Went for the last ride of the year yesterday and hauled home a nice buck. Didn't hit the deer, the old Remington 760 took care of it.

I met you and your son on the showfield this weekend. I had the 71 fury III sedan in GA8. I used PPG omni single stage acrylic enamel to repaint several things on the car with good results. Here's the paint code if you decide to do the car in the original color.

I had a problem similar to this when putting 275's under the rear of mine. I used KYB KG5413 shocks for Dodge trucks. Extended is 24.45 and I have no problems removing the wheels now and it still rides nicely.

Yep! Craig is 100% Solid! Front end rebuild kit, brakes, rotors, drums and other odds and ends I've gotten from him. Definitely stop and see him. If he doesn't have it at the show he can get it to you! @mobileparts see you next week and I'll make sure mum stops by to say hello!

I just did this on my 71. I don't know if the dash wire harnesses are similar, but if you look under the dash above the fuse block there may be a yellow connector with three openings hanging around the steering column. My shop manual has this labeled as a connection for the tach power. I clamped...

It's beautiful!

All new gauges wired up and working except the tach light doesn't work. That's cool though the dash lights look better anyway. Zero holes drilled in the firewall. There are plenty of places to fish wire through.

I had nothing better to do today so I converted the old dead clock into a tachometer.

While I wait for my engine rebuild kit to come in I figured it would be a good time to hunt for an 8¾ rear to replace the single shot 8¼ to handle the new engine. After searching the internet, FB groups and ebay I came up with nothing. Surprisingly I called a wrecking yard 20 minutes away and...

To Just popped up on my FB and got super excited!

Reason for asking is that I'm doing some upgrades on my 71 fury and it would be smart to upgrade the rear. I have an 8¾ rear with open 2.76 in a 489 case sitting in a 69 fury that I'll probably never get around to working on. Has anyone ever done this swap successfully? I see on the charts that...

Everyone is loaded up and ready to roll out!

I found the vent and cable on eBay. The vent was from a 69 Monaco and the cable from a 71 Monaco. I have a 71 Plymouth so I believe the 69 thru 73 c body vents will interchange. The 68 and earlier vents are different.

Fresh oil change today, new showfield sticker slapped on the windshield and all the new parts checked and re-torqued. It's almost go time!
