Way cool. Like the exhaust dumps. what is your front clip?

Chassis Engineering Mustang II. Had a '78 Camaro front stub in it for years, but the track width was so wide the car never looked quite right..

Was the Chassis Engrg clip specifically for the Plymouth or did you have to figger how to patch it in and determine mounts for the core support, splash panels and fenders?

Yes, folks, both the car and I actually do exist. My wife took this picture today. We've been doing spring cleaning in the garage and now you can walk almost entirely around the car (big improvement!). One of these days, it will be chugging down the road again.

Sorry for the slow reply. I had to mate it to the stock frame. It actually wasn't too difficult.

mtpturbo..........are you from Kansas City?

Is that the car you brought to the HAMB drags two or three years

ago?

Yes, I am from the KC area and it is the same car but I have redone pretty much everything except the paint/body (that is next on the list) since it was last at the HAMB drags. Maybe I'll get a chance to bring it back down this year..

Here's a photo of my first car I recently sold:

'46 P-15 Special Deluxe four door, original Chevron Blue.

Here's the '40 Dodge when I first looked at it in Tucson AZ:

I posted this already but, figured I'd share it here too. No where near finished but, looking much better since I acquired it. She photographs well.

Everyone has such neat photos of their cars... In a variety of condition and to one's personal tastes... I am impressed to see the condition of some of them when first acquired... Lots of work and my, how no one would ever know it ever was found in less than "concourse condition"! :)

And here are a couple after some upgrades. Haven't done much cosmetically (paint) and don't have any immediate plans to. This was about 2 years into ownership and I rebuilt the motor, split exhaust, dual intake, HEI, disc brakes, T5 swap and 12v conversion...

I posted early on in this thread. Since then I have added one more to the stable but it will be a while before it sees the road. I realistically see it as a 5-7 year project. Got others I can drive so no rush on this one but it should be fun when finished. $1500.00 got it in my driveway and who knows what future expenses will be but hey, it is the "restoration journey" that counts and that is priceless in my book. I will get it in the garage before winter and start the process.

I'm glad you did not shy out - I really like the cool style of your Savoy. I agree with you no need to over spray the genuine patina. The scallops make the top of the cherry - Very stylish!

Also looks like you are having fun with the car. All the right hop up ingredients added. You may be a soul mate with our Capt.Fred of Berlin.

Last but not least: Seems that one stunning beautiful lady has lurked in you garage to catch attention on the last picture... Lucky bastard you?
