Finally Started! 68 R/T Resto..NOT SCARED!

[RIDELIKEHELL]

I have to say Caper that is a very awesome jester you have put forth! Thanks again but I don't think my Honda Ridgeline will pull it  It is just waiting for the speedometer to show up Monday as the dash is waiting patiently

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Speedo just arrived ...hope to have it ready to come home next week but the weather is crappy here so road tests are becoming scarce.

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Speedo is in and the gas gauge is calibrated etc so I am very happy  but there were a few issues when out for more road testing. Well the verdict was the front end was way to low and it messed with the geometry so Control Freak exchanged shocks and springs as the other shocks were at there limits. After doing that it raised the front end a good 1-1/2" so the alignment was redone along with re balancing the wheels and presto it runs like a freight train!!! Hopefully coming home this weekend

Wow, very nice!  (you aren't on the river or beside Lake Huron by any chance?)

[RIDELIKEHELL]

3 lots from the beautiful Lake Huron ..... all the perks without the taxes

[Ghoste]

It looked like maybe there wasn`t a lot of foliage behind the house so I just drew the conclusion.  Lived in the area for a short spell myself (Corunna, Mitton Village and Clearwater).

Marc,

To think your beast turned out the way it did just proves that you can save virtually any car!  Looking back at the 2007 pictures, it is just incredible. 

Great job once again!

Marc,
        As mentioned numerous times, thanks so much for all your efforts in providing this invaluable information over the past years. Your restoration thread has been an absolute inspiration for guy's like myself who own rust-bucket vehicles and contemplate whether to restore or scrape for parts.


If I may ask a question - would you happen to know the specific paint code/manufacturer of the Argent Silver paint used in your grille assembly? It appears to be a dead match.
I've got the Totally-Auto Argent Silver spray paint, but it appears to be a bit shiny (overly metallic).

Thanks again.  NICK

Your car is beautiful, the way the pictures looks, it almost appears to be a picture of a 1-24th or 1-18 scale
car. That silver is so sweet looking, great job.
