I am amazed at how rusty the outside of that engine is. I've pulled apart motors with 150K on them that looked better. wierd.

This one only had 11,000 miles on it. It hadn't been run enough to develope enough oil leaks to preserve itself.

This is a little off topic, but I was watching "The Defenders" last night. Jerry O'Connell drives a '66 Satellite convertible. They showed a shot of the right side, and down low on the fender was a 426 HEMI emblem. Anyone else notice this? Bob

I wonder is it the same car David Boreanaz drove in ANGEL with a few changes like the grille and trim?

I hope the "fish fry" hasn't stopped the coverage of the Hemi car.

Not a chance. We are in the process of cleaning up and documenting all the engine and tranny parts and checking everything.Jim is away for awhile and when he returns we will make some decisions as how we will proceed.

I was at Bobs last Sunday and spent a good chunk of time with the car and Jim. He had some great stories on the times with the car. Real nice guy. I documented a lot of things as far as dates go and PNs. Without further blathering on my part here are some pictures. We removed the back seat, it was real stubborn, but we won. Here is the BC sheet.

Here is some nice assembly line work. Must be the spot welder missed his marks and other methods needed to be employed to keep the car moving. Looks like I need to brush up on crap welding to keep my restorations skills up.

License plate "kit" that was in the glove box. In case your state required front plates. It has two screws, two plastic screw inserts for the bumper and one rubber plate bumper. It was cool to see one of those again.
