this is so awesome ....now I am glad I voted 5 stars on this thread.

The pics of going through a back road with a mopar are priceless.

I didn't actually think you would ever get to this point but I am sure glad you did.

Rock on man.

You are actually making early A's look cool, I am starting to like the look of the dash. I never paid attention to anything before 68 before but this is getting cool.

this thread proves to the" un believers" that driving a slant A body can put a BIG grin on a face!!!!

I enjoy working on them, seeing my effort make it better, a sense of accomplishment, .... BUT driving it down the road is what really makes me happy!!! and no it does not necessarily have to have a big honking V8 in it !! so many people are missing out on this!!!!!??

do the dash lights actually work ....most of my cars never had working dash lights when I got them and even now I cant get one of the bulbs working on my 68 dart dash.

That is amazing if you find any mopar that has working dash lights .....I mean like they all work.
 
Nope not a one work lol Not even my aftermarket ones lol This is the 1st mopar ive had they didnt work but hell it could be just a fuse . I aint looked lol
 
I have a couple of blinkers cheap seens it my favorite car 64-66 .the rest of the world is starting to understand Y
 
Nice work (& credit,to those who helped you...) ,enjoy it..... Just driving a '60's ride on a budget,is a bigger understanding, than the yuppie BMW people understand...

yes, older ones are sometimes a bargain, BUT after ya get them home and take off the wrapper,.... sometimes out of date???? ha

I like the thread where the guy on here, said," BMW drivers just don't get the same grin on their face WE do!!" I totally agree!

now if that cuda could get some 14 in rims and taller tires it will look the part! really gives them a different stance. maybe later.
 
Dude it dose have 14s on it lol well took her outta town today she done really well for her 1st time on the high way .

The moment I saw this car I knew it had lots of hope. Glad you got it going. That slanty is perfect for you. Maybe you can keep it under 110.

Get her fixed and back on the road soon...
 
Glad you made it to your dads without completely running out of gas. When I was trying to empty the tank in my Duster to put a new sending unit in it, I ran out of gas along side the road, and had to call my kids to bring out the jerry can so I could make it back home! My wife wasn't impressed! LOL

lmao I ran out in the last 50 feet or so lol I had a good enough head of steam to make it up and in the drive way lol . She was still running just would choke out and die lol . Hell it may not even be outta gas carb could have went the rest of the way out lol . But no big deal ether way . if its the carb it just sits alittle longer
