John, I can give you a hand... being that is all that is working. the A.W. car show was hot and you needed a camaro... That they never built for the win ... 69 SS/RS 454? But a purple and white 70 Cuda' did get the cheerleader trophy. L code? Colorado MoPar did show... The rotten Banana Charger did trophy in something. Debbie allowed the cheerleaders and Pom squad crawl all over her convertible for photographs and not even a mention. But a 59 did win a tropny best a sad 59 Thunderbird semi-taneau? I have never seen one before! this strangely with later cover Poorly cut to fit. Not bitter but fiercely confused.

I have seen that 59 Tonneau T-Bird before. Is it called a Tonneau or a parade boot? or is both acceptable?

Sorry about the missing N In tonneau, I backed up to far to replace the when I missed the E. My uncle Glenn whom I refer knew better would have shot that participant and gone boating in his 59 Chris Craft! Powered by a 430 Lincoln.

Looks great John. They get great mileage on those trailers also!!

Steve, Just plum ran out of time....Had to get it out to our own local Mopar clubs show. My 2010 Hemi Crew Cab gets 18 to 19 MPH towing so that will do for now. With a 413 RB in the Belvy, I can just imagine the great gas millege I will get very soon!

Out of town last weekend to San Fran but came back late last night. Now my brother is coming into town for 4 days. If only Pam will do some work on the car while I am at regular work! Fat Chance!!!

No pictures to post, but Today I received my front and rear bumpers back from the plater and Wow! They look good! Almost afraid to put them on right now. I will wait till some test runs first and the stopping power of the Disc brake setup.

I also have the front and rear seats in with a local upholster and he said he would be done in two weeks. Managed to catch him before the Spring Rush on him that occurs in April.

Door panels and rear interior panels have been on order for 3 weeks with SMS and should get them back sometime before the end of April. I gave them a May 1st deadline of the first Golden Cruise of the year. (there may be one in April but I will be out of town that weekend.

Progress!
