Looks great. What kind of paint did you use?
Dupli-color chrysler orange, rattle can........... :lol: Remember LOW BUDGET........ :lol:

The reason I asked is you'll want to be careful if you ever use any carb spray to clean off grease and grime that tend to accumulate over time. Some paints can't stand up to the spray and will come right off or at the very least discolor very badly. I found that out the hard way once... :brickwall:

Didn't do much today. Went to church and then mowed then bolted on a few pcs. I do have 1 question. If you look in the picture, in order to get the oil fill hole in the front I had to switch sides with the valve covers but my breather is now on the other side. My air grabber breather tube is on the other side. My question is did the 6-pack come out on the opposite side as the 4 barrel? I'm not sure but I'll make it work. :thumbsup:

StuRat (I like that name... :D ) is showing you the '70 set-up; completely different from the '69. The valve covers are different and so then is all the plumbing...so the answer to your question is "no, they did not". Take a look...

So what have you been doing ? frolicking around the left coast :lol:


Yep. Guilty as charged. I did get to have lunch with moparchris the other day though... :thumbsup:

Just got back back last night and now I'm turning around and heading back out there on Tuesday... :loco:

All of the travel really gets old at times...although it's better to be doing it right now while the weather is so flippin' crappy here... :cents:

:jester:
I have a question for Moparchris. Does Ray always have food or drink in hand as seen in all the pics posted on here?

Yes but I have to defend his position since he bought! Thanks Ray. Next time we'll have to get around to see some junk! :chuck:

Looking through some old stuff, just thought some of the newbies would like to see all the pics....... :thumbsup:


I think you meant to state that maybe some of the newbies would like to see you get the :acme: treatment by some of the other oldtimers... :lol:
