Here's mine

Love the look Kowal!

Here's my newest attempt at owning a running MOPAR!

It's an original R4/R4, black vinyl topped, spring special edition. Missing the original air grabber hood and is currently a 65' 383/4spd no console instead of the 69' 383 console automatic. Need to clean/change the fuel tank and get it on the road. And yes... the birds are in the wrong place on both fenders.

The wife wanted to try her hand at racing. So we took our bone stock 383 RR to the track. Along with my 67 Belvedere.

Is that a steel six pack hood or glass?

cool my wife not interested in anything cars

How did you do?

She did real good, staged right every time. But a stock 383 sure is slower than I ever thought. Looked like a drag race in slow motion.

Is that a steel six pack hood or glass?

It's glass. From what the previous owner said, it has been blown off the car before so it is in pretty rough shape.

My wife isn't either, but out of all the cars I've had she seems to like the Roadrunner.

Just got this 69rr outta Vegas yesterday!

Has a few trim things and a few little paint scratches/chip to fix. Other than that. Good to go.

I'll put mine up as well, just for fun. No RR, but a Satellite. Original light green, with green vinyl top and green interior. Now DY2 yellow with black interior and white seats/doorpanels from a 68 Coronet 500. 413 4spd 3.55

A.k.a. Crashbox

Love those pics! two reasons 1: you put the Plymouth badge on the six pack hood! lol I did too have not seen many who have done that.

also you confirmed that the 440 sits offset form center, I can tell my air cleaner looks to the left like yours

Were did you get those decals? I like it makes it pop

Badge

I caught that also. The Plymouth badge is awesome, cool that you did it.

Thanks! I also got the original steel hood with the car and it has been sitting in the same place since I got it. I thought it was a waste to not use the badge, so last year I decided to take it off and put it onto the fiberglass hood.

I had the decals made, but I designed them myself. No photoshop or anything, just AutoCAD, a famous toy car manufacturer's logo and some good old tracing. I had planned to put the checkered stripe all the way over the front of the hood. Since the front lip of the hood is at an angle to the car centerline, I would have had to make an angle in the decal to make it look like it's going straight across the hood when it's on there. Did not want to bother with that, so when I went measuring how much length of decal I needed, I decided to have the decals start underneath the hoodpin baseplate instead.

For the hoodpins I made/bent/hammered/ground two aluminum brackets that bolt to the threaded rod of the rubber hood stoppers on the radiator support. Did not feel like drilling them out to accommodate the large pin. The threaded rod sticks out underneath the radiator support and an exhaust manifold bolt is a perfect fit on that rod. I mounted the hood pin to that aluminum bracket and also the cord for the hood pin is screwed to it.
