Almost there, the chassis’s back, the engine goes to paint this week. The driveline should be in the chassis complete next week.

Glad to see progress made.
Seems like most updates for build like this are more like "stopped by the shop and the only difference was more dust on the car and another invoice to pay".

Chassis by the Roaster Shop, heavily modified by my friends at South City Rod & Custom.
I wish I had half my money
I can't help but notice the brake rotors on a blanket but the engine / trans sitting on the (sheet metal) oil pan. Work with me people!
The oil pan is rear sump and is being replaced with a center dump version which is not in the picture.
whewwwww.....I thought we were gonna have to have a meeting.
Here are the final set of chassis/driveline pictures. Denny, please note the unencumbered painted oil pan. I should get the painted body back in mid November.

That car is going to be a work of art. And wow, what a great shop. Do you do this for a living?
Nope, I write checks, SoCity does the work.

Nothin wrong with that! They're doing a killer job.
Getting into the interior lately. Interior will b e a little different, I'm going to have cloth seat inserts.
I like cloth inserts, much better for comfort IMHO, and wear a little better too.

Got color on the car at last
Here is a late post while the paint gets sorted out (long sad story). While we wait the upholstery work continues. Here are two pictures of my 3D printed dash. The one. with the 3 holes is the top of he dash, the holes are for the master cylinder fill. The recess gets covered with a grill and the top gets upholstered. The longitudinal slots are the defroster vents.
I got time....and a few of my own paint stories.

We ordered the driveshaft from a shop that specialized in MOPAR shafts. I’ll get the info to you next week.
Denny, I believe this is who we used for the driveshaft. I'll verify this Monday and get back to you.

thanks, looks like it is Dennys Driveshaft, that is where I got the aluminum driveshaft I have in my silver Hemi Duster.
