Expert Posts: 2120 Location: atlanta | I'll post it here and also in the wanted section, I need a 61 Plymouth (preferably a Fury) drivers side front fender real bad, this one may be useable, but it does have some damage and rust through under the headlight bucket. If any one has one to sell, PLEASE contact me, the closer to Atlanta the better, but not a deal breaker. | ||

Expert Posts: 2120 Location: atlanta | disillusionment is starting to set in again, this car will NEVER be what I want it to be, and I honestly don't have the bucks to do it like I want, guess I'll have to bite the bullet and make it presentable, and as long as i have fun with it, that's ok too. This car reminds me of the old Robert Palmer song, simply irreistable, " She's so fine there's no telling where the money went, She's all mine there's no other way to go" I'm a freakin' Virgo, wadda ya expect, guess that's why I ended up in Electrical/electronic/phys/mech calibration in the Navy, Ya know the old Calibration sayin', Ain't no such thing as close enough, even perfect" :-) Edited by fenix 2014-11-01 1:00 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 2120 Location: atlanta | Been a while since i posted, anywho, a few pics of the snails pace progress. The motors together, intake and VC's mocked up for now, .030 over, new pistons/bearing/Cam from Camcraft, Cloyes timing chain, P600 with 94's, engine/flywheel/clutch presure plate all balanced. The dash is also done, new fuel and temp gauges, new spaeker grill, everything cleaned up, repainted the dash ( painted it three times before it was right ) and speaker grill the original color. Have new sound deadener and carpet to install this weekend or next.

Expert Posts: 2120 Location: atlanta | Yep, the parts are turning out very nice, thankfully I have worked out a deal with the powdercoaters and it's all pro-gratis!, besides, unwrapping powdercoated car parts is about as good as it gets for this old geezer anymore, now that all the rich, young, blondes have forsaken me. | ||
