When will you be starting the super coupe project in earnest?     :clapping:   We need to create a Young Guns Mopar Fan club    :clapping:

Red, We are changing the oil and tuning it up this weekend. And tearing of the water pump. We have to get my brother's 79 Duster up there. We are using it for a donor car.( gas tank, leaf springs, etc. ) So a little bit at a time. I'm just thrilled it started. It is a project but one very close to our hearts. It was Chad's dream to restore the Coupe one day. So I guess it's up to us to try to make his dream come true in Shelby's eyes.

We got the Super Coupe tuned up this weekend. Got the oil changed , again. The new water pump is on. it was looking good til I backed up and the brakes went to the floor.  :smilielol: Oh well, just wheel cylinders after more then 6 years, no big deal.

I hope this wasn't a case of "operator error". Did you put your foot down on the proper pedal?  :poopoke:   :smilielol:

That only happens if you're in front of a Dunking Donut's and want to make them a new Drive Thru window!  :roflsmiley:

Well, Mike . I don't know there are only 2 pedals. Maybe a blonde moment. Or maybe I caught my high heel. What am I thinking , that would be you. :stirpot: :smilielol: :smilielol:

so what's the word on the supercoupe?  did you guys get anything done recently?  it's been a while since anyone posted in this thread, so i'm a bit curious.  i guess you could say i kinda like cars you dont see every day. 
One step at a time...

Well, we put a new battery in the Super Coupe. Big Don had Shelby out in the motorcycle track behind his house , kicking up dirt. It was so great to see this car up and running. I was standing in the driveway and heard Shelby scream. I think she broke Don's eardrum. :smilielol: I thought he just scared her sliding into a corner. But she said it was a mouse jumping up and down on the floor. :roflsmiley: So I had to go get some mouse poison and moth balls.
