I love the South, but my hometown Memphis is plagued with certain groups of people who like to burglarize and steal for a living. :lock: We have the misfortune of seeing this behavior as a common trait in the best of our big cities. As I believe I posted a few months ago, my RR was stolen...

We'll be there. :drive:

Wish I had a few pics of my dad racing my RR at the old Shelby County raceway... Out of all the Mopars my dad ever worked on and drove, I only have a couple pics of him doing an engine change out on the '79 Dodge pickup that ended up being my high school ride. I don't have a single picture of...

Nice Super Bee man. I would love to have one of those one day. Hope you didn't think I was goin crazy on you about the wing topic. Of course you can do what you want with your RR, just like I will do what I want with mine. :thumbsup: I was just giving my thought on it as everyone always...

Hey man, you copied me! :dupe: Just kidding! Looks like you have dang near the same RR I have, B5 post car with a 383 and everything. I know like 96% of the 69's were B5 blue. :D Only difference is you got the 3spd and I have a 4spd.

Nah, I wouldn't do it. I don't mind clones like 70 Satellites over to Superbirds or 69 Chargers over to Daytonas but I don't like seeing wings put on cars that aren't going to be full conversions to one of the winged warriors. Sides.. they don't do you any good until like 130mph. Fwiw, I love...

I have been curious lately about heads for my 383. I'll reuse the 906's but I got to thinking about the hemispherical combustion chambers that made hemis famous. Forgive my ignorance if this indeed did happen, but why didn't Chrysler use this approach on the 383, 440, and other popular engines...

Don't feel bad Dobie. At least you didn't have as bad of a mess as I found when I pulled of my heads. There's been a lotta cussin and head scratching in my garage the last few months with my engine. And Memphis doesn't even really have any machine shops left that I have been able to find...

To be honest guys - and this is the opinion of a young man not yet 25 - I never have understood the practice of dumping vehicles in ditches. As redneck as my dad had our yard looking when I was growing up with tires and car parts and junk everywhere, we never let a vehicle rot. We had dozens...

Thanks for all the up talk, fellahs. It's such a weird thing to think about just how long these projects can last. As far as mechanical errors go, I can say it won't be because of rushing along, but rather because I'm no auto mechanic. :crazy: There will be many, many, test runs past the cow...

Been a very long time since mine touched asphalt. Before my restoration project started, I had only fooled with minor engine/carb work before. It's daunting how much work goes into redoing a whole vehicle. Chip and the fellahs on Overhaulin' do some interesting things from time to time but...

For about 2 grand, and a few fiberglass and edelbrock parts later, I could have a decent A-12 clone without all the massive, wild debt....

Give us just a couple months and we'll give em a few good waves of our find Southern Heat and melt those snowballs right outta their scheming yankee hands. :devil: :jester:

I'll gladly stand my by Florida counterpart and defend my beloved Southern soil to the last breath from Yankee snowballs! :jester: :jester: :jester:

Don't tempt me. My wife and I have BOTH threatened ourselves with massive debt to grab a new Hemi Challenger. First time we saw one in traffic last year, she was the first to say "wow, that's a mean lookin car." The only problem is that it takes well over 40k to walk away with a new Hemi...

Good thread question! I love seeing pics of new cars and promos from the 60s and 70s. Imagine being able to walk through a time portal to a 1969/70 Plymouth or Dodge dealership and buy up ten or twelve hemi cars of various models and options that are now highly sought after and drive em right...

I hadn't thought about the 69 1/2 registry but that is a very good way to estimate what's left. It's getting to the point now that what's in garages is all that we will have now. I remember visiting junk yards with my dad when I was a kid back in the 80s and early 90s. You could still pick...

Very good ideas, fellahs! I don't know what I would do without this board and all of the help y'all give.

There willl be beatings. :devil:

Maybe I didn't describe what I'm doing very well. I just have to get enough dash panels out of the way so I can get to the electrical stuff behind the dash and get the old wiper motor out if possible. I'm not doing an interior replacement at all with the car. I only need to get it looking...
