Street Cruser
The grill parts are painted, polished and installed.
Like I have done on other vehicles that I own, I like to make minor customization mods.
I still have all of the OE 68 Barracuda grill and head lamp surround parts, and in doing this conversion none of the OE grill or lamp surround mounting points were modified, so the OE grill and surrounds could be reinstalled easily. That was one of the goals of this project, to be able to take it back to OE if desired. It would not be insurmountable to restore the 67 Dodge Cornet grill back to useable condition in a B body.
Have one more big item to get done, The ring and pinion in the 8.75 is an original Mopar unit. Probably has lot of miles on it and it is just noisy, has a whine.
I have a new 3:55 gear set, minor install kit and a gasket set on order from Dr Diff.
That is next weeks project.
