Finally got it painted again, the first time, the parts store sold us some bad catalyst or the wrong kind or something...all i know is i had to spend about three weeks stripping gummy paint with a rag and lacquer thinner

...turned out a little better this time though!!

sucks you had to deal with a mess.......looks good now tho!

Looks real nice! Thats a shame when you have to do something over because of someone else mistake. Did they cover any cost to redo it?

I like it, sucks when some one gives you the wrong stuff though.

what is that right over the trans tunnel on the right side...some sort of a/c drain tube?

looking good, how about pics of the rest of the car?

so far as i know that is what it is....i know a lot of people scrap the a/c when they put a big block in, but when it gets to 110-113 in the summers, and its a daily driver...a/c is necessary...

ill try to get some this afternoon, the rest of the car isnt even primered yet, this is the first sort of body work that has gone on, the rest of the time ive spent underside with subframe connectors and narrowed dana 60's hammer

sent the headers [proparts semi-fenderwells] off to be Jet-Hotted today also!

the primered spot marks the worst place on the body, some one hit it, and what i thought was a good panel turned out to be an inch of bondo Frustrated

my dana 60 and relocated leaf springs, not sure if you can see it in the pic, but i added a half leaf to the springs also. notice the big drums out back also. I have a chrome differential cover, but i havent put it on...

other than the promed spot on the drivers side, the body is in immaculate shape

I didnt start with a numbers matching v8 car or anything, so i thought id make it my own, its getting a 67 dart gt dash [if for no other reason the key is in the dash instead of the coulumn and i love it] as well as the lowback bench seats instead of the huge ones that came in 72 with the moulded in headrest and stuff....

got 12.5 inch wide rear tires on dragstar lookalikes....[didnt have the dough for realones at the time] and strange S/T 35 spline axles going through a detroit locker...
