What are you up to?

Put the front bumper on... I think I like it. May add a bit of Safety. The bumper is from a 66 I think they are a bit narrower than the 63. I saw one on Sparky's 63 and if you wern't careful you could get caught on it!!
Front Plate also keeps the FUZZ happy.

Matt, Both work great! Would pick the one in best shape or lowest mileage if known. I personally like the 2004-R's. easy to install and you can use your stock drive shaft. And making a hanger for a 2004r is much easier.....

Mail off vent glass yesterday to "AVgeek" for the second time.

Good O'l USPS completely destroyed the package I mailed last week.

The good news is I ins. it for $40 and will get it and the $14.95 shipping. So I Ins, the second one for $60.00........

Smart on the usps insurance - I was a Part time postmaster replacement in 3 small town offices. You wouldnt believe the ways these people can do to a box to destroy it. I always use fedx now -those folks are good .

Yep. I have two 2004R's. One for each van...

Replacing my rocker cover gaskets (had a small leak on one side...I hate oil leaks), and fixed up my battery box isolation...

The paint is PPG Delfleet 'Sting Red' which is used on the Australian Holden Commodore - looks a bit orange in the photos, and the drivetrain is a Mopar 360ci with 3 spd auto, currently running 2.76:1 rears.
