And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Had a 67 Dodge Coronet, 440 Magnum, 375 horsepower stock. Drum brakes all around. They'd stop once just fine, kinda slow you a little the second time you needed them, and not at all by the third time. Heated up, glazed over, and worthless. You kinda had to plan your stops. Down-shifting helps even as it tears the engine up.
Damn!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, that hurts and gonna be expensive!

Typical weak brakes. All go no slow.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, they would put unpowered drum brakes with a 426 or 440. Bad, even if it only has a 383.

DeleteI'm sure a replacement nose won't be at all hard to find at Autozone.
ReplyDeleteThat'll learn ya, fucking around and all.
ReplyDeleteAnd the obligatory...
ReplyDeleteBuff right out...
That's a shame. Hope the frame isn't bent.
ReplyDeleteThe radiator is probably ok. There is 3 feet of nose on that car before the radiator.
ReplyDeleteIf you can afford the car you can afford the insurance.
ReplyDeleteIt'll buff out.
ReplyDeletedaytona or a super ?
ReplyDeleteLooks like he fucked around an found out.
ReplyDeleteThat's why, even if you restore it to stock, I'd put discs up front at least. I know it won't be fully "stock", but I also want to live to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteFenders.and hood are easy to find. Nose piece and headlight covers will cost you dearly. Decal on left front says Super bird.
ReplyDeleteSorry, my bad. No decal left. That looks like what's left of the headlight bucket.
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! CW, is that your car? Hope not.
