Just to level set - my car retains its original transmission and rear end. Only the original engine is missing. Pretty common situation in the A12 world. There's not a lot of A12 cars out there running around with all of their original unibody intact so it's doubtful that I would sacrifice...

Hope you guys have a good one!

I'm clearly on the sheet metal side of this debate. My car came out of southwest Texas and was nearly rot-free as a result. Not a single body panel had to be replaced. I HATE rust and this for me was the Holy Grail. Opinions vary. Couple that with the fact that probably less than 10% of the...

Soon that crumpled quarter panel will be a distant memory...

Sure. :lol:

She's a beauty. Congrats!

Buddy of mine that lives in Gainesville went to both. He said that a lot of the vendors that went to Garlits stayed home this past weekend.

I usually go. Too much to do around the house/yard this weekend unfortunately... Missed Garlits last weekend too. SIGH.

Where were the two cars built? Maybe a plant to plant variation as far as the exact location of the hole goes...? I don't know, I'm just spit-balling here...

Welcome aboard. Looking forward to following your project as it progresses.

Same here. Mine is a 12" B&B style. Bought it several years ago when I was gathering parts for the eventual resto. But McLeod doesn't make the B&B style PP for MoPars anymore. Went looking for the same kind of set-up for my Duster about 5 years ago and had to settle for the diaphragm style PP.

Nice looking project.

No. Looks to me like someone tried to emulate the original vinyl look in cloth. JMHO.

Interesting car...but no mention of why he executed a color change. If it really is one of twelve, then you'd think that he would have painted it B3...JMHO.

Welcome aboard and very nice collection!

Those kind of deals are becoming non-existent these days...

It's not. Flat spot on the bottom of the housing and chunk are even more discernable in the last photo showing the differential from the front. Definitely an 8" Ford unit. Why in god's name would anyone go THAT route??? Rhetorical. Nice hatchet and splice job on the emergency brake cables...

I spy with my little eye something beginning with an 8" Phord rear end...

My stepdad. He put one on a Swinger that I bought from him years ago. V.R.D. nailed it. I've even seen pics of a Super Bird with a trailer behind it.
