Awesome build! I really like the dash and console.

That's the same trans jack I use. Really helps doesn't it? Last time I did a Turbo 350 it jumped on the dowel pins by itself! Harbor Freight...

Ya know, lead makes a GREAT seam sealer and is quite heavy. Once you paint it, nobody knows... hint hint.

So here I am with this pretty motor. Really proud of myself and talking to my MoPar buddy Brian. He comes over to take a look and says, "We have to at least pull a head off of it. I have a bad feeling. Look, do it for my peace of mind. I will pay for the head gaskets if we find nothing wrong!"...

Oh, I found some of the Torker intake. Ended up selling it on Ebay.

Next I sanded the chrome off my 80's Direct Connection valvecovers and painted them Hammertone silver. I don't know where the finished pictures went. But I did the intake as well and it looked great. That paint is VERY durable.

So, with the motor out and on a stand I could cleanup the engine compartment, especially that nasty firewall! I did not listen to my gut instinct, and instead of tearing the motor down to check everything, I cleaned it and painted it.

So I had a friend come over and he figured we could notch the frame and reinforce it and the starter would have plenty of room. That worked out fine. Had to pull the motor to do it and decided to freshen it up while it was out even though it only had 50 passes on it it had been sitting for many...

Now here is where everything got shitty for me. I paid the guy nearly $4000 for this job. 1/3 up front, 1/3 after 90 days and then... it sat at his shop for 3 and a half YEARS!!! He had 2/3 of the money and lost all motivation to finish the job. This is what happens when you let "friends" work...

We went with tubular upper control arms with zerk fittings.

Then rails were fabricated close to engine so headers could mount outside of frame and still run a decent sized front tire.

So it went into the shop and man it got hacked up! Out came the /6 k-frame, the front rails were chopped off at the firewall, inner fenders lost vertical portions and rad support lower gone.

This is the engine that was getting swapped into it. BUT I let it sit with open headers (and an open exhaust valve!) and water ate one of the bores and the seat out of the head . The bearings in this thing were PERFECT as it only has 50 passes on it and no street miles. Oh well. So since it was...

So that was how the car sat with 295/50/15 on 15x10 Welds. Should have left it alone! What a great daily driver. Had it up to 115mph one night when I told my buddy the /6 was too weak to even break a hundred and he said 'Wanna bet! Floor it right now." He was right lol.

The /6 six with a quarter million miles on it got pulled out and dumped outside next to the shop. What a greasy, nasty mess it was. 2 days later some guy in a white D100 van pulled up and yelled, "Hey! Y'all wanna set that 6?" So he hauled it off for $200. FREE DUSTER now since that what I paid...

I had to wait until it got approved. Now I can do it. :)

I took a wrong turn on the way home from the bank on payday in 1994. It was backed into a driveway with a piece of cardboard covering the windshield that read: "$200". I stopped and banged on the door of the house but nobody was home. So I took the sign. LOL. Kept calling them and came back and...

That F'ing AWESOME!!!!

It's a '68 Charger for sale. I think the restorer got a little confused. http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/cto/2161416520.html :toothy10:
