    SCORE!!!:cheers: My 340 was delivered to my driveway! Actually, my friend Syl scored this mill from another guy and passed it on to me for a very nice price. 1972 virgin 340 block with J-heads. All cylinders cleaned up very nice with only a small lip at the tops.

    Thanks! Also, LOVE your cat pic! Actually, the "graveyard" you see the Demon in belongs to me and an old friend. The earlier shot from the truck is at Stephens Performance in north Alabama... http://www.stephensperformance.com/ I'll add a few shots of my graveyard...

    Thanks guys for the remarks! Also, Jim, this is a link to the site that I built my rotisserie from: http://www.mts.net/~hpokrant/Restoration_Tips/1-Rotisserie/Rotisserie.htm As for the DP on POR-15 feathered edges, I did not notice any problems with the paint leveling out. As with any paint...

    I got the call!....Stephens Performance called and the AMD full qtr panel is in! I jump in the truck and head to the Alabama line. The first pic is a quick snap of his massive Mopar Graveyard! I would have stopped and taken a few more pix BUT, there were several tornado watches developing so I...

    Well, wheel wells need to be wider! Again, since my quarter panel is in transit, the wait has caused the mind to wander...Since the filler panel is off, access to the tubs is greatly increased. This is really not that difficult, just pay attention and move at a slow pace.

    Once the filler panel was cut out, my plans have changed again!.... Since I have so much access to the trunk area, why not mini-tub? Let's do it!

    Now it's on to the filler panel. I hate to see a '70 dart chopped up BUT this donor hailed from Boston until about 10 years ago. It made the move to south Memphis from which I found it on Craigslist. The entire bottom was rusted beyond belief! Even the torsion bar cross frame had rusted out...

    More metal prepping, POR-15'ing and priming.

    1971 Dart 340 Six Pack

    Ahhh....straightening quarter panels! The upper body molding holes were previously welded shut...the rocker molding holes were just bondoed. Also, note the few small low spots where the green paint remains. Not bad BUT the area above the wheel opening has been slightly dented, of which will...

    It on to the engine bay! Down to the metal and then a few coats of DP-40. No rust damage at the battery tray area...nice!...a little POR-15 wont hurt.
