Me dad and Chad had a great time at the casinos to much fun… we went to high limit and got into this bonus on huff and more puff 4500 dollar hit on 15 dollars… we don’t usually play like this through out the years playing but when we do it’s fun and risky… it was my hit but when we’re at the casinos my money is really everyone’s money… and yes I got a 100x my bet on one a 1500 dollar mansion by itself…

we built up to 6500 in tunica..

I can’t believe tunica Mississippi has max bet 250 dollar slot machines like the one here-this goes up to a 1 dollar denomination and max bet on 1 dollar is 250 dollars..

I know what to do now not cut the rectangular piece but clip the door latch that is bolted to the door jam I guess-I got to get the door off first to see what to do…

I’m still waiting for 80s weather so I still got time to paint-my activator is for 80s..

These half quarter panels was replaced long ago… and that thick bondo wasn’t me but it’s gonna have to do.. it’s so hard to replace the driver door and quarter panels because it’s a sign of a SE..

Well the s79 steering wheel was the last for now on my dads dime-my dad froze all his credit cards and told me he wants the car put together with what I have now before anything else is bought with his dime.. I did slow down a lot and he liked that but he told me the house is becoming a wreck and he’s got taxes and bills to pay and wants to build up money…
he does like the s79 steering wheel but he said the house is becoming a hoarders house… he wants to get this car painted so we can start getting all this stuff out of the house…. And he wants a deep clean on the house to get it back to where it was…
he’s living on cash for now… he said I can use my money to buy things but he told me not to go broke.. but the good news is we’re going to tunica Friday morning for the jackpot party that night..

I hope your not planning on painting/dying that S79 steering wheel.
That's not an easy color to find, much less on a low option wheel.
No it won’t be painted at all… ive learned tan is hard to find-been trying to find a horn button for 2 or so years..

It’s not pitted it’s just flaking so that’s better than pits. The tan is really in good driver quality.. the wood grain is dark wood grain and it doesn’t have a crack in it but it does have some imperfections..

The one without the partial horn ring was my earlier want of having tan interior with military tan-I was wanting to go tan interior but I found out how hard it is to find tan interior… and then when I found the special edition door panels pop up after I found green paint on the car I changed my mind… I won’t ever paint this color because I’ve learn just how hard it is to find tan parts…

I’ve got 184 dollars in these taxes and shipping included here and it’s got the 70 only tab-they need to be cleaned up…

I bought these separately.. thr big vent came in a bundle with a rallye bezel and speaker switch for 155 dollars so I count the ac vent as free… I bought the AC vent with the tab for 165 dollars so I can have a matching set…

I saw a rare tan ac vent with the tab broke with no knob pop up for 250 dollars without the other ac vent-it sold quick.. i checked by recently viewed but it’s not there anymore it’s probably page 10… it can only go to page 7 in recently viewed..

And I know take the knob out by taking the piece behind it out first and then straighten it-don’t tug on it because it will brake the rare unbroken tab…

It’s to old to look at the original listing but it does say their AC heater bezel-the big vent unbroken came in that with a rallye dash bezel unbroken and speaker switch so I count the AC bezel as free..
and my bad not 175 but 184 total I got in the AC vents in both…

Here’s my real green bezels that will go on the car they’re 71-74… thr black ones-what sucks is the parts numbers don’t match I don’t think… I got almost all real green interior from seat belts to ac vents to panels… I did buy the green dash awhile ago but it didn’t go through I thought it went through but I found a email a month later saying that my account hadn’t been charged…

T5 tan interior parts are very difficult to find.
E8 green has to be the third hardest to find.
E5 red is the most difficult.

If you ever see an original dash, red, tan or green you had better just buy it.
I've been searching for years for any of those colors on a dash. AC or not. Anything. Have not found anything except cracked and messed up dashes.

I have successfully put together a red interior with reproduction parts.
There is no reproduction green or tan.
Tan is my second favorite interior color. Red being my favorite.

That is a beautiful steering wheel. Both really but that S78 is awesome!

I’ve seen a real tan in pretty good shape console not a 4 speed but a automatic.. I’ve seen green dashes but they have been all cracked heat fade…
it was a time where dash repops was on eBay about a year ago that had green but of course my mind was occupied on something else because I thought they would pop up in a few months well they haven’t pop up in 1 and half… most all dashes I’ve seen is repops redone or cracked-I see way less colors outside of black.. black seems to have been the most produced plastic pieces back in those days…

i didn’t know they don’t repop em- I’ve seen red door panels tan door panels…

a lot of people don’t show Mopar parts numbers on things for sale so I guessed those door panels was repops but could’ve been real.. I’ve seen a red console.. and also they’re many parts that I’ve seen painted or dyed I’d guess so it’s so hard to tell what is what because a lot of people don’t express the full information… I just learned that all the seat hinge bezels are metal-I’ve been wasting my time for along time I even ignored one deal that was 100 dollars for all 4 1970 only seat hinge covers because I didn’t feel the hinges one was bent on the seat I got and I still don’t have the driver side…
those green seats I bought awhile back thats posted on for b bodies for a 1000 dollars we was going to buy them but the shipping was going to be 600 or 800 dollars because the guy lived far away up west and was going to box them up in 6 boxes plus taxes ontop of the 1000 was 1100 and they wasnt the usual seat pattern they was cloth … I’ve seen a few red tan and green consoles that are cracked…
I feel bad for what I’m going to do to my real green console- I’m going to cut it to make a 4 speed for the pistol grip shifter… I’ve seen a bunch of black 4 speed consoles and usually the ones that have a picture showing the stamped manual Mopar are expensive.. I’ve seen a few colors that was 4 speed consoles but nobody usually shows the manual Mopar code on the plastic and they seem to cheap so I think they have been cut…
I’ve never seen a different color than black for the cassette player trim piece-it’s a dream to find a real green cassette player dash trim piece or other color in my price range I don’t care if it’s blue or red or tan I’ll put it with the green interior if I found one…
