I'm looking forward to hearing that in my own driveway soon. Tnx Jeff... my neighbors didn't look happy....lol! Lyndon, I agree with the color combo. I think it's the best Mopar offered!! My young lad is having fun playing around w/the car...he's also just started building models. .... Russ.... sorry to hear of your loss. You are correct, no easy way to get to Yarmouth. If you fly into Halifax and require anything let me know. Tnx for the + words on the Bee... we're very happy with it. I really like the color combo on yours.... factory color on the stripe? We're hoping to have the grille's painted and in soon. Just ordered 4 new shocks and a reverse shift rod also. Bryan Don't be stupid.... it's not smart! 1970 Super Bee.

Removed the decals from both, need to paint the front's black then install. Also, finally decided where to put the tach... not a fan of huge tach's and couldn't bring myself to cut into the hood for a Dixco. So, had this small older one, going to mount it on the left "A" pillar.... MTF...... Bryan Don't be stupid.... it's not smart! 1970 Super Bee.

Also, a big "Thanks" out again to my friend Robin aka:MagnumCharger for helping me score a correct breather for my car....! as always, much appreciated! Just a little paint and it will be as good as new! Bryan Question, is the orange for the breather the same color as the engine??? Don't be stupid.... it's not smart! 1970 Super Bee.

A single nipple breather would have been used on all non N95 applications. Keep up the nice work!!! 70 Road Runner 383-4 4 speed FJ5 & black guts 70 Charger R/T 440-4 4 speed FJ5 & white guts
