I liked your old slots way better. Great progress. Thanks, man. I haven't reached the progress you've made yet. But I'm slowly getting there!

I think the centerlines look way better than the slots. The cragars look good too.

I liked the way the car looked with both. I may have to try Cragars this time.

I ended up buying a set of 4, 15x10's for the rear and 15x6's for the front for a little more than a single wheel cost new. Now that is a recoverable expense, of course. Nothing a couple hours of well placed overtime can't fix. But then I was perusing For B-Bodies Only in the parts section, looking for something or other and ran across a black 4-door '69 Coronet. Pics looked solid, there wasn't a lot of interest, and once I called and talked to the guy about it...

The car is super solid, the trunk floor, extensions, lower quarters, and tail panel, all which need help on my car, are darn near perfect. The fenders are not the nicest I've owned, but they are better than the ones on the Bee, and there is no rot in the dog leg. They are solid. GTSuperbee actually started parting the car, which is native to Ohio, and if he hadn't it might be tempting to drive the darn thing. But it will give its life to make my Bee complete. I now have all the metal I need to do the Bee except for a roof skin, the back window metal, and if the right quarter is really bad, I'll need one of those, as well.

So at this point, it's still possible to strip the parts car, make some of my money back, and pursue the A-body again. When I woke up one day last week after work, I was cruising the Book, and found a set of seat covers for my Bee from a fellow Facebook/Moparts member. They were used, but still in amazing shape. A couple small spots on the front seat bottoms need repaired. The back seat is immaculate. So at this point, I stopped fighting it. There are too many things being thrown my way to ignore, so onward I go on the Bee. I would love to take it to the Mopar show at Trails in May, and being 50 years of Super Bee at Carlisle, there is a strong urge to make it there, too. So it's time to develop a plan and get to work. Stay tuned, folks...

nice score! Hey a buddy is redoing a '69 four door, and needs these three brackets. They go from the tail light panel to the crossmember for the rear bumper...

I know the ones I have are good. Let me see if I am going to need them for my car before I sell them.

I could use the rear rails in my charger if you do not need them.... If the weather ever starts cooperating, I'll get to taking what I need off of it. All the rails are fair game.
