Engine is in and the project continues. Haha. Cheers !

Been quite some time since my last update... a long while actually. I’ve had a second car in the works and it’s on the road now. Got back on the Dodge... and only someone a little wacky would pull out a perfectly good running engine to paint the engine bay. I had done the engine and hadn’t...

Thanks! The floor would just need to be lifted out to get it the spare tire well. I’m still looking for a compact spare that would work with my tire setup. For now, here in Cali, I have AAA roadside service that will tow me 100 miles if needed. The car has some special features for sure. I...

It’s been a while since my last post. I had worked on a package tray for the audio system the last few days. Came out pretty well for my first French seam attempt. Not perfect, but works for me. Also, I followed the seams from the rear seat through to the tray to one, break it up and two, look...

Been working on the car a bit, but have been busy with work, so I’ve slowed down a bit. We made it to the Inland Mopars Show this last Sunday in Riverside. Lots of questions and inquiries about what I had done with the car. Great company, cars and venue. Looking at the trunk panels I made...

Got materials this last week to finish the trunk panels. Little bit of padding, carpet, leather and time. Weather was good and made lots of progress. Have some black paint to add to clean up the trunk edges and striker. Also need to make my brackets for behind the panels so they stay put...

Been working on the car a bit. Had a power steering leak at the box valve. That was remedied with help from the forum. Thanks!!! Made it down to the Spring Fling as the real maiden voyage with the air conditioning. It did really well. Nice to see the diversity of all the cars there. Also...

Haven’t been on here for a while. Here is a little update. Been busy working on my VintageAir set up. It’s all done except for vents and some small details. Blows hot heat and cold air. Pretty happy so far. I’ll get better pics up of the set up later. I’m away from home till Friday night. I’m...

The car came out amazing. The craftsmanship is truly inspirational and the outcome shows the dedication you have to the hobby. I look at your thread for ideas and thank you for sharing your adventure. Right on!! Cheers!!

Little update. The color sanding is complete as of this afternoon. Overall it came out really good. I’m stoked to have it moving along. I still have to put emblems and doors together. I have little engine bay things to do, but moving on from here, will be a better looking package tray and trunk...

Well, after driving the car around a couple days and working out any suspension bugs, which really were nonexistent.....I’ve parked the car and have started the cut and buff fun. It’s gonna take me a while as I only got thru a few panels this weekend. (Fenders, hood, cowl, and passenger door.)...

Looks like you’ll have a cool project to play with. Congrats!! I used the Legendary interiors parts and werent too hard to install. It’s not all perfect but I’m happy with my results. Leather touches are kinda nice to break it all up but still look factory. The color sanding will commence in...

Thanks! The interior has come along nicely. Taken a while, but well worth it. There are so many more thing to get done, but hoping to get it to some shows this spring. Cheers!

Just a little update on my never ending project. Haha. I have almost finished buttoning up the interior. My emblems have be installed and they are awesome. I finished installing all the seats in the car. New rear view mirror, inner handles, armrests/bases. I had wrapped my dash in leather and...

Just a little update. I’ve been working on these since September. I got my chrome set of medallions back and they turned out well. I also fixed my backing design and had them CNCd as well. The set is pretty much ready to be finally placed on the covers. (I’ll have one other complete set)...

Thanks! This hobby is a pretty cool one, I must say. For me it’s the little details that make the puzzle come together. I find if I don’t have a piece... I get creative. I’ve used this site as an awesome resource not only for info, but parts and encouragement. The collective of folks found...

I’m too am finding out how little parts are produced. I could find the medallions, but just weren’t up to par for me as I was putting new skins on the seats. So, some computer design, 3d print prototypes and finally the billet CNC versions. I’m stoked to have great pieces that were deigned to be...

Just a little update on my 67GT progress. I’ve been working on my first attempt on interior upholstery. I bought legendary products and Im in the process of stripping and covering the frames. Kinda fun to see it all come together. I’m wrapping the sides and backs with the same leather I did...

I am still active duty, have 12 years to go. Sorry to hear about your misfortunes on the job. Hope your holidays are bright. Cheers to you!

I’m glad you like the color. I hope you are feeling ok, and if your profile is accurate, we are more than MoPar brothers, we are brothers of the thin blue line. Thank you for your service! Cheers!

I looked at what felt like one hundred blues. I didn’t want too much of a purple flip. I wasn’t going stock on the restoration so I wanted a newer type of pearl/metallic paint look but still a classic looks I love the color I chose as it does pop like I wanted and the chrome really makes it...

I do like pictures. Hahaha. Sorry. I’ve tried to document what I’ve done. The grille and rear panel came out really good. (Expensive as mentioned in other posts) but those two things really make the car look complete. The quarter was pretty simple (as panel replacement can go). My original...

Okay I’m gonna try to load up some pics. I’ll make the explainations short as I know you all like the pics better than the rambling. Engine was next. 360 with a 904. Built to cruise. Nothing special. First engine I have built I have less than 1000 on her but running strong. Dougans Engines...

The car began as a GT, 273, automatic on the column with a 7.25 rear end with drums in the corners. I wanted a little more knowing I wasn’t going to put it back to factory specs. I wanted to do the project with my boy and for the family to be able to drive it. First order of business was...

Your car is amazing. Great job!

When my brother owned the car, I remember him, for lack of better words, beating the snot out of it. If there was a dirt road or rocks to run over, he was game. The car over all was in decent shape when I got it. His friend who owned it, had it in a garage for twenty years. The registration...

Haha. Oh... I have the in between. Just figured since it was getting close to done you’d like to see where it is now. The rest of the thread will be the adventure.

Good evening all, I’ve been on this site for seems like years, and have failed to start a restoration post. Not sure if all know my story of my car but here is a brief history. My brother bought the car in 1992 and blew the motor in 93. Brother graduated high school and sold the car to friend...
