Looks small next to the LARC at work. It's coming along nicely. Since getting last year, it's had...

- the shredded vinyl roof removed and body repainted in the original color
- new heater core and carpet
- Magnums and fresh BFGs
- rebuilt power brake booster
- new thermostat and upper/lower hoses
- re-cored radiator
- fresh set of belts
- new plug wires
- new front shocks
- eyeballed front end alignment

I still want/need to...

- replace the flexible brake lines
- detail the interior
- re-dye the headrests
- get all of the gauges lit and working
- replace the front seat belts
- fix the exhaust leak at the driver's side manifold, maybe with headers and duals

...and of course whatever else pops up in the meantime. I like the Magnums, especially against the Tupperware Tan paint, but I'm still tempted to do a set of slotted dish mags with bigs and littles for nostalgia's sake. This is my first Mopar, and I have to say I like how it's turning out.

Was that big old vehicle behind your car there loaned to Laura Croft for the film Tomb Raiders?
 
Looks great! Nice to see another late model A body restored!
 
Nice car! My first car when I was 16 was a '74 Swinger with a /6. My dad told me that if I blew up the /6, we could put a 318 in it. Well, he knew I'd never blow that damn /6!!!!
