Interesting car, I've never seen anything like that. Maybe that's why I like it so much. Kudos on the website too.... although the LOUD noise it makes when you open it up was a little embarassing when I opened it up at work..

My car used to eat batteries like candy. When it was 6 volt, I had to buy a bus battery just to keep enough juice to start it. Then I switched to 12v, and it killed them in 4 or 5 days not running, and ate die hards about one a year. Finally I put an aux. marine battery(with the isolation/charging kit) in the trunk and ran all the goodies off of that...stereo, neons, dvd...and now the main battery stays charged while the trunk battery goes down about a half a volt a week when I'm not running it. Not too bad, I can live with that!

Having gas problems. I don't think I'm getting enough fuel to the carb. Starts hard, runs for a few seconds and idols down and conks out, unless I keep revving it. Last time this happened was in 1992. Found dead spiders in the gas line and a bumble bee plus a lot of dirt in the tank. Looks like I might have to start blowing things out again. Oof.

A few subtle mods!

Gonna be a kewl one, Evolvo! Betcha you don't pull up to a stoplight beside another one that looks just like it!

Got the headers and exhaust, brake booster and master cylinder done on the Plymouth this week. Also started running some of the fuel and brake lines and making the rear coilover mounts. Going to install the floor for the final time on Monday, should have the body off the frame and on the rotisserie by the end of the week.... Got the wiring harness back from the guy who did the mods on it and the ECU. He really did a great job cleaning up the factory's wiring mess!!!!!

did some work on the donovan 735. crower has the TI rods they said there making the 2 rods .that is not what i wanted at this time. there was some screw up . they do not like calling guys back on there part .so it all falls down on me like i am the s.o.b now .oh well

Great car and some really great work on it! Thanks for putting up the pictures!!!!!

Hey George, that is one wild ride! The crazier the better. Really like the tilt front
-CP

Thanks! The tilt front end makes working on the engine way easier if need be, and the top of the hood will open traditional style but these big fenders are almost impossible to work over ecs with the hood the way i moved the opening up higher. But still have to fit all my body gaps and get hood fit to new hinges and i'll be ready to break car down and off the frame so i can start smoothing it up aswell as the suspension and rear end and get my air ride in.

Thanks for the compliments! sorry about the volume, I'm just learning web design and haven't figured out how to control the volume yet...let's just say it's no where near as loud as the car LOL

Nice 65....my first driver was a 65 Newport 4dr hardtop with a 383. Wild car, all original and fast as hell. One day the oil pump died and bye bye Newport.

....Hi Fellas. I've been out for a while with an injury, better now.

Daver.
