Not an A body but I allways wanted a T/A
Thanks for all the great feedback. I would haved loved to buy a RT six speed but the budget just wasn't there. Besides it would have left the project budget dry. Small block wanted a little more info so here goes.
Like I said I bought a plane jane SE. Then I added tinted windows, fog lights, chrome gas door and Gowing from Mopar. Next up I bought a T/A stripe off Ebay but I understand that there is a vendor on this site that can do the same, I just didn,t know that at the time. Please support the venders on this site. So the 70 T/As had the exhaust coming out in front of the rear wheels and that is what I wanted to do. But it is not doable as the fuel tank is located in front of the rear wheels ( it is doable but very costly as you would have to have heat shields over the exhaust). So I cut a hole in the lower valance behind the rear wheels and had dual exhaust installed. Sounds pretty nice, not a 6 cylinder sound. You can see the pipes if you look close behind the rear wheels.
Then I added the Boss wheels and the hood. The hood is a Mopar piece and is a steel hood with the scoop. Next i painted the hood black with a flatting agent in the clear. The real question was was I going to paint the header panel in front of the hood to make it look right. As you can see I did. Must be crazy to cut and paint on a brand new car. All in all I have spent about $2,500 more on the car to get to this stage. I saved a lot of dough being able to do all the work myself. I still need to add the rear window louvers that I have and lower it a little.
Again thaks for the feedback. Not all of it is postive but I like that also. This is not everyones car. I am very happy with the way it turned out and sometimes we just like to brag on ourselves.
