Hi Guys,

I've been off the site for a while, moving to a better house with a bigger shed to work in. pic attached.

I have freshened up my 440 and its almost ready to drop in. I haven't decided if i will go 1050 Dominator or 6 pack setup yet....

Well i have a much needed cash injection into my fastback.
Today i purchased a Strange S60 Dana rear assembly, Hooker fenderwell headers. These will take 8-12 weeks to get here to Australia.( its gonna be a long wait)
I also just purchased a Mopar M1 race intake to suit my dominator and lots of smaller parts that are on my massive list.
Speaking to Cass at Dr diff about rear disc brake kit for the S60 and planning my exhaust build. I want that classic 60's note, so i will go 2.5" system. when i go to the track, i can just run it through the headers.
will update pics as the parts start arriving.

So I've been hard at it lately, trying to get the cuda on the road by September. I had a go at installing my first hoodliner and used resto rick's tips on how to do it. I removed front and rear screens as I wanted to replace the rubbers anyway. I was nervous doing the rear but managed to get it out with any problems.

There are still a few wrinkles I'm the corners, but hopefully they come out in a few days.
It took me about 7 hours to do in tota. Waiting for a new front screen so should be all back together next week.
 
My hurst super comp shifter arrived. Trial fitted it up to my 23 spline, awaiting my 18 spline. Omg it looks soooo awesome.

The m1 arrived and some other goodies. Don't think it will fit under the hood. :( might have to run a torker with a 750 for now until I can get a hemi hood.

Also decided to remove the cast crank and go with a good steel crank. I've also upgraded to arp main bolts, clevite 77 bearings and installed a new pilot bush.

I ended up getting a torker 440 manifold so it will fit under the hood, then sandblasted and painted my rocker covers. I had a set of alloy tig welded aftermarket ones in black, but I think the original ones look better.

Just noticed that your dog matches your Barracuda...is the Dog an American bull Dog?
