Clay what happened to the ribbing on the inner rocker? Was it covered by some kind of stiffener?


There is a Brad Mauyer chassis stiffening kit installed, so no ribbing.


Two of my cars have the Brad Mauyer stiffening kit. I have one more kit that was never used. Her car looks good.

After 4 years, we got it back from the body shop today.

It is OVERWHELMINGLY orange. But I know that will be toned down when we get the rockers, valences, bumpers and vinyl on it.

We also brought home the rockers, valences, dash frame, engine lid, torsion bars for the trunk and engine lids, and other miscellaneous parts. We have to make another trip out there to bring back the rotisserie and the old, damaged parts.

Looks great!

The reflections of the street in the paint are mirror perfect...

Looks like a Bentley paint job!

So much better than what it came with originally.

Fresh Tangerine is pretty bright and obnoxious too.
I forgot how bright till it came back from the painter.

I'm sure you will put it back together a lot faster than I have..

What I find interesting is that it looks like he has two cars, different colors, with the same plate!

The state of Texas re-issued the plate number on my wife's Oddy to a "classic" plate.

After she was stopped, for the 5th time, for stealing a 62 Dodge, we got new plates...

Police seem to NOT understand, not only is it NOT a 62 Dodge, the plates look like they have been on the car for years.

It's the ONLY time we've been stopped in a Minivan!

5 times in less than 3 months...

How do you get away with that Clay?
