Project Gray ghost Reply #10 – August 20, 2007, 09:00:57 AM That thing SOOOOO needs a 440 :hick:Excellent project, Bearmax. I some day wanna do the same thing with a '78 Ramcharger, although I'm relatively certain that the actual '78 Ramcharger that I want to find has loooooooong been recycled into lawnmower blades...So tell me - after looking at the cars in that pile and coming to the conclusion that every one of them are in better condition (in terms of rust) than most of the cars on the road around here, what exactly drives somebody to junk a car in Florida? Around here they're junked when rusted so bad they can't be fixed for safety inspection (usually frame rust or serious floor/unibody rust). Rarely does the body outlast the drivetrain - or junkyards are filled with perfectly good engines and transmissions sitting in rusted out basket cases......oh, and can ya snag me the left door mirror off that Town Car in the pile-o-junkers pic? :hick: Quote Selected
