Good to see you still picking away at Dennis. It helps to have a few projects to take breaks and refocus.
Dennis. That's his name.
- Thread starter '69FuryIIIConvertible
- Start date
I fought the spring shackles on properly then dropped the car down, its the first time it's left the garage since 2017, and the first time it's ever been on this trailer since I built it.
Its a weird feeling after seeing this car in the back of the shop all this time. For now I'm taking it up to my grandparents house till spring so I can get this house listed.
The more i looked the car over the more i want to put it on a rotisserie, blow it apart and get it media blasted.
Its rotten, and I kept seeing more and more now that I'm more experienced and know what to look for. That being said, I have the skills to Save this car. That's why is stopped and waited until i did.

Winched the car up on my trailer yesterday evening, the first time this car had ever been on this trailer, as I built the trailer in 2015 and then did the big overhaul on it in 2018 when the car was already off the road.
Garage looks weird without Dennis in the back.
Headed out this morning, for a gas half ton with 332k it sure does pull 6000+ lbs nice at 65 MPH.
Got up to my grandparents house where I store some stuff currently until we sell it at which point I realized this was the first time since at least 2011 that Dennis left Durham Region.

Were you renting the house in Ajax?
Did you inherit your grandparents place?
No the house in Ajax is ours, my grandparents left their home jointly to my mother and I, part of getting the 73 out of the garage is so I can sell my house, my grandparents house will be forsale again come spring and I'll use what I get from it to hopefully drop my mortgage as low as i can so i can build a shop utilizing some equity.

Given its location, You should have no problem getting a quick sale on your Ajax place whrn you are ready to list it.

Whenever you are ready to pick back up on Dennis again, I still have plenty of parts on the Green 73 in Texas!!
I was just thinking about you and that car today, there will be stuff I'll need from it for sure.

I look forward to seeing "Big D" in his new digs and back on rotation again soon.
Headed out to a Junkyard I've dealt with for quite a few years, I actually worked with the owner for a while, unfortunately the yard has been sold and the majority of what's in it will be getting crushed out.
I knew this base 72 Suburban had a decent dash pad in it, so I headed up and spent some time today getting it out, its much better than my original and will certainly help to spruce things up.

Thanks for the update. Brings back memories of heading down to Sodus NY 20+ years ago to a wrecking yard to pull the pad I put into Nessie.
