Good looking machines! BTW did you make your Mom take her shoes off to get in the car?

Nice, alberio. There's better hobby than making an old classic car look like it just rolled out of the show room...great photo's!

She was a Rosie the Riveter on P51 Mustangs, but she still had to take the shoes off.

Looks like you know exactly what you're doing. Nothing amateurish here. Nicely done. I love MoPar.

Wow! These are amazing. I really shouldn't look, however. My photography addiction takes most of my spare cash.

Great images!!!!!!
Fantastic builds!!!
The Sport Fury brings back memories of my 64 Sport Fury rag top, I bought it in late 1968 for $400 when the drivers father gave to my boss to pay the tow bill, he said this was the last straw with his daughter who was awaiting trial for assaulting a police officer who had stopped her for speeding.
I did the body repairs and a repaint, two years and a I dropped a 1970 Dodge 440 in it.
The power difference between the old 383 and the late model 440 was unbelievable.The engine was out of a police car that had been hit by a train, it completely stock nothing special.
The Friday after the swap was complete I ran it out on the interstate on my weekly trip home from work still don't know the exact speed but the speedo. was 1/2in past 120 mph and still going when I had to slow down for my exit, I made the 102 mile trip in one hour and 10 mins, the last five miles was on gravel road and the top was down!!!
That car was the most well mannered car I ever owned with very little suspension work, just a slight rake by building up the rear springs and very HD shocks.
Sure hated to get rid of it, but my truck needed an engine and I had no money, couldn't haul hay with the car

Wow, I can remember when in high school we walked down to Yurgie/s Chevrolet Dealer and saw the first Corvette. Inline six of course, no V-8 yet. They were expensive about $3500.
That in line 6 engines leaked so much oil you never changed, only added. Cork gaskets!
Good photos are those which invoke recall of days gone by.
