A few more inspiring pictures taken at Matheson Hammock Park. The weather is getting much better for us Floridians.

Latest upgrades over the last 2 years:
Rebuilt the six pack carbs and replaced the outboards. Running much smoother now, and about 9 mpg instead of 6! Made lots of adjustments and surprised myself, but it was a lot of work and time. I felt bad about removing the choke system, but I dont really need it here, and I kept the parts, just in case. At least the carbs look a lot cleaner now. A couple times I just sat and stared at em for a few minutes. Almost like studying my wifes face, but dont tell her.  :bigsmile:




And the handle, just looks and feels cool compared to the original plastic


And got the vintage am/fm stereo with new dash speakers for Christmas. I love the bluetooth feature to play my Cuda playlist

Some of you know about the Mopar battery mod I recently did. Posted a thread about it in electrical. Proud of that one.
If I still own er this time next year, been thinking about a legendary leather interior, and maybe an overdrive conversion. It never ends, but after that I cant imagine anything else ....yet
But two more things I forgot about from last year. Headlight relay upgrade (by Rob) was well worth it. Headlights blast now and gauges a lot more visible. Plus I went to the gas monkey rocks Motley crue show. That was an epic 2700 mile weekend roadtrip with the wife.  :burnout:

used my iphone to take the fire truck shot since it was kinda impromptu. Somehow it distorted the rear of the car to look bigger and higher than it really is. The rear wheels look bigger, but they are 17s all around (17x9.5 w/275-40 and 17x8 w/245/45).
been trying to scout a good location to take a picture with nothing but ocean behind it, but govt. is good at shutting off access to all the good old places I used to go. California is THE place for good pictures. No mountains here!
Cant remember where I found the wood pistolgrip, maybe ebay or one of the vendors on here, but theyre not hard to find. Simple to make one yourself if youre handy with wood. Just "whittle" the two pieces to the right shape and drill the holes. Done. I think the wood feels better than plastic.
Has anyone gotten the 2011 CC calendar? Is my car in there?

Bills....Gills....cheese grater Grilles....and Bone Chills   :cheers:
Do you remember the BS on those wheels, front and rear by chance please? it looks like the Dana is an E Body width as well correct
