Somehow, I think the whitewalls look good on this particular car :2thumbs: .  Don't ask me why, because I can't explain it.  I would've never thought skinny whites would look good on a 'Cuda before - until now. I have skinny whites on my '67 Coronet, only because redlines were never offered on a '67 Coronet 440 model - - and heck, Magnum 500's weren't offered either ....but the '67 hubcaps sucked.

I love it. They all can't have BFG's and Cragars on them.. I love the factory look.

All that bashing over ----------->  there is the reason I stay over here....   :cheers:

 ;) - - for the guys who like white stripe tires??   :icon_smile_big: :icon_smile_big: :icon_smile_big:  hee hee

It seems strange to remember that at one time, the white stripe was the in/cool look.  I don't know about the rebody thing or the cost of the resto, all I can judge it on is what I know and what I know is that the car in that pic looks fantastic to me.

mikesbbody

it just goes to show they dont all rust away into the ground. Alan knows what he's doing its gonna be awesome  :2thumbs: happy ending!

Wow, that is absolutely gorgeous. Six-Pack shaker sublime, and the white interior is a nice contrast. Not sure what to think of the tires/wheels now that you guys mention it, but that's an easy 20 lugnut fix. Rallye wheels with the old Polyglas GT tires would probably look better.

Check out this pic, looks like half of the car was replaced? Or maybe just removed and restored and put back in??

I think it's great. He's moving back to the DARE TO BE FACTORY car... We need more of these... Mopar put out some awesome and outrageous cars back in the day...  Not like the cookie cutter bodies you see everywhere these days..

Alan's taken a lot of crap from those who have anointed themselves Lords of the Hobby for what they are essentially calling a rebody. I say hats off to someone who showed so much determination and effort to bring a car back from the dead. Sure he plans on selling it - but like a 1:1 scale model wasn't the fun doing something that many would run, not walk away from?
He did the incredible and hats off for that.

Awaiting with bated breath your next adventure Alan.

I don't know what the cutoff point would be for a rebody.  I'm not sure I think that car qualifies as a rebody (but I do think the comment about taking half out to fix it and put it back was hilarious).  There is some point where there is more donor car than original though.  I'm just not sure if it's based on mass, total area, significance of the replaced area or just a straight percentage?  Maybe a little of all?  :shruggy:

6pkrunner

I'm sure on would get 6 different answers from 3 people as to what to call it. But for the work involved - I'd call it incredible. Leaves those who tighten bolts and call themselves restorers in the dust.
And as for he purists - once the oil is changed - she ain't original anymore. ;D

He has over 6 figures in the car? So this car is worth over a 100K? I wonder what it would be appraised at?

If he only has 3 figures in the car then I'll give him $999.  :smilielol:

I meant 6. If you don't have it I guess the 000 don't mean anything anyway :lol:
