that it wasn't spinning with the valve cover off, like the others. Nothing is damaged, beyond the light burnishing on the lifter faces. Cleaning the bore...

Good afternoon. It's been a minute. After much hesitation and other priorities/ problems in my path, I have made it a priority to finish this project. I won't be driving the car anymore, but it's the wrench or yard art, no matter where it goes at this point. From left to right show my...

Nice. If you are into psychedelic, check out Ty's side project; http://youtu.be/JeOrBXEhOSA I think things will go smoother from here. Thanks, Tim.

One more thing we have in common. Hahaha...

That's the way to roll. We have a monthly here that drags out the weirdos. We get everyone and everything. The lowrider crowd shows, vintage Japanese clubs, rat rods, kit customs, etc. Everyone loves the variety and nobody gets any award. I wonder if the nut and bolt clipboard crowd does...

This. ^ I have never understood trophies. Perhaps when they were awarded to people among smaller societies with far less amenities, they would be a topic of conversation. China hutches full of gold plated plastic on marble bases get a chuckle now and then, but beyond that, nobody really cares...

My brother has an '88 7MGTE Supra. I have my '72 240 and my friend keeps her '77 Celica liftback over here. There is a red/ white vinyl top RX3 coupe down the street that I would love to build. All original down to the hubcaps. I think I would keep it that way. Not even bridgeport or B swap. I...
