1968 Fury- new here

[Shakerdave]

Going on this weekend. The 915s I have on it the local machine shop did a piss poor job on, the valve heights are off. I should have double checked them year's ago. So if anyone is interested Pm me. Really don't need them laying around. Gotta get this sorted out before the cbody show.

Halfway done. My Parkinson's only allows me a few hours of work depending on how difficult it is physically. Sometimes maybe only an hour. Slow and steady. I would have knocked this out in no time 20 years ago.

That looks pretty sweet! Too bad no one makes some type of clear valve cover.

You're car is going to be a beauty1

And I know what you're going through, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2018. But looking back, I realized I had symptoms for at least 2 or 3 years earlier. I just thought it was part of the aging process.

Use a cheap Amazon light across the hood. New plug wires and a tune. Then wait for the weather to cooperate.

 

[Shakerdave]

Tuning session. Idle speed A/F ratio done. Gotta dial in the primaries a bit rich yet.

 

[Shakerdave]

Got these slick wire holders. Gonna have to loom the **** outta these wires until I can get some ends to cut them down. Taylor wires for 440.

 

[Shakerdave]

Finally got to go for a cruise.

You are doing some great work! Sharp looking fury! How is that carpet holding up? I have replaced my twice by now because it faded really bad really quick. Now i just touch it up with rit dye every now and then...?

 

[Shakerdave]

Enjoying the fruits. L-I-V-I-N!

 

[Shakerdave]

Carpet is holding up great. Gonna find some floor mats though. Found some oldies from when we first got her home. Memory lane.

 

[Shakerdave]

Finally got the spare tire. One of those oh, I'll get to it later items.

 

[Shakerdave]

New floor mats finally came.

Met up with an old pal that sold me the car almost 30 years ago. He has had a lot of very desirable mopars over the years. Also met a guy who worked at Belvidere that said he was installing the window trim on these on the line. He had the blue charger in the background. Good day.

 

[Shakerdave]

Spring fever. Been waiting on this kit to get here:

 

[Shakerdave]

Our last cruise. Rest in peace mom. Fu** cancer.

 

[Shakerdave]

Found the trunk letters at a local swap meet. Re painted them, turned out pretty good.

 

[Shakerdave]

First time out this year. It still amazes the amount of people that like the car when we go out.
