Haaaaaaaaaa, that's a good visual for sure!!!!!!

[cliffhanger]

got some miles on my (fresh) engine, took her for a spin to the beach and shot some pics..
yeah she's got some work in progress, but she drives, and to me, that's all that really matters....








next update will be when the new carpet and headliner are in and seats are done....
(oh and i've got all the parts missing, the louvers will be put in when it's got a fresh coat of paint)

I hope this works, never down loaded pics before. There are supposed to be two pics of my 71 T/A. Lucy blue, bright blue int, 4 speed, ac,8-track/console. It is in storage for now. Has a wc engine in it, not numbers matching, correct carb, supposed to have original trans and rear in it. I haven't checked the numbers. Bought in '89 for 800.00. Had a worn out 400 in it. Bought the wc a couple years later for 1600.00. Had correct exhaust manifolds on it. Different intake. Bought a corrrect carb a couple of years ago for 1800.00. I have alot of the parts to finish it. It will have to wait until we move back to finish it.

Cool - That's a great car.

Had to chuckle at the fact that you paid $800 for the car, and more than double that just for the carb. What's wrong with this picture....

Here is the '71 with the recently installed front clip. Hoping to have it on the road this summer. Just need to do some refinishing under the back half of the car and get the carb, radiator,etc on.

Nice! I admire anyone that does a 74 and gets it all to fit, especially bumper / valance. I did a 74 couple of years ago, repro valance, it SUCKED. I also found out 74 front bumpers in decent shape are unobtainium.

This will make you throw up a little in the back or your mouth. It's from my MoPar forum, said to be taken back when these were worth more for the scrap.

that looks like a pic from that georgia f-body "yard" said to be across from an airport?

[GETRIDAONE]

That sure looks like the place. My car came from there ! It was a sad site but I did rescue a 70 Ram Air III Formula. Amazing how a car can change with a little time and effort.

Nice rescue! Is it all #s matching? 4spd or auto?

[GETRIDAONE]

http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...3&postcount=11 Numbers matching block and original heads. M-20 was gone but replaced with correct case-tail numbers etc. 7040273 carb is dated early for car. I am still finishing up small stuff.

Yes - nice rescue indeed! Well done.

Was that the Ed Waller fleet, or a different one?

[GETRIDAONE]

Yes that would be the infamous Ed Waller.

I'm glad some of you guys liked the pic. I've been a lurker here for many years, always hesitant to post on this board because my car is so far from stock. Here's a pic of the front and a quick video clip from Road Atlanta so you can hear the sidepipes. Crank up the volume! Also here's a link to the current safety upgrades I'm doing to it. Cage, fire systems, Kirkey seats, etc. http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48151
