Re: " BRUTUS" 1964 Dodge project

Gee, Mo, were y'all still hanging coon tails on your cars in the mid 60's??  And I thought Southeast Texas was some years behind the curve. 
Heck, we didn't get Beatle wigs 'til 1972!  :-[ :-D

I saw those hood scoops for the first time on match race and superstock Fords back then, and personally have always favored the MOPAR Max Wedge scoops.
But, as I always say, your car, your money and you get to make the choices!

Sad about the painter's daughter!  Here's hoping there can be a successful treatment for her!

Hi all,

    I thought some of you would like to see what I'm doing on the Dodge.  It is back in the paint shop and the top has been painted. The painter's daughter has had a brain tumor removed and it is malignant. Several weeks of chemo and therapy. His wife passed from the same thing just about one year ago. I am not bothering him--he needs no more pressure.  The rest of the body is in final sanding and won't be long till it is painted. 

  The hood is done and waiting here at home to be put on. Now remember, my theme is" how I would have built it in the Mid 60's" Those hood scoops were very popular on all kinds of cars.  It will have ram air induction from the inner head-lights

  Around here back at the time, very few engines were built up. Except for the racers. To get a high performance car, we bought Highway Patrol cars  that were being replaced, at auction. Or go to a salvage yard and buy a H.P.engine to put in our cars. Thats probably what I would have done , put in a salvage patrol car engine. (413  police pursuit) Headers were fairly new and expensive. I would use the exhaust manifolds from the engine. 

   There will be several other goodies that was era correct for street and strip.  Anyone have ideas used in the day? NO not coon tails!.............................MO
