Probably not directed at you!
Just a wild ass shot in the dark that missed its mark...

Oh... Thank you,
I am currently perfuming a 70 383 superbee pig.
I think it is mostly stock, almost a survivor,
saying that in here is like saying my girl is a little pregnant. Any tips on this one?




Whoops, didn't see this first pic. Your hose clamps (cheap) and I'm not too sure about that horn. I would think it should have the standard looking horn set but I could be wrong. The blackout I see on the rad. support looks like mine did/does, though.
Once again, I'm far-far from Mr. resto guy, I just happened to have owned one 'b' body (among hundreds of all make/models) for a long-long time. There are ton's of people on here with far more expertise than me. just trying to help.



I appreciate your help. Thanks

It is directed at every person on this board. Especially those that bristle with anger when they are called out about their absurd claims, like rusty, tired 69 Chargers being survivors. There is no reason to insult our intelligence here on the board with that nonsense and zero reason to get upset when corrected. Further, when a person who gets a ball like that rolling later posts something proving that he himself has not even basic knowledge about the entire subject at hand, that person shouldn't get bent out of shape when others question why he feels that he should be condescending towards them about the hobby that they know far more about than he does.

Well, I didn't talk down, bristle or act like I knew it all so I'm not sure where your coming from or why your wound so tight. It looked like it was directed at me and didn't see a reason for it to be.

You must be on the verge of exploding all the time if you took that in that way. If I direct something at you specifically, you will know.

Or maybe just let the car rot in a field somewhere. Cause everyone wants 100 point mega buck car.




No..I'd love to have a nicely done driver quality four speed R/T. It's just that the little things do make a difference and when you look at what could have been done very easily with little time or effort, and wasn't done, it makes you wonder about the quality of work on other things. For example, a chrome breather cap is a distinctive detail, easy to get and doesn't cost that much. Since it wasn't swapped, it's a glaring detail that sticks out. Luckily, this is an easy thing for the new owner to fix.

Painting the bezels around the stripe wouldn't have taken that much more time or effort to do right the first time. Since they weren't painted, it's a glaring detail that sticks out. This could be fixed by the buyer but why should they have to?

Emblems and a stripe? The body color through the stripe is a detail I love about the 69 R/T. the emblem on a stripe delete car is not centered above the bezel.

The same is true for the black out behind the grille. It wouldn't have taken that long to shoot the support black. Again, this could be done by the new owner but why should they have to go back in and do it? It would have been so much easier to do when you had things apart.

There are some other small things that could have been done differently and no one item is a deal breaker for a nice driver but things like this do add up to a guy like me. It makes me go...hmmmm....if they didn't take the time to do the little stuff, did they really take the time to do the big more expensive things like the engine, tranny, rear, body work, etc, correctly? Getting some of the details right, and they do not have to be to 100 point specs for a car like this, do pique interest and add value to a sale.



And, yes, you should save every 69 Coronet R/T you find rotting in a field.

Obviously you care when it isn't directed at you. I can't imagine how bad you would come unglued if something were to be said to you, Mr. Knee Jerk Reaction.

Careful there RT, some of these guys have fragile egos. That might leave a bruise. Even on somebody that shouldn't care.

You must be in training for message board mercenary warfare then. What is the going rate for "involvement" in a conflict these days?

I do know how to spot a forged crank after staying at Holiday Inn Express.
