I will jump in here and share that I have had great luck using Evap O Rust. I dunked my entire suspension pieces including brake calibers in this stuff while restoring the 69 RS Z...unbelievable results. All the original paint dabs came up and just painted back over these areas. Same story with my 69 Charger, but the Charger like the Oregon car, very limited rust beforehand.

Thanks all! Mine is 15K original miles and stored indoors it's whole life for the most part so markings should be there unless someone got aggressive in the past. One of the PO's said he took a sandblaster to the firewall, so probably out of luck there.

Finally! The day has come to bring Crusty from storage to my new shop! Although it's not finished yet, the shop will be a good place to keep her while I gather parts for the restoration.

It was raining when I got home, so I pulled straight into the barn. It's a new meaning to the words "Barn Find":biggthumpup:

You know? It's not numbers matching on the engine, so would a Hemi hurt it?!? :hmmm: Naaaah.... gotta stay true to the tag on this one. More to come....

Cheers
Dave

I thought you were selling the Cuda Dave?

A12pilot 05-04-2019 10:09 PM

I had originally planned on it, Mark. But the concrete final bill and a few other things came in below expected, so I was able to keep it (thankfully).


Cheers
Dave

Dave,

That js Great News :)

What brand is your new lift? Titan?

When you debut the Cuda at MCACN.....know that you have a place to stage her 3.5 miles down the road :)

Daves lift looks like a Bend pak. I just bought a challenger from a place that sells both. I am not sure if you have to hold a lock release on the bend pak but on the challenger you hold the lever until its clear down. If my salesman had told me this, I would have went for the bendpak. You do need air to unlock the BP from what I was told. Mine is a 4 post

Good news Dave! Looking forward to the build.

Thanks, Guys! The lift is from DMS Equipment. Very happy with it so far. Cannot wait to start but it's going to be delayed a bit. My friend lost everything in his shop, including 5 cars, in a massive fire. The one he wants to save is his dad's 52 Ford F1. I've volunteered to restore/rebuild/resurrect it for him and it'll be here st the end of the month. It's going to back up starting on Crusty, and other projects i have. But he'sa good friend and it's a horrible situation that i can help with. I'll start a build thread for that in the General Section later this month! Hope you guys will follow along!!:test:

Cheers
Dave
