I'm already doing that - it's just taking a LOT longer than one post to do it!   

Seriously, Al, I think we're all honored to have someone like you as part of this forum.  I know that your knowledge, generosity and humility are one of the principle reasons that I was attracted to this forum. 

Three cheers for Al!

Hip, hip HOORAY!!

That is a lot of progress Al. Great car and a great guy! Enjoy all the pleasure that car will give you, you deserve it

Nice work Al, gotta love a Plum Crazy 70 Cuda and after doing my 74 I really appreciate the fact that you only have 25K into it.  I'm way over that and mine will never be worth what a 70 is.  To me that tells me you can do all the work yourself, I did most all but body, paint & putting the engine together but that is the  expensive stuff!  Congrats on 5k posts, I know you have helped alot of us here.

Did I read that correct, you only have $25K into your project? That's amazing, the car looks amazing as well

[DAYLEY/CHALLENGER]

Al....From another Al (my middle name), you have done an outstanding job and a well deserved COTM award.  And from what I read here, you are a great guy as well.

Keep on

Hemiken, I got some interior pictures for you today at the car show.  My car is just a driver, so dont pick on me

Hi Alan,

Thanks heaps for sharing these old mate.  I like your M46 with that dusty air cleaner you should of had a sign on it saying barn fresh, found right here in Alabama......... would of been fuuny seeing the guys scramble around to see who owned and see if he was selling would of been funny.   Thanks again Alan.

Hey Alan, I think a Rim Blow wheel would look real great in that M46.......... You should look into getting one, oops too late.

Hey Al,

That looks awesome man. Hey, if you ever want to, maybe sometime over the winter, I'll detail your wiper motor for you for free. It wont be replated, but mine looks pretty good with just Gold Paint and my own little recipe to duplicate the red sealer..... It sure isnt the Wiper Dude (forgot his name here) type job but it would look pretty good... 

Sincerely,

Wally

 

BTW, this picture sucks....... I hope you dont think Im picking on you  I just noticed it in the picture, and I know alot of people hate getting in all the tight spots to clean them.

Hey Wally, Chryco had came by a while back ago and soldered 2 wires that had fallen off the part you painted red. The wipers work, but I have only turned them on once. I dont want to have them stick on the metal at the bottom of the window.
It sticks up a bit.


Kenny, I gotta wash under the hood to?  I just like to drive it. There was always people all around my car there. Lots asked about the scoops and stripes. Some of the 74 cuda owners asked me why I had the chrome on the trunk

I am not comfortable leaving my car alone at a show. I had noticed that my doors had been opened. I had left my keys in the ignition to.  Im more of a drive around type of guy then sit and gauk. But I met some new faces and exchanged a few stories.

[hemiken]

It would have been good to see the 72 to 74 guys scratching there heads on the trunk trim

[wally426ci]

Al,

you can mix Red Liquid Electrical Tape with Black from Home Depot and it matches perfectly!! 

[Moparal]

Thanks Wally

Kenny, I dont think you noticed, but I haven't finished my door jams in organosol yet.

[hemiken]

Hi Alan i did not notice that........ let me know if you need any more pictures of the areas in question buddy
