So white car, black top, red interior .. sharp combo for sure. Let see some more of these "BEFORE" pictures. I dig the NASCAR thing with the wheels for now anyway but I'd use chrome lug nuts.

I really want to put on some magnum wheels. More photos coming up.

You got a lot of sanding, priming, filling, blocking, priming and sanding 5 times more to think about first. Get cracking.

I'd check these wheellip-patches as well. Chances are good these were just put over the rusty areas and this rust issue then will literally "come up" some day in the future.

 

[bulldogchesty]

Yes, I am going to make sure I remove as much body cancer as i can. Lots, and lots and lots,of blocking. This picture is before i started to sand.

We watched that Movie on the bus back from performing at Disney this year. At the time I didn't quite pick that out as a 67 GTX, but when they tore off the hood I said "Hey, that's not a 440 Six Pack!"

No one but me knew what I was talking about.

LOL! Probably didn't have money in the budget to wreck a real nice car.

Are you a singer or something?

Are you a singer or something?

Yup, Bus full of Choir/Band nerds and I was the only Mopar nerd.

I'm not busting your balls theo. So what did you guys do / sing / choir / band or whatever?

But I've got to lay this out there .. "one time at band camp" I'm guessing it's not all bad being in the band

 

[theos911]

I sing Bass II. (Is are higher and IIs are lower, so I'm a very low bass.)

We performed in Downtown Disney this year, which beat the $h*t out of the little back corner of Epcot they stuffed us in two years ago. The entire Vocal Ensemble had 59 this year, but at least 10 didn't go with us to Disney. The band had way more, but it rained for their marching performance - sucks to suck. Anyway, it was sunny for us vocal people.

This was my second time going and will be my last. We go every two years and I went as a Freshmen and now as a Junior.

My favorite piece that we have done is Sixteen Tons. (Did it as a Freshman) The real question is whose version I like better - Tennessee Ernie Ford or Herb Reed.

 

[tallhair]

I see why you would also like Herb Reed but my personal pref would be Ernie.

 

[detmatt]

Yeah nice car, what are your plans for it, keeping it original? Color change?
