Because Mopars are like women.  Sometimes, they can be tempermental, but when you get yourself a good one, there is nothing better, and nothing can replace her.

Thanks, but I got enough to handle with my real life wife!

NZ, Lucy looks FANTASTIC :droolingbounce: Glad to see you are getting to enjoy her now :cheers:

BTW, what size tires and wheels did you use, I really like the way the rear is filled up :ylsuper:

NZ, again, your car is simply outstanding.  :biggrin:

I wanted to mention that, at this time while your paint is in PERFECT condition, you should look into clear bra material for the vulnerable areas of the car. By vulnerable, I mean areas that can easily get scratched or chipped by rocks, such as the front valence plus lenses, the side rocker panels, the rear quarters behind the wheels, the rear view mirrors, etc. I'm not sure if this technology has been discussed on this forum before, but it is a great investment to keep paint looking flawless.

Here is the website: http://www.clearbra.net/. Unfortunately, I don't see a dealer "down under." Maybe this could be a small business opportunity for you?   :thinkerg:

Thanks mate, it was discussed quite a bit towards the end. Clear seal and what-not.
I decided not to for a couple of reasons. 1, it changes the color of the effected area, in my case it will make the section appear to be more cream in color. Secondly, the only area that would get effected the most would be the front valance and that's good because it is also easy to remove and repair.

We decided not to because of color change and also after 2 or so years of driving the stone chips won't be too bad, if so take it off for a week and fix it rather than drive around all the time with something that can spoil the car.

Besides Lucy is tough.  :lol2:


JS27 - One word my friend, Rapids.  :thumbsup: But yes, down stream was what I meant.


Thanks everyone else for your comments.

Thanks Rev, yesterday afternoon.  :bananasmi :naughty:
Got it for $7,000 which is a great buy. kms on it are OK, 114,000km's (70,000 miles).
Always serviced and in black which is hard to find especially down here. Heaps of green and blue, heaps!

Needs a few things:

 - 35% tints all round.
 - New pioneer head-unit which I have ordered.
 - New tyres (tires) lol getting them tomorrow.
 - Few interior items checked.

That's about it, great daily driver and I have always loved these shapes...has an oldschool look & feel to it.
My restoration team will have it next week for a couple of days to give it a once over and completely check everything and repair if needs be so she'll be fresh and ready to go mid next week!!


The black looks good next to Lucy.  :grinyes: :biggrin:



Cheers,
Carl
