Thanks guys! I appreciate the feedback! Yes, Ryan. This one fought me hard, but like you say, it inspires me to continue (eventually) and restore another (maybe)
 And speaking of that, it was supposed to by the Crunchy Cuda up next, but I couldn’t get the owner of that to sell it after it was all said and done. He was ready, then I wasn’t, I was ready, then he wasn’t. Finally it all came together and he just couldn’t part with it. It’s understandable, though. It’s all for the better but you never know what chapter is next! Right now it’s concentrating on finishing up some things around here I kept putting off and pushing forward on the BMW 507!  Thanks Jonesy, glad you enjoy my handiwork!  Cheers  Dave

The purple car is officially here in Joysey now. Arrived this evening. All safe and sound tucked in the garage now. Will update tomorrow.

In the garage.
Now where do I start assembling??? First, I guess I'll start from the ground up. I have to tighten all the front suspension bolts. Dave indicated he left it all untightened because his alignment guy usually tightens everything during the alignment procedures. Luckily when the trailer arrived we noticed a castle nut on the floor. Looked underneath and both tie rod ends had fallen out of the spindles. Whey! Now that would have made it exciting when it came time to roll her out! No problem. We threw my son under the car and made him screw the nuts back on. That's what skinny teenagers are for, right? I pulled all the boxes and parts out of the inside and trunk and got her up on stands now. Let the fun begin! The first real thing I need to do is get the white headliner installed. The entire interior revolves around the headliner being in place, first. Hopefully that arrives soon... Last edited by njsteve; 08-22-2020 at 06:48 PM.

My first addition to the car - now it's officially a Mopar.
I've had this Pentastar emblem in my dresser drawer for 35 years. Finally used it on something worthy. :-)

BTW, if anyone needs a car hauled, Matt Lewis who picked up the purple cuda (and also transported my 73 SD455 Formula when it was sold) is a great guy to deal with. He has an nice, clean enclosed trailer with a winch and picks up on schedule and arrives on schedule. (I know, what a concept these days!). I highly recommend him.
His contact info is Lewis Detail Factory and Auto Transport (937) 418-9831, The great [email protected] Also on Facebook under Lewis Detail Factory. He is located in Ohio. Last edited by njsteve; 08-23-2020 at 12:14 PM.

Holy moly, it looks like the car blew up!
 I'm glad it arrived safely, Steve-O! I'm anxious to watch the updates! When's your dad coming over to see it? Cheers Dave
