Crazy Sunday - Sixpack Speedshop
This sunday was A Crazy Sunday at Pascal's and Ted's Six-packspeedshop in Overpelt, Belgium. This means that the shop is open on sunday and there's always something special to see. That's fun ofcourse, but you get to meet some people you don't see on a regular basis and talk mopar. Always fun...and...he had a little surprise:

Wagonblog
I found a fellow mopar-blogger who dedicated his journal to his 1963 Dodge 330 Wagon. It's pretty dead but it has some very recognizable shots.

Engine installed
Tonight, we installed the new engine where it belongs: in Red. Everything went smooth...until...an exhaust-strut broke off. I just can't remember how much bad luck is upon me with this Mopar-thing. Maybe I should get myself a nice, 2008 model Toyota Yaris or something like that...whoops...Did I just say that out loud?

Some of the parts had to be painted. Among these where the motormounts. They should be painted completely, including the rubber.

Yep, there she is! Pretty sight isn't it?

The arrival
Today, Red's powerplant was ready to leave the safe haven in Overpelt, Belgium. So, we transformed the little VW Caddy into 12 cilinder and head home. Compliments go out to the Six-Pack Speedshop Team! The engine looks awesome. They put a great amount of work into detailing the engine so it looks like stock again.

1963 Savoy Project: part 5
As Peebles was a /6 car, the k-member has to be converted into a V8 bigblock one for the motormounts to fit. Now Red's without a powerplant and carries an original bigblock k-member, this was a great opportunity for Marcel and Antoon to create a nice template. Here's the result. I think it looks damn cool:
Template inside Red's engine-bay

Mirror mirror on the door
While Marcel and Antoon where working on the K-member, I was trying to figure out how to mount some aftermarket mirrors. Red came without mirrors but Dutch regulations say there has to be at least one mirror on the driverside. The last thing I want is punch some holes in the original sheetmetal so we figured out this is one way of mounting the mirrors. Not the prettiest but the most effective...
New mill
My new mill is being assembled/revived at Six-packspeedshop in Overpelt (Belgium) and I just recieved some shots. It looks awesome...I'm getting it next thursday!!

Holiday
Well, no posts for the next three weeks. I'll be off, burning my butt somewhere on a Thai beach. Meanwhile, Six-Packspeedshop is wrenching on my engine. Hope it will be done when I return...

Survivor: 1971 Dodge Charger SE
Again, this is not an early b-body but my buddy Marcel bought this 1971 Dodge Charger SE a couple of weeks ago and since we don't get to see survivor cars this much, I thought I should mention it. I totally hate the model and think is ugly but then again, that's personal.
This car is matching numbers, has a 383cui 2BBL backed up by a 727 TF automatic transmission which is followed up by a 2.76 gearing. It's a high optioned car; powersteering, powered disk brakes, air conditioning, speedcontrol, 6-way seats, remote hood release, tape-recorder, FM-radio, automatic and so on...I was stunned about the condition of this car. Funny that, with all that options, it doesn't have a right outside mirror...
I don't like the model but I do like the color (Butterscotch Yellow). Chrome is in perfect condition. The only place where you can tell the car has aged, is the trunklid. The paint is "not so good" overthere and has faded.

Single exhaust! How cute...She purs like a kittin'...

Enginebay is original and all labels are there. Except for the repainted valve covers, a new radiator hose and a new radiator, and maybe a new master brakecilinder, this is untouched. Yes, that's a speed-control on the right. Even the heatshield is still there!

The interior is flawless and looks like it's never been used. Even the driver-seat (6-way) is like new. Nice detail: taperecorder.

Little help down the track
This one is nice. The editor of this movie, which was shot from a 1965 Dodge Coronet 500, added some comments. I like it. I always thought that revving the engine after the burnout was just for showing off...but it actually has a reason:
