I guess I will collecting Pennies for a long time.

Where I live a house with a 3 bedroom, 2 bay garage and a decent back yard will run you anywhere  from $800,000 to 1.5 million dollars.  ::)

:bigmoney: Ugh! You could move here to IL, buy the same kind of house, and then buy about 10 or so sweet Mopars. I wouldn't even consider IL to have lower cost housing.

Working on two for myself right now.
First is not a e body but I like it a lot. A 1971 Satellite Sebring Plus
383hp Four speed with AC. Inviolet purple with white interior and canopy top.
Second is the 71 Challenger convertible. 340 auto.
They should keep me out of trouble for a while.

Since I posted about a brake swap on the Facebook page, I now have to make a wheel change to the convertible.
As of now looks like I am pulling my Spyder mags out of storage.
New tires of course.

I really like your over-spray pattern.  Looks like factory, but still super clean.  Kinda the middle ground between a fast factory paint job and a fully painted underside.  You are making me want to give that a try next time.   :thinking:  Really dig it.   :twothumbsup:

I am looking for my final Challenger. In the mean time I got this twin turbo Stealth going so I can flip it and I am going to start on a 29 Roadster Pickup. I've held onto one of everything (as far as parts go) for a 70 Challenger so hopefully I can get close to buying a good 70 R/T project for what I can get for the Stealth. This is the first time in 44 years I haven't had a Mopar muscle car in hand and it's a weird feeling, the bank account keeps growing though which it doesn't do when you have a project on the go.

If I could run my hands and eyes over it and if it wasn't FC7 that's what I'm looking for alright. After blocking this for what seemed 100 times I just don't want another purple car. Man is that colour hard to lay down right (of course that was in the "Centari days").

Funny how Purple is a love or hate color.  I know how you feel.  Each time I paint a color I think I never want to see that color again.  Then I forget how much work it was to get right and sign back up to do it again.   :Thud:

Well, to be honest I got burned out on building vehicles and tried something different....Since I live on the susquehanna river I decided to build an airboat...When I say "build and airboat" I mean breaking out the welders and just doing it....I painted a cool theme on the boat I don't think I'll be confused with somebody else on the water.. :D....I'm just about done...I'll be docked right in my back yard every summer...It's relaxing to get off work and head out on the water to do some fishing in the evening...

More sheet metal needed than I hoped...
Anyone have a trunk trough for a 67, 68, 69 Barracuda Fastback?
Going to have to make new... estimate is 156 hours for all the sheet metal and body work. Estimate is 2 pages. I looked at it yesterday and too a few pictures.
Bringing a truck load of new AMD sheet metal today.

RF Passenger floor has been replaced, both pillars on top of the rear wheel houses, both door posts need repair, windshield opening, Cowl, trunk floor, trunk extensions, full quarters, the floor in front of the trunk floor next to where the fuel filler tube goes, door corners, trunk lid lip, rear valance, pass outer rocker...
No turning back.
Sub frame connectors are in, rear torque boxes are in. Going to have new US Car Tool full radiator support.

A little bummed at the amount of swiss cheese found but not a total surprise. The car had been sitting outside forever in Vancouver and Portland...
Not going to get too hung up, just keep plugging away, no pun intended...
