Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing. Glad you liked the video.

Randy, I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to hear that this video and the 13 year effort that went into it is motivating someone to work on their car. Sounds like you’re already moving on your project. Stay motivated, slow and steady will finish the race. Best wishes that your project becomes all you wish for. Regards, Lew

It’s perfect in every way. Thanks for watching.

Glad you liked the video. In person, the car is amazing. Thanks for watching!

It really is! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching and for your comments.

There’s a dyno session and a first startup video in the FLICKR link I posted in the comments. Regards

Joe, what a great experience and a pleasure to have met you and the other AAR owners, so many great cars and people. Thanks for the kind words, this restoration really turned into a passion to learn. I’m unsure why I didn’t think to exchange contact info with everyone while at the show, please reach out if you care too, you may still have my info from the bumpers contact. Lew

Great eye !!! When it comes to MOPAR fact can be stranger than fiction. All AAR’s left the factory with the same idler arm, regardless of steering choice delivered on the car. Some folks corrected the issue by replacing the idler on fast ratio steering cars with one from a C-Body. That said it’s not the way they were delivered from the factory. Sounds like you may have a heck of a car!! You wouldn’t happen to be the fella I met at MCACN in 2022? Located in the south east somewhere? I would love a chance to see it in person, or as a minimum some good pictures and a chat. Drop me some contact info 👍 Thanks for watching, glad you were able to appreciate the effort. Lew

@lewb.7823 no, I've never attended many shows, certainly not with my AAR. It hasn't been driven since '74. A fella, I met thru mutual friends, from eastern WA was restoring a Sassy Grass AAR, and he came and took various pics of my car to try to duplicate the original markings on mine. Mine is FK5, Deep Burnt Orange Metallic, and a 3 fender tag car.

@budlanctot3060 I’d love to talk and see some pics of your car, seems a great opportunity to further knowledge. You happen to know your build date?

Thanks for watching and sharing your story. I can’t answer your question but hopefully Lew will see your comment and chime in.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for watching.

It’s been driven some, but largely for wring-out drives to be sure everything operates as it should. The car currently remains in show condition. When it does hit the road it received a full cleaning on the lift to look its best for visitors. Always warms my heart to see the level of appreciation folks express when they see the build in person. So for now, largely show, but one day it will see more frequent duty.

Hope you find someone to help you get it finished. Thanks for watching.

M25 gilled rockers weren’t available on AAR’s, even though some point to pre production images as examples to support the claim. That said there may be a couple instances where folks could have purchased them from their dealer at the time of delivery but again, not a factory offered option. As for chin spoilers, contrary to popular belief not all AAR’s came from the factory with chin spoilers. In the case of this car it is coded for them but after speaking to owner #2 who purchased the car in Feb 1974, and after looking at the original front fenders, there is no evidence the dealer ever installed them. Could have been the original owners request or the dealer being lazy. In either case, to hold true to THIS car, the chin spoilers are in a bag within the trunk, just as it would have been delivered to the dealer. Thanks for watching, and asking the question. Lew
