yes i'm running them, they dont fit under the hood so im cutting out two holes for the air cleaners to pop up through. something a little different
 
long rams are sweeet, and ive never thought of them in anything but early 60's mopars - but this looks great
 
Good looking dash/instrument panel. What are you using for upper control arms? I like that you kept the torsion bars.
 
nice day so we rolled her out. Worked on the front seats and mounting them and putting in a center council through to the back. Problems with the center council you can tell in the straight on pictures how the tunnel is off set so gotta figure what im doing there. in the works...

I want to see more of this project.Thats the first chrome plated 8.75 ive ever seen,i love it.You are doing some awsome work,keep it up!
 
Are the SFC's in the car? If so is there any chance of getting a pic? (I know that would be a pain with the car on the ground) Did you have to cut the floor or are they made to clear it.
Nice to see you've made the leap from Lat-G.
Great looking project! the green with the tan looks awsome.
 
Nice car, I like the cross rams! I have a pair of super nice long rams, always wanted to put them in a newer car! Do they fit ok? It looks like you notched the one inner fender a bit, anything else in the way except the hood? Awesome car, keep sending pics!! 8)

we didnt have to cut anything, you can weld them in or bolt them in, ill get a pic later when i get out of work, but theres one pic above with the car on jacks, you can kind of see them. they're painted green.

ya we made one little notch just to play it safe for when the car is running and the motor has that little shake. other than that they fit fine, just have to make some room for the air cleaners which is why we're cutting the two holes. i think its going to look cool with them sticking out through the hood so when its time for the hood cutting ill post up pics of that.
 
Got the seats officially mounted and put the door actuators in, a lot of people were saying how the cables eventually stretch out so we got some little blocks machined out and tapped so we could use a rod to pull the door so we wont have to worry about them stretching

Thanks for that, I re-read the thread and realized that you'd mentioned earlier that they were magnum force so I felt like a dope after that.
I'd still like to see a shot of them installed if thats possible especially since no floor molestation is required to install them.
 
thats alright haha. heres the pics sorry it took a few days. they're a little dirty and covered in primor, got to get re-painted.
support bracket, only thing that comes up through

little update. cut the holes in the hood for the air cleaners, nothings bolted down just sitting on the carbs for looks.ones taller cuz we just had two different size carbs and cleaners to throw on. they look small in the pics but they're nice and beefy in person.
