Thanks for the comments Steven, it was a solid car and mostly all there so I didn,t have to try and find all the parts that are almost non existant. I live just south of Cambridge ON. which is more of reference point.Nice bull by the way, I did get mine as well this year and working at the deer right now-- off to a slow start let a few spikeys walk by no big horns yet-- waiting for the gunners to be done this week so I can get back into the woods for the long bow season. Cheers

Hopefully I'll see it around next summer. Do you go to the weekly cruise nights in Cambridge?

 

[skips dart]

I will be doing the Cambridge and area cruize scene next year with the Bee, Im sure we will get to have a chat about our mopars.
Thanks

Sounds Good I'll watch for your car. I make it to the A&W Tues in Guelph every week provided I'm in town and sometimes the Wed here too (at CT) but it's not as good. I'm hoping next year to get out to the rest of the tri cities though to meet some new faces and see some awesome cars. Would love to see you out here in Guelph too as there can always be a stronger Mopar representation and that car would surely win the "MOPAR NIGHT"

Got a little more done in the past week--have to cut me some slack on the fan clutch-- have to do till I can find a stock replacement?

 

[A12 _ SuPeR_BEE]

Looks good! ...(your front sway bar should be black)

 

[skips dart]

Pretty sure the sway bars originally were in as is metal finish as I have seen on some survivor cars and nats winning A12s, maybe some one else will chime in on that as there will be other opinions but thanks for looking.
I know my backing plates and rear springs should not be black but---.
Got some more done this weekend between hunting outings---Motor is back in place wooo whooo!
Can anybody on this site tell me where I can source a repro electronic yellow print 159 voltage regulator or maybe just a cover that could be retrofitted to an aftermarket regulator which I have a few of.

 

[snakeyes]

wow looking real good cars coming I see will be waiting for some more updates and when`s dinner :grin:

 

[CHARGERSTEVEN]

You are progressing at a fast pace n it looks great some nice racks on the wall . Keep up the excellent work n great detail.

From the north

I think the strap that you used between the casters should be black.
Looks real nice Gary.

Talk to you soon: Dave

 

[A12 _ SuPeR_BEE]

Sway Bar, links, rear springs, backing plates are all Zinc Phosphate coated...which is a dull looking flat black. Sway bar brackets are painted black.

 

[skips dart]

Thanks for that London A12.

 

[skips dart]

A bit more progress over the last few weeks, its sitting back on 4 wheels while I do the rest of the assy work. Hope it comes down a bit in the rear once all the parts are back on, sitting a little high right now.
I rebuilt the original springs and actually re arced some of the lazy looking leafs with a home made die and hyd arbour press hope I didn,t over do it

 

[A12 _ SuPeR_BEE]

Looks great! ....back should come down once you get the bumper etc back on ...and spare in it ....and they always settle a bit after driving about 100 miles - I know mine did.

 

[mrkinger]

Wow looks great

 

[skips dart]

Thanks, I think it is starting to settle a little as the parts are going on--I stood in the trunk and got some motion going up & down don,t think it did anything lol-- rather be a little on the plus side than the minus to begin with--pretty much got the back end done , gotta love the look of a 69 coronet from the back!!!

 

[HYRDGOON]

Looks amazing! Awesome work!

 

[muskoka dart]

Looking good Gary:
May need some snow tires for the test run.
