Beautiful car. I like that your display LACKED the commonly seen "crying baby" stuffed doll leaning on the car. I have no idea why anyone thinks this helps the appearance of their car.
I see that you skipped the blackout paint on the core support. I did too. I liked the look of my aluminum radiator through the grille, but sometimes I think I should go back and black it all out.
The level of detail in your car is impressive. The car looks great and it presents well.

Definatly a high quality restoration. I'd be a very happy guy if I would have my car finished at that high level.

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...

I didn't skip it, my body shop and I didn't know it was supposed to be done while he was doing her.  I found out after I picked her up, so I just have to get around to doing it.  I hope to have it done before Carlisle.

Although I would have deducted points because your steering wheel wasn't straight.....

:nana:

;)

This is funny but you know you're gonna straighten that wheel in the next show..and....
now that I have obnoxiously reposted this you're really gonna think about it.  :icon_smile_big:

You're playing with my neurotic tendencies guys...  :coocoo:

Of course, it's worth noting that they did the judging at the registration area on your way into the show. This picture was taken after I had her setup and parked.  But you're right, my OCD will now ensure the wheel is straight from now on.

Dan, when you get to the show and start getting all the tire stems to align and be in the same clocked position, then i'd start to worry.  For strict shows, I even go as far as removing small stones from in between the tire treads. :pity:

 :yesnod:

Ok, ok, yes, I am about as neurotic as Chris and Bill.  I just have a longer to-do list at this point.  Bill should know considering the 75 or so times I call him before I do anything to my car that I'm mildly unsure about.   :shruggy:  And I am aware of the license plates, they're just a bit down on my list of things to do but I'll get there.  They didn't seem to matter though when I kept those Chevelles out of first place yesterday!  :boogie:

And she's being driven to Carlisle, burning gas like nobody's business with Bill's trailer in the rear view mirror.  :drive:

:2thumbs: Atta Boy. And if you roll with Chris (SI), you will leave Bill and his "trailer entourage" in the dust.  :nana:

ps- I have a front plate for you when you get here. I would send it, but I'm lazy.  ;)

Don't worry, they all have flaws themselves. I will point them out if need be.  ;)

I am the only perfect one of the bunch...and I'm not talking about cars.  :P  :cheers:
