pics from a few years ago
Now bringing her out, into the Sun, for a bath.
She looked Hammered and tired
but there was a glow in her headlights.
I think she "Winked" @ me.
heard me Coming CTD 5 speed to save her.
Gots prty teeth (grill)
bleached blonde ?
OOOOOOOO
No top (vinyl)

As I opened the door, to the fresh smell of rodent
I could tell she has been abused
had been dragged out from the trees, still wearing leaves from decades ago.
the 4 speed ball was polished on the top, the shifter, full of slop.
At least the windshield (Cracked) looked better than the dash and melted wires

I look to the floor, the car is factory yellow, what is this orange /gray ?
oooo, that the floor Jack and gravel...

well, enough of that> poor girl > sad
Lets see if she still has Heart
WOW,resisted, creakin, hood springs, as I try not to bend the All ready Bent hood.
good news - correct radiator.
missing alt, water pump, and brackets.
no exhaust manifolds

check how she's breathing.... 2 Barrel ????? gonna need an oxygen tank.

after I caught my breath, about the purchase price
What's "H" got to do with it.
I'm there with trailer, she's looking for a new yard> Not a junk yard,
some say mine qualifies.

Started out talking nice to her. to rolling onto the trailer.
NOOOOOOOOOOO
All 4 drums locked solid
after 3 hours of tickling her brake adjust
finding out she also wears left hand lugs on the right side rear
right hand on drivers side..

finally promise new shoes if she would roll
she spit out the bonded pieces of brake shoe,
now we are communicating, at least the front wheels are wanting to roll

like a cow going to slaughter, her rear wheels dug into the soft ground,
had to winch her, dragin all the way.
she couldn't see the light, know she going into a strange barn
told her its okay only dodge in there, just keep a interior light on, two of them are swingers,
one is custom. something about a Big Inch small block.
.Don't worry about the Satellite , just a lot of hot air ( CTD)

So finally, figured what was wrong,
she suffered from a split personality > stuck in 2 gears...
in she went, nice dry floor and a roof.
make all of them hibernate in the barn.
Hasn't been horses in there in 30 years, only horse power > Mopar
But, still got to feed them parts to keep them healthy.

I promised the PO and his dad visitation when ever they wanted.
looking forward to all 3 of us taking it for a ride.
That's what it is really ALL ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!

of course, take turns Bangin Gears... ( They say she liked it, back in the day and wanted more)
them chevy /ford / guys, was always chasing her, couldn't never catch her,
even at a light.

They live the next town over (30) miles
one reason for this post ( so they can follow the journey)

Short story,
getting a Fresh built 340 > 268 cam
68 manifolds, TTI head pipes
All brake, steering, parts
brewers 4-speed
new Hurst pistol grip shifter and shifter
narrowed Dana 4.10

now , she's ready to dance and twist
may let her go to a few cruises as is.

she wants her skin to be like a slick banana
so, I'll splash her top with white vinyl
and a white strip on her ***, white nostrils (hood scoops)
with re-chromed factory bezels
after market hood piercing ( hood pins)
sides with yellow, but first I got to make more "Green"

got new lenses, (Windshield)
New Black carpet, Seats, and Dash pad
wears a size 10 > 10" rim
shouldn't hear any squealin from the rear> 275 ET Pro for rubber.
235-60-15 front size 15"x7" Rim
chrome exhaust tips
dual painted mirrors

borrowed some hand-me-downs from her four door sister (born in 70 also)
she didn't need the bumpers, valances, hood .

trying to shed some weight. she's weird> I think shes into Drag
racing and wearing fiberglass, smokes too...> Tires... BIG Time...., Thinks she's cool doing little wheelies.
Being the More door is wired different, don't think she knows how to signal,
won't turn, says she's straight> drag stripper.
So pull her harness out.. don't want to hold her back..
happy to wear a plastic dash cap /fiberglass dash
no key to her.
Just gotta flip a switch, It's ON
a little bitchie
drinks to much> E85

Santa left a pair of skirts (full quarters), I really think they fell off his dodge.
he does live in the snow belt.

February, Mrs Clause sends me a Bill, for quarters.
How is that fair...
I get 2 quarters, they get >100's< of bills

it's all worth it,,
every smile to the mile
I gonna take her lots of places
be proud to be with her, treat her right
"Bare rear (tires) and Full (fuel)

Now
gotta git to work
