I grew up in a farming community so we used front end loaders,somebody always had a tractor they could scrounge up :waytogo: :Big Laugh:
Dad had a block and tackle chain hoist setup in the garage on a 6x6 rough wood frame. Lifted many engines out with that. The loader on the old Case, usually had a small hydraulic leak.

Got the Camaro ready for the end of the season. Washed, clayed, Griot ceramic wax. One more coat of wax tomorrow, then under the cover in the garage until next spring.View attachment 575081

I’m preparing the GTX for winter storage too. I still have to do the top side but the engine compartment and undercarriage are done. This is the first time using ceramic coating for this, I’m pretty happy with the results…IMG_2882.jpegIMG_2879.jpegIMG_2881.jpegIMG_2849.jpeg

I still think the 72 to 74 Challengers and Cuda's were better looking then their 70/71 counterparts.

My aunt had one of those.....dumb@ss traded it in on a new 1981 Subaru hatchback smh.
To me the '70 model of both E bodies were the cleanest ones. '70-'71 Challenger over the later ones; between the sad mouth and the taillights that looked they tried to copy a '71 Camaro and ended up copying a '73-'74 Javelin instead lol. '72-'74 Cuda on the other hand absolutely looks better that the '71.....except for the taillights that do actually look like a '71 Camaro's lol. I saw a '72 Cuda that had '70-'71 taillights installed on it and it looked so much better.

I always preferred the round tailights the 72-74 Cuda's had,the square ones used in the 70/71's i thought left the rear panel looking a bit mundane,while the round ones made the rear panel more eye appealing.
The biggest mistake they made was the 71 with the fender gills,they ruined a beautiful fender with those add ons,and the dual headlights and 1 year only grill didn't do anything for the front end of the 71's either.
They were quite a few Cuda's and Challengers in my high school parking lot,and the 72 to 74's were always the best looking versions in my opinion,although they were down a bit in power from the earlier versions.
My buddy had a 340/4speed B5 blue 72 Cuda with the white interior and done up in a day 2 motify,it's still one of the best looking cars i ever saw.He's still got the car yet,he was one of the smarter ones as he hung onto his high school car :waytogo:

This exactly. The '70 was clean and someone thought out loud "how can we screw this up?" and some other jack@ss approved it.
