She has been a blessing and I hope everyone is as proud of her as I am :color:

Just wanted to show here after she has gave me many many miles of intown driving and a couple of trips to Small Blocks and 66aCUDA's home
I took these pictures about 2 weeks ago between storms :smile:
The milage today is 63356, I have a perfect right side fender that was on a 66 barracuda radio delete car :thumrigh: and these are the before pictures I need to post before she gets new metal and paint dun this year :happy2:
So just incase I loose these on my computer I will have them here, Thank you for the space JoeyChgo :smile:

I just wanted to say thank you ALL :happy2::color:

I guess I could have washed her first, tree stuff on her lol.

Your car rocks Mike!!! BTW...love the ventshades :thumrigh:
Thank you :color: A cool member here with a 66 sedan with flat black fenders fixed me up with them :thumrigh:

Very nice car mike.
Thank you 1wild&crazyguy, It will be here many years to come :smile:

Sweet ride man....gonna keep the two tone??
Yes, she will have the correct color put on when she is painted, they missed the color on the cold, it should be a little more tan and less rose in the color.

She is so sweet.
Thank you Rev, she has been a sweet ride I take pride in every time we leave the hill together :smile: It's almost been three years and I have dun a few things to her and there is a bran new big valve shaved head under my bed that will go on after I paint the inner fenders and fire wall while the head is off.

well shoot, here it is :smile:

We need to get you a dual reservoir master now and splitter/combo block, don't want your brakes all going south at once, that'd be scary.
So true :smile: I need to ask whitch dual reservoir master cylinder and splitter/combo block I need to order from NAPA :thumrigh:
NAPA dealer here has been a good parts provider. What year parts do I need to order 1wild&crazyguy so all I have to do is install, or will I need to use a differant brake push rod from my peddle?

Lookin' great Mike!

She's a beauty.
Hay Tony :hello1: Treva said for me to get a bus ticket so I can make it to the Monster Mopar this year.
Or if Small Block makes the trip ride with him. Looking forward to meeting you and the family :happy2:
 
She really looks nice. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Paladin06, getting REAL close to having this old girl dun with my updates so I can take it apart and hang new metal and paint on here, but like 1wild&crazyguy said, I still have the dual brake system to install

Victoria is still looking great like the grand old lady she is Mike. :) Have a great day.
Thank you my Canadian friend :hello1: Looks like a sunny day here on the hill today for a change :happy2: I remeber this day when I sold the old home place on the hwy and parked here for a photo befor the home was gone.

When will you start the transformation of Victoria?I,m hoping later in the summer(fall).Then you can cruise the summer and have your Ramcharger for the wintertime.Enjoy your strongend MeMike!:thumrigh:
 
You know, at first, I was looking at that plant thinking "You're gonna paint her green?"
Naw! I will keep here the color she is as she came in to the world :thumrigh:
That was a picture of my Avocado tree I started by seed and it is know 15 months old, the seed was started when Buddy was 7 weeks old :color:
