enjoy Mitch, life looks good from here, stay young my friend
Been having a little trouble wuth my eyes lately too, i cant see myself working in this cold...
Hope they find whatever is bothering your eye.
Been there done that. Too many times.
Way to cold , glad I took advantage of my day yesterday, in the teens today, some snow early tomorrow morning
Well took the surrounds (grill frame) off the 67 yesterday.
Re-painting the black stripe looks like there will be some trim taping involved.
The stripe looks good, but has a couple noticeable paint chips on it.
I think maybe I'll just touch those up before I tape.
Might just pass the judges (wife) look.
And she's tough when it comes to "her car"....haha

Just the facts, ma'am
Friggn alerts not working.
I agree that's a lot lift and high rate ramps. I can see why you're shying away from the stamped rockers.
Have you seen those posts about using spacers on the rocker shaft supports?
Here's some I was thinking of
Which rocker arms would you run?
Pushrod length after milling heads
Seems like Mike at B3RE is a good source of info on this

Really? I threw away better ones than that. 66 dodge dart headlight bezel | eBay
Wow some serious taping involved there. I don't think you could ever get that straight enough.
How in the heck did someone put dents in there like that??
Headlight bezels and grilles catch Hell on the 66's. The taping is nasty.
Used it as a wheel chock?
Looks like it.
"I'm not looking to make money on it, I'm just looking to cover my shipping costs and hassle factor of sending it".
Really $35 + $10 shipping to cover his hassle selling it. Hate to see the price when he really works hard.
Not worth the current .99 starting bid.
I've given away trim better looking than that.

You mean to paint that black ring? Not that difficult...
A straight one $100. NOS up to $400
Oh gotta miss the chrome so I see paper and taping from where I sit.
I think I have these around somewhere.

Just about time to call my insurance office. Might be wasting my breath, but gotta try to squeeze a little more out of them. Not sure if I will keep the Magnum now. Thinking it through and not sure I want to tie up $ and spend time fixing it when I won't likely get it back on the road till mid Summer. Would be a no brainer if I could get it back with clean title, but does not look like any way that will happen. Probably buy a cheap car and spend some of the money and my time on some much needed house maintenance. Have not done enough of that in recent years working on the Duster. Then several weeks of messing with the parts Duster last year... Guy at work has an 03 Neon in pretty good shape I can likely get for about a grand. He just got it to flip. Might take that off his hands.

I started reading some of the posts on the spacers/shims. I’ll definitely be reading and looking for all the info I can. Thanks for the links.
I had to shim mine. There was so much machining going on the stock pushrods weren't even close. With different pushrods I shimmed the rocker shafts up to get close to the right angles. This photo was with the pushrod checker in place.

Duster tail light bezels have similar black ring. For a real challenge, I did my wheel covers.

That's some tricky stuff. Like my bezels, they were spray painted with a stencil.
