Hi all. I just joined a couple weeks ago. I've had a few mopars over the years but this is my first e-body. It is a lot rougher than I thought it was when I bought it.Of course 10 years under a plastic tarp in S.E. Tx. didn't help it any. I got it in a deal with a 340 engine for my swinger. Paid $1000 for them both so I think I can put a few bucks in it now. Currently have all the floors and wheel wells out getting ready to weld the new metal in. I just bought a 440 six pack motor for it.Lots of plans and limited time to work on it so it'll be a few yrs till I get it done. Hoping to get lots of info from y'all.Thanks,Ron

Should I keep it black? Was thinking plum crazy. :thinking: :thinking:
Do you think it was an original TX9 black car? If you're not sure, paint it anything you want.... Plum crazy is a great color!
If I'm reading the fender tag right,it is all original color and trim Originally a 318 car
Oh! Black is a pretty rare and highly desirable color! :alan2cents: But it's your car, so make it any color you like. And enjoy it! :burnout:
:welcome: Black is beautiful! but hard to keep up with. the body work HAS to be perfect and is not forgiving in any meaning of term. :alan2cents:

Black looks beautiful and intimidating and just plan bada$$, especially on Mopars. I loved my '71 and it was a great driver but showed every little ding and imperfection like a magnifying glass. In addition, after a lot of time and effort cleaning and waxing it up one little wisp of wind and dust was all over it and very visible. It drove me crazy.
