I think it looks great Zippy !! Glad to hear you got it out. Hey most of us with street cars are far from perfect as I know mine car is nowhere near perfect. Just glad to hear you got her out and now you need to get it out more and enjoy it. I took my car out yesterday morning because since it's been raining so much in Md when I saw the sun out I figured I better take a ride or I may not get another chance this weekend. And it was raining again yesterday afternoon. So I snapped a few pics while I was out cruising yesterday morning. I know you had to have a big smile on your face when you did get behind the wheel. And I am sure you will be in the 10's in no time. Ron

Looks good to me Rich, I've had my truck since '88 and it's still a work in progress. The body was done much like yours. I had very little money, short on talent and skills for paint and body. They are never done, it's evolved from 14,12,11,10,and when it hits the track again 9's if I hit it with full power. The frame will give up and it will force me to back half it.Dave

Mr. 340-definitely will...thanks!
I am glad I "outed" myself on Fakebook's B body page with a certain hashtag that a few folks from here noticed... it is cool to see some familiar faces and cars there too.
The people (the cool ones-you know who you are) make the whole thing worthwhile. thumbs up.

Those 68-69 Plymouths b-Bodies are soooo sexy in black. I told my grandfather once , that I couldn't wait to finish my truck I had at the time, He said, the day you think you finished it , is the day you lost the passion for it.
Truth has no agenda, but those with an agenda make their own truth. Some of us are so open minded they only see their View

You got it out and drove it and that means it looks good. Ron

Appreciate all the remarks, thanks.
My daily driver just took cuts in line other day, time to rebuild the front end in the 5.7 magnum so now I'm waiting on parts for that and it's occupying the hoist. Oh well...there is Really Not much left to do before attempting gtx suspension testing but I want to have a look at the brakes and so on just because it's sat for so long.
