35 + years

Wow, man. 35 years! I only wish I'd hung onto my 68 Monaco for that long. Hard to believe its been 15 years since I let her go.

Can't wait to watch yours come along!

Okay you Mopar gurus what color should the water pump housing be painted on a big block for my 1968 polara

Same Chrysler Turquoise as the rest of the engine, I believe.

I don’t see the a/c

Well, I don't even see an engine to attach it to.

Another great Chrysler first, the invisible engine.
Lol.

That's b/c I am not tech savy so I have to wait until I can get my daughter to upload them for me. However I do enjoy the humor

Heres a few pics of the engine all put back together and in the car. Ready for test fire this Friday.

Does your daughter ever remember it out of the garage? Good job so far, she's gotta be impressed.

 

[Droptop 500]

yes and she remembers riding in it with the top down cause of the wind blowing in her long hair

 

[BLIMP]

Thats awesome

Well everything went well on the first start after laying dormant for 35 plus years(will post pics when my daughter comes over tomorrow) got the engine all broke in now all I have to do is work out the bugs from setting for 35 plus years. all of the gauges work correctly didn't have time to check the heat and I already know the A/C wont work, still need to check the lights and such. Should be able to take her on the road for a shake down this next week. Didn't have any leaks that any of us saw and there was 4 of us.

Very happy for you! Will be nice to see it outside

 

[Droptop 500]

Yeah she doesn't look that pretty on the outside yet

 

[Droptop 500]

Heres a few more

 

[live4theking]
