Re: "The Beater Bee" becomes "The Better Bee"
 I was blasting the forward k-member bracket and found another factory marking. This "2" is also on the survivor A12 Bee I'm using a reference for my restoration as well. I penned in where the marking is below. It was easier to see in person and with is wiped with solvent. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: "The Beater Bee" becomes "The Better Bee"
I added the grille and radiator blackout and starting to add a few parts here and there. It gets kind of sloppy with slight overspray on the upper support and spotty coverage behind bolts based on the spray pattern. I looked at several survivor cars to replicate the psttern. I'm refinishing the gas tank and waiting on a few more parts to come in so i can get the tank and lines installed. After that, it comes off the twirler for the last time!!!
   Parts lined up. Looking like a mini Lynch Road plant in here! Was that the whistle??? All I need is the roach-coach to show up at break time to be Uber authentic. Actually, I better not. I'll probably tear that down and restore it too [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]  [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Cheers [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

It was nothing to show up there around midnight on Friday night and there be 1500-2000 people there for the street races. Race right up to daylight Saturday mornings leave have breakfast go home and sleep and be right back at midnight on Saturday night. Lots of great memorie. Great job on the restoration Sir.

Re: "The Beater Bee" becomes "The Better Bee"
----It was funny when you mentioned your name, Molnar as I have an old friend in Ohio named Dick Molnar who was a big Mopar guy for years and years. He could really make a 440 sing. His nickname around Seville area as well as Dragway 42 was Mr. Mopower!......Bill S

Re: "The Beater Bee" becomes "The Better Bee"
Well Jim, now I have to go and make that! Thanks! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] I know there was a larger version of the sheet but didn't know about where it was placed. Very interesting and thanks for sharing!
Incidentally, I have 5 broadcast sheets for my 2016 Scat Pack Challenger, and it includes the big sheet that says "Final" on it. Three of the sheets have tape on them where they were hung on the car! Really neat. Also, I have a contact at Chrysler who ran my VIN and my Scat is a a very early build ando a 1 of 1 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Guess I'm going to have to blow that sheet up and hang it from the hood....Oh wait.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] Cheers
