Example of a not so good deal there I think.
problem down here is that there just arent many to choose from. We've got over-priced resto's or overpriced donors. Not really any bargains like there used to be.

Thanks. I got the plates & insurance the other day and plan to drive the wheels off her till the Winter hits. Then hopefully disassemble again & get some new paint on the car.

That sounds like a plan TimS. Good luck with the car. It is a real find. Can't wait till the car I got is on the road but a long way's to go yet. Russ. :steering:

Car has a very nice 2.5" Pypes stainless exhaust system on it now but I think I'm going to swap the mufflers for some series 40 Flow Masters. These Pypes give a sound that resembles straight thru, with no mufflers, instead of that deep throaty sound.

Very Nice

Thanks. Getting ready to install my new front seat covers. I'm hoping the seat springs are good enough. That seat had been leaning against a garage wall for years and the RH side of the back and bottom of the bench isn't very good. I'll post more interior pics when I get done.

Well just found out that the springs on the RH portion of the bottom and back of the front seat are indeed bad. Collapsed, broken and rusty. Now in need of a good core.

The front seat they say is not hard to find but the back seat is the one you cant find. Try Stevens in Ala. Their are on the web. They have helped me find the brackets that hold the inner upper windshield trim on. Also the back panel door trim. Of course the old Ebay is another place. Most of what I saw where pretty raged out. Have you talked to any upholstery shops I would take to some of them and have them look to see if it can be fixed. Good luck TimS.

Yes I've bought parts from Ted Stephens in the past. Great guy to work with. If I strike out locally I will get with him. He comes to the Mopar Nats every year so maybe he can haul one up for me.
