Hey! I am up in Salt Lake. I am very interested in almost everything you have... haha. I would love to grab the grill, fender extensions (FOR SURE) and possibly the hood. Any chance you have a good bumper with brackets and front valance? Looking for any parts to trade? I have a lot and could...

Working on installing Hurst 4 speed shifter. Had to cut floor panel in order to fit new shifter. Ordered an AMD 4 speed hump and will install once arrives. Rear end is almost 100% complete. Need to insert some spacers on the anti-sway bar to give adequate clearance.

Buttoning up the rear end. Installed the sway bars. Primed and pained everything. Installed Hotchkis adjustable shocks. Installed the new Milodon low profile oil pan. Dropped engine in. Installed Mcleod flywheel and Mcleod clutch.

Finished the front mounts. I cut out and welded on some sheet metal for appearance reasons. It will help structurally as well but we have plenty of strength as of now. The C channel used for the front mount is wider than the frame I have available to work with so It hangs down about 1/2 inch...

Started building the frame for the new fuel cell. It is going to be a tight squeeze between the leaf springs but will look incredible once done. The front mounts for the leaf spring relocation are getting some arms that will be bolted to the car through the floor. This will give even more...

Haha thank you! If my garage didn't have a space heater i'd just let the thing collect dust. As much as I love mopars, that concrete is cold in the winter!

A lot to look at but if you look closely you can now see where the leaf springs are mounted on the insides of the frame rather than the outer side. Now I just need to build a support frame for the fuel cell and mount that.

Finally finished the relocation of the rear leaf springs. Very lengthy and tedious process but now I have much more wheel clearance and the frame is much stronger. I Added about two feet of 4''x2'' 1/8" thick angle iron to the frame in the very back on both the driver and passenger side. You can...

Fabricating new brackets to relocate leaf springs inwards to allow more wheel clearance. Lot more fabricating to go. Cleaned the underhood. Welded a few bolt holes closed that won't be used any longer. Painted. Ready to drop the 340 in.

Finished welding sheet metal to trunk in order to make room for fuel cell below. Patched some rusted through spots while I was at it. This won't be a show car just something that looks halfway decent but drives and handles like a dream. Removed the old 7 1/4 rear differential to make room for...

Removed the gas tank and cut out the rusty spare tire drum in the trunk. Will be adding new support, sheet metal and installing a 20 Gallon fuel cell so we can make enough room for the leaf springs to be relocated to the inner side of the frame. This will allow us to fit some fatter wheels back...

Finally Pulled the 225 CI Slant six out of the car. got to work with cleaning the engine bay and getting it ready for new paint. I will have to cut some rust out in some areas but most of it will come off with the wire wheel.

Exactly. You just watch as you pour and stop when you need to. If you over pour a little you just take a die grinder and grind it down to match the other exhaust ports.

I have a lot of work ahead of me. About to become best friends with my ginder, wire wheel attachment on my drill, plasma torch and wire feed welder. The oil pan is painted and ready to go.

Here are some more photos of the melted down piston in the crossover port. We took a iron plate and bolted it to the side of the head that meshes with the intake manifold and then we lay it on that end and pour the molten aluminum into the exhaust port up to the chamber so that it matches the...
