Default Ram Air Rat Muscle

I finally got the SR Ram Air III engine back in the black earliest-known Ram Air '69. It's got an XR288 Comp Cams roller cam in it. Nice chop in the idle.

Yeah I added Judge stripes. Sue me.

We aged the stripes with brake cleaner and some other stuff, a Tom Fischer recipe. Basically wanted it to look like a Judge that just got hauled out into daylight after a few decades...Pete Serio did the shifter and Randy Watson did her hood tach...thats an original Judge wing and decklid and a real Judge glovebox door...the rest of the pics are there in the photobucket

Distressed look. Perfect
Tires. Perfect
The camshaft lope. I need a cigarette!
I will PM you ybout the trunk repair. I'm going to do that to mine and curious if you have other photographs of it. I assume you spliced in some new metal on the lip?
Who could've convinced us years ago we would spend time making our cars look like they are not perfect? LOL.

Dang right it will! I was at a car show, and there was a base coat clear coat 69 Judge, and there was a lacquer Judge right beside it...the dull paint Judge had many more people around it all day.

I figure there's gotta be earlier cars out there, they just haven't popped up yet. But for now, it's the earliest

Spyderzzzzzzzz from Motor Wheel!

Vintage 15 X 8 Spyders on vintage BFG Radial T/As 'pre-metric' G60 and F60 tires. Just to add to the "pulled from storage since the 70s" vibe.

I like that 'patina' look. I was considering doing the same to my '66 when I get around to it. Just put a satin clear coat over the faded paint. That one looks great!
