Location: Minor Hill, TN | Well Today I won't be able to go in the garage today . The '61 is getting the painted today . I know it has been a long journey on the car. There are times I got frustrated and wanted to call it quits but I hung in there instead and was patient about it . After the car is put back to gather and running again I will be going to the tint shop and getting my windows tinted . I will try to take photos later on but I do not to smell paint fumes |

Location: Minor Hill, TN | The front fenders are still in primer the hood had to be sanded back down to the metal again cancer on the hood . My dad is going to put car cancer killer on the hood to stop it . After my does what is needed on the hood and premiering it both the hood and the fenders will be painted. He also suggested I replace the battery with a new 1 he told me the 1 I have is 7 years old . it has been a long journey on this car . there were some delays because of a certain car being a royal PITA but I won't mention it . It was a mopar but it was not a forward look . |

Location: Minor Hill, TN | Front fenders are back on . The plate is back on ( 1961 TN plate) . The chrome is on the trunk at the end Its getting there alot of the hard work is starting to pay off I also plan to tint the windows on this 1 also and yes my mind is made up to do this . I tinted the windows on my last '61 and before I did this the interior got hot but when I put the tint on it made a difference it was cooler and plus this will protect the interior.

Location: Minor Hill, TN | This is what I am talking about This '61 is not mine but my parents met him when Cooker was doing their cruise in at the location in Knoxville, TN . There are times I wish they took my other '61 had both cars parked next to each other for a photo and I even told them they could take it. its the best photo I can locate. This is the brake pedal I am talking about . When you locate it will you please give me the price plus shipping and I will send it PayPal

Location: Muskego, WI | I have two of these, both of mine came out of manual brake cars (1960 Plymouths). Is this what you're after? If so, send me a PM. This is dirty, but I think it would clean up well with some Goop hand cleaner. Can't do much about the wear on the corners.

Location: California | It’s amazing how much thought went into the design if these cars. Even the brake have a modernistic design with each end rising on the top forming a “chevron” in the center. They appear to have started using that design in 1957 and kept it until 1961 at least. |

I also helped on it also. It is waiting to be started the harness that connects to the modualtor did not hook up so I had to wait for another 1 and then the car will be back on the road . It won't let me post a photo for some reason I will try again later

Location: Minor Hill, TN | The car is waiting to be started I got the harness but the wrong 1 was sent GRR. I have some electrical problems the front turning signals do not work it is blind in 1 eye( Headlight does not work) Horn does not work and the lighter does not work I do not smoke and the lighter will be used for me to plug in my cell phone charger so I can charge my phone or listen to my music on iPhone.
My dad went to a swap Meet and got 4 halogen headlights for the car fuses and a battery terminal and got an awesome deal. For some reason it is not letting post any more photos it must either be me or the site I do not know

Photos have to be less than 250 kB (1024 x 768 is a good size) *AND* they need to be .jpg photos. .jpeg files from iPhones do NOT work very well, if at all. 
Try again.

It will have more drives but only on the street the horn does not work , front turn signals and the brake lights do not work but those will be corrected . My dad will correct those problems until these are done the car does not go on the main roads . I uploaded the video on youtube and I will be sharing it here also. https://youtu.be/bMi51cKOyrU |

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I got to do Pulaski, TN Christmas parade on the 17th of December with the PACE car club and got 2nd place but the trophy belongs to every body in the club . I picked it up and waiting on if I should keep it or pass it to the president of the club I let my dad drive the car and I video recorded from my iPhone . I have uploaded some videos of test drives I am on the passenger side if the car . I took the car in for an alignment and had nitrogen put in the tires . Now the car is in hibernation until Spring then its car show and cruise in Season again .
Merry Christmas to my fellow forward look owners . |

Location: Minor Hill, TN | The hard work really paid off . It was a 5 1/2 year project I know some shows require a fire extinglisher In the future I plan to get the bumpers rechromed I hope to locate a shop close to home I live in Tennessee
. I am saving to get the windows tinted to protect the interior. There is a thing called REDIRAD-rescue your radio I am looking at ://redirad.com I want to be able to listen to the music from my iPhone through my radio My dad took some more photos of the car and it has stuffed bears in the back seat I was decorating for a Christmas parade. The car club I belong to got 2nd place so I participated with them but all of us picked up a 2nd place trophy. My dad told me he would like to see me get 1st place but it does not matter to me if I get a trophy or not I go to these shows to have a good time. To those who live in Alabama and TN or any other state the TN Valley Mopar club will have its Show June 19,2021 at the Huntsville drag way |

I have never used them but I have heard good things about their work.
I just sent out front and rear 61 ply bumpers with bumper tie to auto and truck bumper in Hayward California.
Cost to plate was about $1600 |

Location: So. Cal | You and your father have done a great job on your Fury. The fabric in the '56 Belvedere looks like it has been replaced as it isn't the original that it would have come with from the factory. |

Location: Branson, MO | It might not be fabric - it could be vinyl in which case I believe there was no pattern. |

Location: So. Cal | The vinyl was only available as an option on the convertibles, not on the coupes. A possible variance could be if the car was built for export. In that case, I'm not sure what it would have come with.

Location: Minor Hill, TN | It was a 5 1/2 year project it was a journey but there were times I wanted to throw in the towel and call it quits . I know a lot get that feeling but when I did I walked away for a while took a break and went back to it. I took it to its 1st show after the restoration my competiton was a 1956 belvedere but 1 of the forward looks came home with a 1st place trophy. The next show will be Music city Mopar this coming Saturday . I hope to see more Forward looks there, the car in the back is my 2016 Dodge Challenger

| Stephannie,
Having followed your build for the past couple of years, I can honestly say it is one of the finest I have ever seen. You have truly out-done yourself and can be very proud of your accomplishment. Best of luck with your stunningly beautiful ride! |

Location: Minor Hill, TN | There will be no photos of Music city and a video due to hard luck ( Tires on trailer went bad and they need to be replaced) and now my forward look was crying its head lights out . I said I am sorry I did not want to take any chances for you to get damaged its best to be safe than sorry so my dad and I turned around and came home but we all made it . I called the treasurer of Music city and told him what happened I will be getting my t shirt in the mail off I get a hard luck trophy and if I do not that is also ok . This is 1 example why I always take a cell phone |
