Great looking car I wish I could buy it but I have to finish my car first.

Gary,

 :wow: - looks great!  Good luck with the sale and good luck with your "home" project.  I know how it can be with credit cards - I try to hold use to emergencies or for convenience, but we've had ours get our of control before as well.  And with the advent of credit/debit cards linked to your checking account, it really becomes emergency funding only.  Good luck with that - I'm sure you'll keep us apprised of your progress. 

Thanks also for the inspirational post on my restoration thread - comments like those (and others) go a long way towards keeping me going.  :cheers:

It looks great Gary.  It would be tough to buy one and build it for what you will sell this one for.   :2thumbs:

The RR is looking VERY GOOD! Good luck with the sales of everything. I agree, the person that invented those CC's needs to be strung up. I was lucky of sorts. I watched my parents get into that CC mess and it really hurt them. That may be why we just have one. We use it only for travel and keep it payed off.

Okay - SNAFU #38 BY the time I bled the brakes, it was too late for the Cowtown Mopar Club Show  :stomp:  :stomp:

Never made it there ,but took it tonight to the Christian Clasic Cruisers monthly show/cruise in.  Had a lot of people interested (?) in the car so we'll see.  Still need a few things like the woodgrain replaced on the console top plate, t-handle needs replacing, and the dagum brakes are still not 100% right.  I think I either have a defective Master Cylinder or the Proportioning valve is bad.  Also, running a little rough so I' vegot to check the spark plus wires - may have a bad one of those too.  I actually had one guy that took my number ask why I was asking such a low price and what was wrong with it because it looked too good for that little money...I put an asking price of $13.5K on it - I am shorting myself?  Also, I have to get the flapper for the air grabber because it just bounces around at low speeds.

Here's a few pics of it after I did a little bit of cleaning on it again
