Rob Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Super secret spy photo shows another Trusty/crusty Dodge being worked on on the other side of the garage!..................That's one other than a Mack I'd have. Fraid I'd have to ditch the rear fender though as I've never really been fond of the style. Looks like a really nice restoration.Wonder how it'd look with a Volvo grille????? I'd make him a good deal on one!!!Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

The ole "Trusty, yet Crusty" Dodge has always brought me home. Had a little delay outside of Indy once a couple years ago when it and the fourth deer got together on I70, but other than that has never "failed to proceed" under it's own power.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Now for the real story-Shoulda seen him when informed we were going to straighten that hood and reuse it. I'll check on his progress later today as he's been at it all night. He knows how little filler I'll allow in a job so he's a bit nervous.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 cain't beat that gorilla tape.The glue separates from the fabric with the application of heat and the tape lets go. That is about the only fault I've experienced. It is however, a very good product.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
