Welcome. create a forum in the members restoration and add pics! Everyone LOVES PICS!!!!

Im actually true Phoenician. Born and raised in South Phoenix. Great point! And I believe the same, if she wants it, likes it, helps build it. She will appreciate it WAY more..... Can't wait to see pictures....

Coming from the daughter in the daddy daughter restore. Please keep an open mind to what SHE wants in the car. If SHE doesn't want all original, be open to the idea and not shut her down immediately. When my dad and I started our project, I was 10 years old. We built it together, slowly...

So I have disc brakes in the front already, now I want disk in the rear. I want to move the battery box to the trunk. I'm currently looking into materials for the interior. I am custom making the center console because my car has the A/C vents under dash and I want to change the look of it...

Nice! Thanks for sharing that information and the pictures. Its awesome to see that others who "step outside of the box" when it comes to restoring cars.

Thanks for the idea, as far as how much "fabbing" lol, we will do what we have to do. I was thinking of something out of a newer magnum, charger, 300? When it gets to that, I will put the seats and console from my magnum, JUST TO SEE, how it looks and fits. If I like then I will buy from...

Here are the before and after of the passenger side header. If you can tell what was done.

So far we had to customize the NEW headers in order to fit the passenger side, had to notch out the K member for the front sump oil pan. Make brackets for the motor mounts and the tranny mount. I am a firm believer in not cutting or welding on the body or actual frame. (the k member I can...
