Welcome to the site, more pic's please

from the restored and new painted 440 engine

 

[Snotty]

under the cover is my daughters Cadillac Eldorado Convertible 1973 and in front my wifes Ford Gran Torino Station 1976. My daily driver is a Dodge Ram Van B3500 15 seats wagon, thats all, in time

These are all sweet, but it got me thinking, isn't gas a little expensive in Germany for that Van to be your daily driver? I don't like driving my Dakota everyday and the gas price here isn't bad.

 

[Snotty]

Welcome, by the way!

What kind of paint did you use on the exhaust manifolds?

Hi, it's not expensive, because I drive with LPG and gas. My Dodge have a 37 gallon LPG gas tank, too. I start with gas and drive with LPG. I pay 0,51 € for 1 liter

I used VHT Flame Proof 1300-2000°F Header Paint Ceramic Coating, ground, color and finish

Ah, Ok!! That's about what I paid for a liter for gas in Canada in 2003. Not bad at all! Where did you mount the tank, in the back of the van?

Thank you, my first contact with US cars is 45 years ago. I was born near a US army station and spent many time with the soldiers on the tower to take a look to the jets. It's my life and obsession to cruise US cars...I'm often in Sweden, there is a much more bigger US car scene. I love it

I mount the 2 tanks under the car between axle and rear bumper. Inough place for 2 tanks

Thank you for welcome. Regards to TX.

I also prefer 4 doors, I know some think that I'm strange.

I agree, the two doors are sexy but the four door hardtop is just beautiful when all the windows are down.

Oh, and herzlich willkommen, Jacky Dude. I have family in Salzgitter, but they don't have nice cars like you do.

Technically it would fit on the skirt but it's not even close for 1967 New Yorker trim.
He will need one that looks like this

 

[68Nwprt]

I guess it is quite different. I should have known. I'll have to buy it for my Newport.
