In the 27 years I have known this car it finally is looking good. Now the fun of putting it together. 7113007-paintedbee003.jpg (472 downloads) 1969 Super Bee High School car I got back 2004 Ram 2500

Pretty cool you have owned it this long, give us a little history on the car and specifics. What colors are you doing? Rick. The funny thing is, I have not owned it this long. I sold the car in 1991 and lost track of it until 2010 when I bought it back,in about the same shape it was in when I sold it. It is a 383 4spd. car. NOM 383 built pretty stout. Black top and interior, stripe delete. I will post more pics after I pick it today. Last edited by runnerrt; 03/11/12 12:18 PM. 1969 Super Bee High School car I got back 2004 Ram 2500

Come on now... there are plenty of people who take their cars to shops, then expect the body men to buy all the supplies from there own pocket and think they can just show up and the car will magically be done.

Yes, there are some things that would be easier with out the engine in there, but there are changes coming at the shop I work at and not sure how long I can work on it there. So I got the engine and trans in it and the rest I can do at home in the garage if needed. 1969 Super Bee High School car I got back 2004 Ram 2500
