Stop in for a cup of coffee

We got no snow or rain after all. Swap meet looked like they got hammered. Stayed home and drilled all the holes in my flat Dart hood, cleaned the mold and moss off, rattled canned it black, set the scoops on, and put it on for a test look.

Good morning c\_/ We did go to the McCruise-in yesterday after all. Wife washed pollen collection off the car while I made a run to liquor store. I passed 2 shinned up classics on the roads and thought, "I wanna drive mine too". So, we washed the windows, vacuumed, and off we went. The place was packed! Seems everyone was itching to get them out on such a nice day/evening. Pumped 20 dollars worth of real gas at 3.19 per gal. on the way home. It's back under the shed until who knows when.
Well what the heck shot the seller in Canada a $100 less offer than he was asking and he accepted. It is the right rear interior quarter panel for a 67 convertible. A one year only piece, hard to find with out cracks. This one is solid. I'll take the one coming out and put it on the Keefver table for sale at Carlisle
Curious... I know Dart and B'cuda panels are different but what makes 67 different from 68/9? Size of ashtrays maybe? Longer elbow pads to delete those ashtrays is another of my unfinished projects.
 
I would have to go to the VA and get my hearing aid adjusted to block him out, like I did with the wife!

I learned to focus on the tv and ignore my wife when we were married... Just throw a couple of "Uh-huh" or "ok's" periodically... :rolleyes:

She would always try to talk to me during my show, instead of wait for a commercial...

Dam I forgot to go to the nationls to drop off parts, told the guy to remind me a week out. Have to meet him in town later. Actually pretty close to me!
 
Big valve J's or did you make them that way?

Those were originally 2.02 J heads... It's the 340 out of our 71 Challenger convertible...

That's the first engine that I ever built... Made a few mistakes and learned from them...

I took the heads off to have hardened seats installed... When we first built it was back in the 80's and leaded gas was still available... My head guy did a clean up port and installed hardened seats... As you can see - he gives good head.... LOL!!!


We bought the cam at a local Direct Connection shop that was around here back then... The guy gave us a pretty lumpy cam, but my brother doesn't want a cam that big, so I'm keeping the old DC grind for myself for a future build and installing a more mild cam for him... He wants something that he can cruise around town with...

Smell you all later...
