Fantastic progress on that B body. Makes me miss my 64 Barracuda.

Looking mighty fine OP... What are you doing for the interior color? I think red interior would really pop against the silver.

Awesome thread! Thanks for sharing with us. The fastest car I've ever ridden in, and the fastest I've ever gone on four wheels, was in a 1967 Plymouth GTX. This was "back-in-the-day" about 1977 or 1978. Scared the shit outta me! It was awesome!

Sure it's not too late to change your mind and paint her in the original paint code? I realize it may not be exactly what you want but they always look best in their factory colors!
My RoadRunner was repainted Cardinal Red and I would love for her to be Matador Red again... |

Thanks for the thread OP. I am truly amazed by your craftsmanship. Can't wait for more posts.

Fixed her up in my garage too but it was rust free so mo panel replacements. Has a poly 318 that has been rebuilt and it is a strong runner. No problems lighting up the 8" rear tires. I could probably start a thread on that rebuild too. Attached File |

I was on the fence about using the new B5 blue color but thought the silver was the better choice. Matador red and tor red the same color? |

AZ cars I take it? I grew up in Kentucky and cars rotted away if you drove them in winter. My third car I owned (17 at the time lol) was a 1968 Charger H code 383 4bbl, 3.91 sure grip rear. Paid $1000 and it ran like a scalded dog. Originally an A4 silver car, previous owner painted it hemi orange. When it rained there was a waterfall under the dash and in the trunk. In the winter, the windshield would freeze up on the inside lmao but I was a broke ass high schooler and loved it. I did replace the floor pans and front seats (the floorpans were screwed in and caulked, so I can understand shoddy repairs because I have been there and done that.) Actually sold it for $3000 a few years later. Thanks for the pics! |

Doing some work today. Rolled the car out in the sun to see what needed putty, hosed out the garage, cleaned my equipment and have been chasing pin holes. Works best if you air the car off then wipe it down with a alcohol based grease cleaner. Went over it once with putty, sanded the areas down. Then I went over the car with 320 grit, aired it off, cleaned it and applied some more putty. Getting close!! I don't know how much more tedious sanding and putty I can take. It is damn close and remember, this is a garage build and paint so i don't expect it to be perfect.

Everything pictured is AZ except the LUV.
It was Navy surplus off of an aircraft carrier. It had 2,600 miles on it when my stepdad gave $300 for it. Oil was changed every six months and mostly stowed below deck. We added factory A/C with NOS parts and rebuilt the trans. It would chirp a tire going into 2nd. Shortly after that pic we finished the yard front and back. That little truck hauled all the gravel and sod for it. I miss that pickup. |

I wish I had the patience and skill to do better body work. It really is an art form. I've got a '70 Scout still trapped out in AZ that needs some love if you get bored. |

I didn't even know they had vehicles on carriers. I suspect most of it's miles were on the carrier but not all. The .Gov put it in service in '73 and we bought it in '96. So, a little over 1000 miles a year. That would be about sixteen trips accross the flight deck a day. Stepdad had bought quite a few, all with low milage. They all had surface rust from the salty air but weren't that bad. |

OP you have skills I admire, but have never had the talent nor the inkling to acquire/learn. I am 70 and still have a lot of fond memories concerning the muscle cares of the '60s.
I watch the big auctions on tv and when the Mopars/GM/Fords are on (especially Mopars and GTOs) nostalgia hits me like a ton of bricks. I never owned any either but greatly appreciate them nonetheless and slobber a bit when they are featured. You have skills Sir and my thanks for this thread with all of the pics of your handy work. |

OP how much time do you have into this project...you seem to be hauling ass.

The bodywork is dragging. I appreciate all the great comments. I am not a painter, nor a body man, nor a great welder. I am simply someone who could not afford a restored car or pay someone to restore it. It has been a ride and I haven't even started reassembly. The car is going to be a driver, not a full restoration. It ain't going to be perfect that's for sure and I did not want to get into a restoration that takes years and tens of thousands of dollars to complete. I want to be driving this car by middle of next year so some areas are not getting full attention. If it can be a rust free 5 footer I will be happy. |

Thanks. Let it sit for about an hour while I took a break and cleaned my spray gun. Then laid two wet coats of SPI clear. Went on pretty good but I did get some runs and sags as this stuff comes out runny. Didn't want to reduce material because it was laying so nice, guess I could have sped up a bit but that usually gets me in more trouble. It will be rock hard tomorrow and I will start cutting the finish.

Looks good! You are really making great progress and I am happy for you.
IMO, the trick as soon as it is painted is to get it driving. Once its painted and driving, the passion and interest won't really wane much. Even if it leaks, squeaks, or needs the front end rebuilt, that stuff is always a fun upcoming weekend project. Tire smoke and a V8 rumble is motivating. |

Big factor is the low humidity in AZ. There are a few spots, one on the fender and one on the top of the quarter that were pitted. They were blasted very well, sealed in epoxy so I hope it does the trick. And we don't get very much rain or inclimate weather. Started moving parts from the house to the car.

If you left the lap belt & shoulder belt clipped together you wouldn't notice that it was actually 2 belts. My '73 RR has the two piece design. The '74 does not. It is somewhat noticable because the shoulder belt doesn't retract. I didn't know if that was a RR/sportier model thing or a year split thing. I was just curious. The '74 was designed not to engage the starter unless the belt is fastened. |

if you didn't, before you fill the tank, make sure you used your old gasket and lock ring with that new sending unit.
The ones that come with them are thinner and WILL leak. |
