Glad you are saving it. That looks like midwest rust on the suspension, I hope you own an oxy acet torch lol. This link should help you with getting new metal...http://www.autometaldirect.com/body-components-c-23.html

Yeah it'll be the last thing. I'm just making a list of what I know it'll need.
Yep and yes I have a torch. You should see my other build...

Oh the things you'll find in a trunk of a car.
Got the rear tires changed out finally and managed to get the brake drums busted free. Those tires barely clear the lip inside, have about 3/8 inch clearance. Rear springs are totally shot. Only thing holding the car up really is the coil overs someone added at one point in time.
Hoping to try to crank this over this week sometime.

Yes sometimes in search of old Mopars you never know what you're going to come across.... Still wondering what this was... Any guesses?

You got to love any model of the 64. I had my first at 16 yrs old and now 40 plus years later i have my second chance to do ot right. Ever since i joined this group i have been able to get get info and boy do i thank everyone for it. Still having a hard time finding some of the trim pieces or don't have the green backs to do it. Well that's part of building a dream and when its done all o will need to to is polish it lol.

Here you are Bearman. My 64 Sedan.
I built a different hood for this year. Yeah, it's a cowl... But! It's got a Mopar stripe on it so in my mind it's ok. Mopar stripes are "straight".

You need to stop hurting me with your sweet rides. I can't wait to get to that level with mine.

that is a beautiful color on that car!

Thanks Dukeboy. I think deciding on a colour was the hardest part of the job. Then the Mrs pulled out a brass lipstick case and said “what about this colour”. Took it in and said make me this colour. The red came along afterwards.

How is the rearend set up did you move the springs ss springs what tire and wheel and offset did uou use
---
Yes, mini tubs moved up against the frame. Split mono leafs and caltracs. The rims are the 15X10 with a 3.750 backspace. Actually with the torque thrusts in 15X10, it is the only offset they offer. As you can see, there's loads of room for more backspace.
And if you can believe it, this is where my car colour came from..

That awesome to have a color that nobody e!se come up with. I really like the whole deal with the painted bumpers and the stripes really set the body color off. As for the rear set up you have done a great job. I'm hoping that mine will come out nice but we will see. Really like the dana look just makes the car look tough.
