In Ohio's rust belt they simply rusted all over...every nut and bolt frozen...you knew they were going to break off as soon as you put the ratchet to em...many times it was just easier and faster to keep tightening till it snapped. Numbers match 383 is still setting in engine bay sideways with...

Yes sir as soon as I can get to it I will take more pictures..its in another building.

I dunno know about your area but around here the rear bumpers on the Fords and Chevys simply fell off LOL we used to joke that when they sold em new that there was a pair of bungy cords in the trunk for later down the road you used them to hold up one side or the other of the bumper...True story...

Russ that is not my car it is one of the pic's off the net...it would be a great canidate for an adam 12 or Land of the Giants Police car though! :)

I was digging around thru some of my old stuff and found the 69 GTX I built back in the day when they were first issued. Jo-Han 1/25th Scale 1969 GTX model kit. A little dusty...but has survived

I will have to check my 69RR as it is a St. Louis car as well.

I figured I would take plenty of pictures as I go along both for both my memory and for anyone else who may have questions or need a reference. The 1/4 to trunk floor extensions are perfect and still retain the two small tabs that hang down on each side(will get pictures this weekend when at the...
