    Thanks mopar_muscle! I saw you made your own bell housing! That's sweet! Any way what you need is a 360 fly wheel and pressure plate and just find a 10.5 inch camaro clutch disc.

    What have I gotten myself into?

    Yea looks like it, I think after paint it flys but that's i feel is the biggest step in the whole process, which most prob know but I was so relieved once paint was on the car.

    What have I gotten myself into?

    Yea they are pricey and rare to come by in good shape. That's cool just thought I'd throw it out there. Well it's looking sweet, but I understand how it sets out to do one thing and gets side tracked. I wish I had taken more time on some things but then again really wanted to be driving this...

    What have I gotten myself into?

    Well after looking through this resto gives me deja vu. When I started my build I envisioned almost all the same stuff. My problem definitely can't fab like that or the $$$ to pay someone to. But I just feel your car will be just small modern details which I love not over done but just right...

    Hemidenny just want to verify you are talking about Mopar nationals? If so I think I'll join in considering I live 15 mins away. And possible BBQ at my place one night. I live at Buckeye lake and should have enough Parkin for the Mopars

    Got most of brakes lines ran today, decided after a lot of research to go with the nicopper / nickel copper / cunnifer lines instead of stainless or steel. The copper look is growing on me, but they are awesome to work with. Got the BM line lock mounted, hydromax clutch resivoir mounted and the...
