I remember spying that one in the background on your GTX thread.
If it turns out half as sharp as the X did it'll be a real keeper!

...Wait you pulled the 383 OUT, it even had HP cast iron manifolds! B engines are WAAAYYYY better than RBs, that was a big mistake!

Now that I know where you're documenting your resto I'll be sure to check in. I'm sure this one will be as good if not better than your other master pieces (Dart/Charger/GTX)

Cheers!

One of my favorites on Cars in Barns.

I remember talking to someone on moparts that this car was for sale way back and considering buying as well simply for it story and of course it being a four speed A12 Bee! Good luck with the car.
Gotta love barn finds.

OK.... I think I owe everyone an update on this car. I have definitely been putting some hours in on this car. I have cleaned out my garage and got rid of any unnecessary projects and am just focusing on the most important ones. As I dug into this car, it just kept getting rustier. But... It is on the road to recovery! This car originally came from Wisconsin and it literally rusted apart at the seams. Every where there was a pinch welded seam, it rusted between the two pieces of metal. I ended up drilling out ALOT of spot welds, media blasting the parts, and then welding the same parts back together again. It was a lot of work but I saved most of the metal and it is looking great. Over the next several photos, you will see what I am talking about.

I lost a bunch of photos (from my cell phone) of the work I had done on the car but you will see the majority of the work. Basically; cutting out rust, forming patch panels, and welding in the panels. VERY time consuming.

As you can see, I had to replace the RH kick panel area. That was a very difficult piece to replace. I had to cut the new piece into three pieces to get it to fit and them weld it back together. Pay no attention to my buddy Sean drinking the Miller High Life. Yes, the same Sean that went on the trip with me to pick the car up. He has been with this car from the beginning.
You can also see that I removed the RH inner fender. In the following pictures you will see why.
