Beautiful car!

 

[Hey-O]

That color is killer!!!!

 

[65hemi]

Went to our club’s annual all mopar Labour Day show.

 

[Dave6T4]

I didn't go anywhere today. .....or yesterday. Doesn't look like I'm going anywhere tomorrow, either.

Problems or upgrades Dave?

Well the daily driver blew its power steering hose. GTX is still down, but I’m working on it. So Lil Red gets to get daily driver duties. Coolest truck in the parking lot IMO.

Alternator through bolt sheared off in head. We tried various ways to remove it with no luck. So I decided to swap heads side for side to get a fresh bolt hole. The engine was built 08/89, so am taking this opportunity to clean things up and repaint. Mechanically everything looks fine. Surprisingly little carbon build-up on heads or pistons. Engine had thin shim head gaskets, so I am going to use Felpro .040" PermaTorque. I am going to try a different electronic distributor in it, because it feels like the timing is " floating" around when cruising with the dizzy that was in it. First time it had been apart since built almost 70,000 miles ago, so I guess it was due. Glad it was nothing serious. This happened just before Moparfest, so I rode up in my buddy's red '62 Dart Max Wedge clone. This was the farthest he had been away from home with it since he bought it last fall and it behaved itself well. I see you took some Charger pictures. After hitting the swap meet and seeing the exhibit in the arena, I was too hot and tired to get my camera out and take pictures. There were a lot of early B-bodies there that I had not seen before. It looked like a lot of Car for Sale signs on the show field, though. Thanks for asking.

That explains why I didn't remember seeing the R/T there, but then again I'm not sure I did the entire show field, just bits and pieces. I had mine down to the block, and you can do a nice job of detailing when it is that far down. There is a car show in Cayuga Thanksgiving weekend. Do you think you would be ready?

I plan on being there. Some of our WOMO gang will be going. We have been there before and enjoyed the show. We usually finish the day off by going to Dover for supper. Car show on Sunday at Yarek Dodge in Paris, but I won't be there.

Hope to see you at Ruthven then

 

[Hey-O]

Went for a cruise, to a cruise. I didn't stay, had stuff to do. I took a few pictures of a few guys I know.

This survivor was bought in California 20 years ago with build sheet and window sticker. It turns out the car was originally bought from a dealer not 12 miles from here.

This all steel 39 Plymouth is getting a hellcat put in it, soon!

44,000 original mile truck.

 

[Hey-O]

They where all over town.

 

[65hemi]

Me and some buddies went to an all makes car show today.

 

[gtx6970]

Yesterday took 2 cars to a local show about 15 minutes from the house.
Wife drove the coronet. Hard choice now that the air works .
And she brought home a top ten trophy out of about 60 plus cars.

very nice line up thanks

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

I work with an 83 year old man, today is his retirement party. 44 years with Elliot Electrical Supply. He’s a mopar guy, so I decided to stay up late, get the car running and cleaned up. The big smile on his face when I pulled up was great.

Good Job Cheap

Good Job Cheap

Thanks, that’s what these cars are suppose to be. Trophies collecting dust, or being broken in a box aren’t important. The joy you get after you bust your *** late at night on your car, and seeing the joy on someone else’s face is worth way more. I feel sorry for anyone that’s never experienced that joy. These cars are suppose to be more than numbers, more then just some metal, more then economic trading cards.

 

[Hey-O]

Cheap, I like your style and attitude!!! I see nothing but good in your future. By the way, I like that over the hood shot you posted. I love hoods!! Ulli
