I am starting work on my 69 super bee that I pulled from a field over three years ago. I had another project I had to finish first. I'm pretty sure that you guys wouldn't mind if I posted pics and stuff here online.
But would anyone here like video. I am going to attempt to video and post to YouTube. I'm no professional, but I have thought it to be easier than sending emails to my family members that are interested in the progress. Just send out the link, or people can subscribe.
I am not in it to make money, I have a full time job, but maybe my stuff can help others.
I can post links to my channel if Troy is ok with it.

Until then, here is said super bee as of today. And how I came about it.
Here is the story on how I got the Bee and other cars.

So far I don't have a lot of money to throw at it so it will be a budget type build. I will be doing everything myself, that I can, so not a factory type job and not a pro touring car.

Video is being made. It goes into better detail about rust issues. And it does have them.

I just thought of something, I know where there's a 1973 Plymouth fury 3 With a about 88k on the odometer and it has a 400 under the hood. I offered the guy 300 bucks but that was before I found these cars. I bet he still has it. Was his moms. Back window area was rusted bad. But motor was there. Ran last in early 2000. Might need to pay him a visit next week.
I wouldn't have the money to stroke it but it will do for now, until I can.

I watched the video, and it was a good job. Better than some "more experienced" video bloggers on youtube.
I for one would keep the car white, as there couldn't have been many white cars back in the day. That, and I like white!  :yesnod:

You are correct about the white cars. I have it registered on the super bee registers and it seems pretty uncommon color and options.

Yep, the one I had in the late 70's was white, red gut, Tomato Red Bee stripe, thats why I would LOVE to have a Bee like the one you have.

I've been doing some work on the car. Removed the engine wiring harness and forward light harness to clean up and fix issues. But now I must put the car on hold. I have a 69 road runner that I had sold but the guy backed out. So now I need to list it and try to sell it. Hopefully I can sell it during this virus outbreak. It will also help fund this car
The car is in the thread I posted above.

I sold the Roadrunner. But I'm now debating selling this super bee. My charger needs an upgrade. I'm wanting to do A/C, overdrive, and maybe a modern hemi swap. Just not sure yet.
