I've gotten around the picture cleanup by pointing the IMG SRC (html code) to the pictures on my website. Take a peek at my Dark Horse project to see it in action:
I'll have to try that. But let my just say It's nice to know I'm not Alone in being crazy.
I love seeing all the Mopars that get saved!
Quarters are on! For good!
I know its just the next small step, but it feels like a major mile stone. The quarter panels are on! Both sides are fully welded and installed. Over all I would say they are a very nice piece. GoodMark did good. Even if they are made in Taiwan. Definitely need to bolt every thing up and match all the body lines before welding. You could be in a world of hurt if you mounted it off just a little bit! I checked and adjusted several times before finally welding them in.
I bought a hole punch from Harbor Freight to make the holes for plug welding it works pretty good. Much better then drilling all those holes. The result is a very nice weld that looks like a spot weld. good for in the door jam and such.
I had been waiting for a valance and trunk lid. It took two tries for UPS to get me a undamaged valance.
The trunk lid finally showed up Friday afternoon, made my day! The funny thing was the driver for the freight company is watching me check for damage and asked what it was. I gave the obvious answer a trunk lid! He's rolls his eyes and says yeah but what for? A 70 'Cuda. His eyes start scanning the shop. Long story short.
It turns out he has a 71 'Cuda. Not just any Cuda but a Black on Black car that according to him stared in Phantasm! That would be a cool piece of Mopar Lore. Now if your like most people I've told this too your going What? If your smiling then you know it's required Mopar Viewing.
If you go rent it just be warned I didn't say it was a "GOOD" movie just a good Mopar flick!
