I can’t tell you how much it means! Thank you!

I agree 100%!!!

Thanks SO much!! My wife says it’s a disease and I agree! Thankfully she’s good with old Mopar projects! I can’t help myself and if there weren’t so many great ones out there waiting to get back on the road I’d keep each one! They always get under my skin, each has a personality and I...

I’m tackling the headliner and hoping to get the interior trim panels cleaned up and painted next.

So she let me down and I had to have it towed home yesterday from work. It was acting like it was just starving for fuel… And it was! I used a new but probably very old fuel filter I had sitting around for 10+ years that was original and correct for the car, bad mistake. New fuel filter and...

It wasn’t so much a Mod as it was a Gutting of the factory radio and utilizing the volume and tuner knobs as volume and sub level controls. It worked but I wanted actual CarPlay so I ditched it and just went with a cheap aftermarket single din “tablet style” unit instead. It’s a Boss and like...

Unreal! There are a bunch of lights on that circuit! I just got the title and plates figured out at the DMV so I’ll dive into this full force this weekend! The chevy guy I work for (Ha! Ha!) is an arrogant ass and keeps telling me l that it’s the door switches and of course I’ll be checking...

It worked! I finally have the car registered in my name and got plates! What a mess though! It’s no wonder the 3rd party places want $350-$500 to get the bonded title. Doing it myself took a while and multiple trips wasting time at the DMV but in the nd the bond was $100 and the title and...

When I get to the headliner I’m definitely sound deadening and insulating the roof!!! Excellent tips, thanks to all!!!

DMV, Title/Plates, Brake lights, dome light, First and Foremost so I can drive it! I just sold my daily so it’s time to daily Pinky until I get it figured out! Then onto trunk release, tucking rear bumper, paint correction, (sand/buff/polish) finish stereo, interior and finally tint the...

Im also doing the same thing on a 71 Charger Super Bee (client car) and a 1967 GTO (Neighbors car) plus rebuilding the drivetrain and suspension plus painting the engine compartment of my 1971 Plymouth GTX 4 speed car. Oh yeah, and working a 50 hour weeks at a Hot Rod shop… I’m a glutton for...

Interior mostly back in, I found an 87 white with grey leather interior 5th and bought about everything he had including a decent steering wheel on a really nice cruise control column! The multifunction switch on this car was broken and the steering wheel was very split from the sun. Door...

I decided I wanted to put an actual stereo system in this car since I haven’t had a real system in a car for many years but had all of my old components from my last one. I’m trying to put as little into the car as possible and had an idea to use my phone as a head unit in the car and keep...

I never saw this in any of the cars from the Midwest, not this bad anyway and this is at least the 6th or 7th car from the desert that have bad corrosion. two of the other LA engines and one 1996 360 Magnum engine wer so bad I had to replace the front timing covers. But unlike back east the...

Now that it was running well it was test drive time! My 6 year old and I took Whitey around a few blocks with ease, I knew I could move onto some cosmetic items with confidence. The bumper filler was bent and pushed out on the passenger side front corner so I decided to collapse the front...

Of course the AZ heat and coolant and oil sitting for years causes corrosion and oil to solidify selling the engine, got a fill up and flush with transmission fluid and diesel fuel until the current case remain clean and the valve looked like you knew once again then a fresh oil change The water...

I made quick time tearing the car down to clean and repair what I could in preparation for this FiFth Ave to replace LeBron as my daily driver. A Steam cleaning underneath, door, jams under hood and inside the trunk showed one of the cleanest vehicles I’ve ever worked on, there’s not any rust...

a lot went into the car while waiting for the paperwork from Travelers - I replaced all of the maintenance parts, belts, hoses, fuel system, brakes. Bearings, fluids etc. I also pulled the full interior out including the steering column (possible cause dome light/brake light issue) and all...

I decided to try out a bonded title, I’ve always steered clear of these but I had some people tell me it’s a cheap and fairly quick process. Well, it’s fairly cheap… I went through my collector car insurance (Hagerty) for the bond (which was through Travelers) and then got the car a level 1...

I’m sure this was the old man’s pride and joy, odometer shows only 38,098 miles and I’m fairly certain it is original miles and has not flipped. I found DMV SMOG test paperwork for 2004 (he passed in 2005) with some interesting notes showing the mileage at 37k.

the spot it sat dormant sonce 2004 when the owner passed away

Hey all! I have a few question threads going about my FiFth and asked if I had a build thread so I thought I’d start one! I found this on Offer Up in Phoenix, abandoned on a property that was purchased to flip. Listed as an “Old Chrysler 300” and “make an offer, don’t know what they are...

Hey!!!! I can’t believe I missed this post!!! Thanks SO MUCH!!!

So I am finally getting ready to drive the FiFth and just realized along with the interior lights not working my wife told me the brake lights are not working either… Are they related?? I’m pulling the steering column back out to check wiring… Better than being upside down. I just today sold...
