Thanks fellas. the engines back together. And as expected, it needs rebuilt. It is the dirtiest engine i have ever seen. It still runs well but...
Thanks. I wasn’t aware Kanter had kits! I enjoy it. It’s very different than the later 60-70s stuff I have.
Update. Lots of tinkering some driving. now theres a little oil in the coolant and the radiator is pressurizing. On the upside, I wanted...
Inspiration. Thanks.
They become interesting and eventually cool when the “cool” cars are unavailable. Then, much as the early hot rodders we’re building jalopys,...
Another thought, if you know where there are any junk 40 dodge fenders, but a section and tweak it to fit. At least it would be similar metal and...

Thanks guys. The sticker and Air Force decals stay. Both are vintage eBay pieces. I am traveling on a pretty busy work schedule for the rest of...
Awesome. Better WY than UT!
Love that (New Yorker?) rear window.
You’re right. It doesn’t need much. The interior needs seat skins as the springs come through on the drivers side. Fairly easy to lower for a...
Somewhat new guy here. I’m a mopar guy. 70 Cuda and a 60 Chrysler are the current cars. This is the only ForwardLook era car I have worked...
