So I figured I'd start one of these... Dunno why, haven't really done anything spectacular to her yet....
Rundown: Really, I want her more reliable than pretty for now... My plan is to throw a few bucks at it every paycheck until it resembles something worthwhile... Since I'm a body guy, I figure I'll throw money at the engine in the form of go-fasters and maintenance, and play with the body during the bulk of the pay period when I'm usually broke as a joke... Haven't decided on a color yet, but she's got a little bit of cancer in the sheetmetal that needs to be addressed before any sort of fancy paintjob goes on her....
According to the fender tag and a WONDERFUL resource provided by a member here (username escapes me), I found out she started life as a Silver Duster, silver in color with black/red stripe package, red canopy roof, 318, Automatic, AC, Lights package (trunk, map that I still can't find, glove box, under-hood), Boca Raton interior (that someone just HAD to f- with), and most of the other goodies available that year... She's actually quite stacked!
Craigslist ad pics:
How can you say 'no' to a face like that!?
"These here are the sleekest, sexiest lines American engineeres could come up with..." <3
Waking up to your own Mopar in the parking lot... Can't get much better than that!!
Night shift....
VERY clean interior!
318, in case you all forgot what these look like......
New tire!
Played around with Photoshop last night and came up with a very hasty and imperfect temporary concept image:
Black and grey are representative of primer... I'd like to replicate the 340 stripe complete with tag on the ***-end, but that is later... Once I get her all a solid primer grey, then I'll do the black.
And that's about it for now...
