A few of you may have read that I was picking up a '66 Chrysler from a past post.
Here are a few shots from where it has been for about 10 years and where it'll be until I get my hands on the registration.
Enjoy!

It's in pretty good shape. She looks straight as an arrow.. Just really dirty :lol: Post progress pics :thumbs:
Don't worry. I will. :thumbs:
Oddly enough I'm more excited about before and after pics of just washing the beast then I am about restoring her :grin_nod:
The whole process is gonna blow though. It belongs to my friends boyfriends cousin who live about an hour and a half away from me, but the car is at his parents place 2 hours in the other direction from me ::)
This should be interesting ..
That is PIMP!!!
Very straight car!

make sure to take pics along the way :thumbs:

that was my first thought but i let it go :clap: :rofl:
Haha. I was really tired when I posted it. The gutter part of my mind never kicked in :rofl:
Thanks guys. I was just talking with a buddy of mine who's gone through who knows how many mopars and told me how easy it is to find parts. Oddly enough, it's almost easier then finding parts for newer cars ..

That's a sweet ol' ride.

looks good man. hows the paint held up threw the years?
Part of the car had been repainted about 15 years ago, but I can't figure out if it's the dull paint or the shiney paint. I think the repaint is actually faded completely while the original stuff is still somewhat shiny.
Back drivers side wheel is seized and we already broke one of the wheel nuts trying to get it off. I gotta get 5 more before I head back to the car, break them all off, then figure out how to unseize the drum :rofl:
Oh the joys of restorations :clap:
Man, you guys scare me with these thread titles sometimes :boat:
I'd say get your mind out of the gutter, but then I realize that mine is just as bad if not worse then yours :P

That makes two of us :lol:
I've been going through the process to. I bought a 90 454ss and its been a pain. I now have parked it for a while because I'm sick of working on it. Its eaten up a lot time and money since I've bought it and its going to have to wait for a while. It has cooled down and now I'd like to start riding again.
That's a badass truck. Get back to work :lol: This car is more of an experience then anything else. I've always wanted to restore a vehicle and I loved the looks of this one, so I figured it was worth the money. I just wish it wasn't so damn far from me during the week :(
