Looks like an awesome project! That engine looks good in there...

Well this weekend, it's going to be new intake gaskets, plugs and wires... Should be fun.

Thanks. Yeah I can't understand why someone would put so much time making a paint job look good, then they paint the bumpers. Maybe they were just too lazy to take them off...

Really haven't found many good ones up here. It's hard to find the old stuff. There is an ok one in Iva, SC. I got my spindles, caliper brackets and a lot of my other stuff from Parts Unlimited LLC. It's a Mopar boneyard in Danville, VA. Even with shipping, the price is pretty good. Still...

LOL, yeah guess that's why they used to call them panic brakes.

Yeah I have, it's way better with the discs. With the drums, felt like you had to stand on them to get it to stop. The car was way to heavy to have 9" drums all the way around... Only put discs on the front, but it makes a world of difference. The tires are 225 60 r15. That was as big as I...

Finished the front disc brakes... Got the other wheels and tires on. Finally got to burn some rubber today, feels good. :D

Yeah, I love the 73 body. Other than the front bumper sticks out a little far. Stupid govenment safety regulations. But I did find a way to remedy that. Anyway, good to see some other people from SC on here...

Well got the kickdown linkage perfect and she shifts like a dream. Thank you Transgo. Seems to be running great now. It feels good when hard work pays off. :burnout:

Well it's there, somebody cut on it some to install a radio though. It''s missing some of the pad looking trim. I will probably replace it, don't know if I have the money to do it now. Getting the trans right and everything else left me pretty broke... How much are you wanting for it?

I'm converting fronts to disc... I'm using spindles, porp. valve, and caliper brackets from a 73/74 duster. Everything else I'm just going to get new. Yep Greenville.

Yeah, I love the body style of the 73. Yeah someone sprayed the bay black before they put the motor in obviously. You can only see remnants of the old color. But I will be painting the whole car back to it's original color, it was light green metalic. Nice ride, I like that color. Was that...

Couple of my buddies rides, not his mopar but still sweet! His mopar was covered up, so I didn't get any pics of it. It's a 71 Challenger 440... The pics have a 69 Vette 427, 70 Chevelle 454, 70 F100 and his late 60's Harley. The Chevelle is what he is working on now, so the fenders and stuff...

Well transmission with transgo kit is in, trans cooler, new radiator put in, new trans cooler lines made, put in and all hooked up. Took some time to do it all that, keep running into snags. Have to hook up the kick down linkage and she will be ready to run again. Have a couple of crappy pics...

Thanks to TPI for the awesome torque converter. And Parts Unlimited LLC for the long list of items... Probably saved me a few hundred bucks. Tommy, you are the man! lol Should have the trans completely done by the end this week. Then on to the brakes....

Yeah the one that was in there didn't have a filter at all. So I put the Edelbrock one on it.

Looks like a fun project! I think that was the craziest looking body-style of all the Mopars! I'd hate to have to replace the back glass on one of those. lol

Thanks, I'll let you know Criscobath, when I do get rid of the draglites. Gotta wait and get up some more money to get my rallys and some tires. Spent a $1000 this week on parts alone, for the trans and to do the brakes. Probably let'em go pretty cheap though.

Got TPI to start bulding my torque converter today, trans is tore apart and found some kick down linkage for it... So should be about a week before that's done. Then it will be time to start on the brakes. Changing the fronts to disc, has the small 9" drums on front now... Good ole panic brakes.

Nice looking ride, looks super clean. Getting harder to find them in that kind of shape.

Yeah, I actually planned on putting some Mopar rallys on it. Don't like the drag lites on it. Pulled the trans out yesterday... Going to rebuild it and put a transgo shift kit in it. Found out it needs a new torque converter and trans cooling lines. Plus it has no kick down linkage at all...

Got the paint off the bumpers and it looks so much better... Can't stand painted bumpers. Pics are taken as it was getting dark but you can see it looks better.

Couple more pics

This will be my first Mopar project. Bought this car from a lawyer, he took it as collateral for his services. The guy never was able to pay.... The guy was turning it into a strip car, but I'm going to remedy that. The body on this car is about as solid as you can find one unrestored. It...
