Had some time, so went for breakfast with the family, did a little cruising, and ran some errands, rinsed her off and got some fuel. Here she is at the local petrol store. Ohh - and had to knock the crust of the tires

This is back on the market, couple of item changes: I noticed I said 650, really its an Holley Ultra HP 750. Also, the wiring I moved into the passenger side, removed the heater box and placed it all there. While I was moving everything, I set everything to toggles red/green toggles (Fuel, Water Pump, Fans, Nitours, and Nitrous Bottle warmer).

I installed the Nitrous with a purge kit and NOS bottle warmer, and full bottle (not ran yet). I re-programmed the MSD Digital 6AL-2 for the retard to the microswitch. Once I get more comfortable with everything, I will be testing it.
 
Well decided to drop the 727 and rebuild it. Right now its out and apart. ordered some Red Eagle disks and steels, a bolt-in sprag and had the convertor rebuilt at JW transmission, bringing it to 42/44K. Should have it back together with in the next week- week in a half.
 
Well, this is starting to sound like a resto-thread, sorry folks. Dropped the 727 and rebuilt it with Red Eagles/Kolene steels. Had the convertor re-built by JW's to a 4500K. removed the old finned trans cooler and installed a wiz-bang Derale electric cooler kit. While the 727 was out, bought some 440-200 TTI's and installed them too, seems I may be changing the exhaust too, TTI X 3" with possible Dynomax's.

Warmed the tires last night, had to make sure shifted through all the gears, no problems, tires didn't like it much
 
Finished all the items spoke about, 727 rebuild, updated convertor, 2" TTI's, TTI 3" exhaust X Pipe and Dynomax mufflers, couple of videos, anything specific, please let me know.

Whats the situation with the rear quarters over the wheels? Have they been patched or bondo'd? And was this a vinyl top car at one time?
 
Not sure if it was a vinyl top, but when they painted the white, they didnt do a great job on the seems, when the car flexed it started cracking the filler out.

I trimmed the fender areas when I mini-tubbed it, instead of leaving the raw metal, I primed those areas
 
Would you mind posing some more pics of your new headers installed? Wanting to see how you got them to fit and if any cutting was needed. Good luck with sale...
 
Charger426 - PM me, I can take some specific photos for you.

Attached are some up dated photos of the car
