Welcome home, thank you for what you do that helps keep our country and old fs like me safe.
Alright, back to the build...

@challengergary sent me the stripe kit for side and tail panel with a 360 call out.
12 more days of quarantine and I can get my *** back in gear and try to be normal.

Man I like the way the grill turned out. Bumpers getting some bodywork before paint. Test fender for the metal flake treatment getting prepped. Little 360 on the way to a test fire.

Package fairy arrived...hood pin kit. Because I guarantee the wifey doesn’t drive slooooow.

Under the hood. AC installed. Anyone have a pic of hood pin placement on a 73 hood?

pretty in pink!

Could you please share rear wheel backspace? Also are the wheels 15×10 or 15x8? I really want to know since I have a dart sport with same rear end. Thanks in advance!

I can tell you those are not stock ralleye wheels. Just drove out of town for a few weeks but I can dig into it for you when I get home!

Quick spray on a spare fender and some metallic flake. I dig it so she is getting a coat!!

Nice, what brand paint?

Dartn440 · Aug 20, 2020

That was a custom Flake I ordered on line mixed in with DuPont clear over base coat. I’d have to go back and see who made that

Dartn440 · Aug 29, 2020

Time for a wet sand and another coat of clear to make it silky smooth....

Now for the detail stuff. Looking for a matching passenger mirror versus just getting all new. Need one rear tail panel emblem.

I really liked the black on the hood with the 6 pack scoop!

Going to look great in the sun.

Finally getting this together. 1967 440. To the run stand once new valve covers installed.

Looks like you found an intake....lol. I tried another one for you 2 or 3 weeks ago, and missed it by 2 minutes! :BangHead:

Looks good.....hope it runs as good as it looks!

She ought to be a nice motor for someone. Maybe someone looking for a 67 motor for an old Belvedere or Coronet.

Duster is wired, lights work, seatbelts in....

Dartn440 · Oct 12, 2020

You wait til you see the daily driver I am picking up to stop putting mile on my truck.....

Well the Diplomat daily ended up being out of the price point I was comfortable with...so there is that.
Progress!

Digging the side molding

Ok. Need a set of trim rings for a 15 inch rim for the back. She is done. Hot heat, cold AC. Shifts snappy enough to make your neck hurt. Waiting on new emblems.
