And a dash!!!! My T/A originally came with a standard dash and I found a 70 only one to use.

Me too, my first T/A in 1979 was go-mango and it has always been my favorite mopar color. No vinyl top as the car didn't come with one and I don't want to drill any holes. Wait until i get to 2009. I've made a lot of progress. Stay tuned.

Almost starting to look like a car again, but I would have to wait until spring of 2007 to hear her run...

I spent the winter of 06-07 restoring the rear end and redoning many other small parts. When spring of 07 rolled around the new rear/springs/lines went in.

May of 2007, the big day, with everything hooked up and my brand new six pack carbs installed (boy are they expensive) the T/A fired to life for the first time in 6 years. It runs great and still does. As mentioned before, the engine is stock but I added electronic ignition and I do love that moparformance mini starter.

By the end of 2007 I restored the front fenders and bolted them on. I had also driven the car up the street. I had some brake issues that I was still dealing with but it was really starting to look and act like a car.

I figured it was time for another update. I did not get much done in 2008, just the bodywork on the left quarter. I was busy with work and I got real sick toward the end of the year but 2009 saw a new beginning so I started with the Grill. I had the headlight bezels redone (by specialty-bill from MCG, came out nice). I didn't have the funds to do the grill so I cleaned and fixed it myself. I was happy with the result.

Light assemblies ready to go (beautiful repro bezels by PC classics of canada, cost some bucks but worth every penny, I cleaned and restored my original lenses and housings)...
