I am in Mississippi; unfortunately, the car is stuck in quarantine at the shop, Hot Rod Chassis and Cycle in Chicago. It was not completely finished when it went to SEMA in November, and still needs to go back to the upholstery shop and paint shop for some final details. Neither of those shops...

Yeah, I looked at everything out there, and saw various disadvantages (or what I perceived as disadvantages) in all of them. I know a few people who have the Street Lynx setup and are pleased with it; that probably would have been my choice if I had not elected to go the IRS route. I had no...

Thanks! It's way beyond my skill level; I just wrote the checks. Yours sounds like fun! What are your suspension plans?

I'm still getting used to this after 40+ years of looking at a 340.

I never liked the appearance of the stock dash, so we started over. Ironically, this will be the first vehicle I have owned with a back-up camera.

Thanks! I like yours too! Details on mine: Aluminum 433 c.i. 3rd gen Hemi with Hilborn injection, dry sump oil system, Tremec 6-speed with PPG sequential shift conversion, full frame with cage, independent rear suspension with Hammerhead center section and differential cooler, Detroit Speed...

Well, I just saw a notification from this thread, and realized that I posted a progress photo in April 2017, and nothing since then. Here's a picture from SEMA last year.

I'm going with the AAR style scoop on my '65. If you like that style, the entire hood is available from VFN Fiberglass in either pin-on (13 pounds, $475) or bolt-on hinged type (23 pounds, $595).

Nice! My '66 was not even in the same league as yours, so I decided in 1977 that it was time to yank the 340 and drop it into a '65 Barracuda. If mine had looked anywhere near as good as yours, I would probably still be driving it.

I think it should be the same as my '65 Barracuda. Remove the bezel around the ignition switch first; this can be done by expanding the tips of needle-nose pliers against the two slots in the bezel and unscrewing it. After removing the four screws that hold the panel in place, it's just a...

Nice job!

Aha! I found it! I cut and pasted the instructions below: I thought I would take this chance to explain how PMs now work. First, PMs are now called "Conversations" - How to send someone a private message There are 2 ways to send another member a PM. First, if you hover over INBOX on the...

Ha! I don't either! Let me see if I can figure it out; I think it is actually called a private conversation on this site. I have been involved in several of those, but I have never initiated one.

I will check with UPS, but they want your name, address, and phone number; can you send me a PM with that info?

Well, I have bad news all around. They sold my driveshaft and had not told me. I had checked on shipping for the shifter yesterday via FedEx because UPS requires so much detail to provide a quote, and the lowest FedEx rate estimate was almost $70. That would probably go down some with more...

I meant to mention that you might not even need to shorten the driveshaft (if they still have it at the shop!) The length was just right for my '65 with the 789 8.75 rear and the 727. I did find a couple of other shafts out in the garage, but neither of them have the trans yoke attached. One...

Sorry--I am still waiting to hear back from the shop where the parts are to see if they still have the driveshaft. Moving my old parts obviously isn't their top priority! It's frustrating; wish I would have taken everything off before I sent the car there. I will bug them tomorrow--I...

I'm leaning that way!

Yeah, it should be fun--if it's finished before I'm too old to drive it. Wheels in the rendering are American Racing. They will be either those or Forgelines; looking at 10 inch front and 10 to 12 rear.

..and here's what it looks like this week.
