After a quick white top paint
job on the roof, a polish, new wide white walls, some re-chroming, and stainless
polishing, the car really looked good. I have taken it to quite a few car shows, and a lot of the older folks
want to know if they can sit in it because they
had one just like it for their first car... |
| At Jaspers Thursday Nite Cruise
In, I won a trophy during their Mopar Night. |

During the 2001 Mopar
Rendezvous in Placerville Bob took this picture of me and the car. That was a fun
show. But alas, the car
needed freshening up, so after this show, the parts started coming off.
And am I getting excited about this one!!! |
| Here is the stripped down Plymouth
wearing a coat of primer at the body shop. They have started welding in new metal to
remove the cancer under the lower panels. They have also removed the glass to insure
there was no cancer under the rubber. All is looking good. March 2002 |

- October 11, 2002,
- and the car finally gets to go home.
Here in the shop after a quick
bath the car sits waiting to be rolled out for its ride home. |
| After being rolled out, the car
shines in the sun. The official color name is Bright Metallic Green (F6). You
can tell from the picture how straight the sides are. |
|
 |
The big fins sticking up, the
shine on the highlighted parts, it really is a happy day. Below, loading it onto Andy's truck for the journey
home. Look at the reflection of the other vehicles parked on the lot. |
| Now the fun begins. In the
first week I have spent more than 2 days under it cleaning, scrapping and sanding, and
more than 6 cans of paint. The engine compartment has been repainted again, and now
it's time to put in the motor. Any Volunteers? |
|
| between Oct 11, and Jan 4th all this got accomplished... |
 |
Working
evening and weekends on the car, it is beginning to take shape. I had the rubber
replaced around all the windows, and all the chrome and stainless redone. I put on
new disk brakes, put the motor and tranny in, did all the wiring and electrical, and
started putting all the exterior parts on it. I also repainted the interior trim and
got the interior put back together. All this is just about complete, and still a
month to to before the big show... |
