    Hint: A spouse with liver cancer and a pole building full of muscle cars. He'd begun the last bit of bodywork on the Chevelle (trunk lid replacement and such) before the illness sapped his strength.

    There are a number of Chrysler projects - a Dart and a Charger among them - which are partially finished or completely disassembled. Now let's see if I remember all the stuff my late uncle taught me about wrenching on 60s and 70s era iron...

    The 20 something that still resides somewhere in the deep recesses of this OF is jealous.

    Not that I have the knowledge, time, money, or garage to work on one of these beauts, so I'll just have to remain envious.

    Ahh, well then she wants to keep the Chevelle, for damn good reasons.

    I'd love to have a '63 Dodge Dart GT convertible. Smoooth!

    I ran those on the 55 chev modified producton car and the B/gasser. I drilled hole in the outer edge of the wheel, and put sheet metal screws throught the holes into the tire bead. That stopped the tires from spinning on the wheel, and cutting the inner tube.

    Yeah I watch sometime. The participants act like a bunch of unsupervised 10 year olds. I do watch the Velocity channel all the time. Nothing but shows about cars.
