1935 Dodge. I first found this car 39 years ago, and it’s still there. Very rough - parking outside is hard on a car! [IMG] Sent from my...
I agree! I have to wear cheater glasses inside of my hood that has magnifiers in it as well, and had to construct a rest for my left hand because...
Every bit as enthusiastic as I ever have been, possibly more so now that I can see the end of my life approaching and still have so many things I...

Nope - sorry, sure don’t. They are a relatively common car though, should be able to round one up somewhere. There are a lot of similar cars...
Just a youngster, born in ‘66 - but my first car was a ‘27 DB 3-window coupe I built myself. 6” chop, 455 Buick, etc. Definitely cut my teeth...

Wiser words have never been spoken. Personal experience - get your glass cut FIRST! I could share horror stories, but just drag up old memories...
Welcome James! Good looking truck - I love those ‘64-‘66 F100’s. My current project is a ‘64 as well. Love the turquoise colored ones too!...

The very wet side of the PNW, where everything rots, rusts, molds, mildews, corrodes, and otherwise dissolves right before your very eyes... I...

Following along - sweet build! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This guy is probably one of the leading Mopar guys in the US, if not the world - and he's just a few miles from you. Welby's Car Care Mark...
Thanks! Running a pretty healthy 429, so power isn't really an issue, but traction can be. The front is a '03 Crown Victoria and the rear is '98...
