    No thanks, lol as "baby" as it may be it was still entirely new to me the other night. A baby platypus is still a platypus on any level.
  • Very nice platypus analogy lol. What kind of wheels are on your rat sedan? Lookin good!

    HAHA Thank you. They are a set of custom order Bassett Racing Wheels. Like what would be found on a NASCAR racing car, only miniature.
    I actually distribute these, and have worked with Bassett to bring them to the streets. We have sold about 24 sets in the past month, (3 sets just yesterday). This is a fantastic alternative to the cheesy Chinese Diamond wheels (yes, Diamond are made in China) that are so strongly associated with the import car world's steel wheel "game". These are 100% made in the US, in Wisconsin.

    Finally!! I've never had the chance to shoot rollers of one of my own vehicles..
    It feels good to have captured the '87 RT on the move.

  • So fresh and so clean!
  • ChaifeChaife Instagram grand master
    I haven't torn it down to confirm.. But I'm 90% sure she bent a valve or 2.
  • NobiZeroNobiZero New Wagonist
    I was gonna say, those plugs look like you've got some oil consumption issues. Could be valve seals or piston rings. Good luck man, keep that awesome 3rd gen going!
  • FrankzFrankz Band Wagon
    Just went through the entire thread, breath taking truly, wonderful work my brother.:encouragement:
  • ChaifeChaife Instagram grand master
    Thanks brother.! The little blue 3rd Gen turned 190,000 yesterday.
    That means I've put nearly 8,000 miles on it in the last 5-6 years. I donno, I never keep track of all this stuff..

    Nice! More pics!

    I haven't had much free time to play lately. But the timing had jumped on the '87 RT wagon due to a little squirrel that was seeking refuge under the cam gear on the engine. I fired the motor not knowing I had a guest. After some clunking noises passed. The damage was done. He got wedged under the timing belt. A mess was made, both internally and externally. I've not had much time to update or tend to the car. Maybe with summer coming that changes.
  • Ewwwwwww! That sucks

    +1 to this. I want to see it!

    On the other hand I thought that white wagon would look like a refrigerator. BUT your wagon is super sexy, you sir have done a very very good job on it.

    I hope the engine makes a swift comeback!
  • You dudes are sick. I do not want to see that, ever!
