Now that's a rare "Mopar" :burnout:

Interior is done and ready for pick up. Door panels underway today. Dash getting buttoned up. Column back in and re-wire battery and gauges. Radio wired. Once rolling to shop for custom wheel fitting and alignment. Then to have a custom trunk surround put in to house two 10 inch subs. So close.

Dave,

Need to get some blue bulbs in there now!

 

[Dartn440]

Was so concerned about valve cover clearance for master cylinder that I never thought about issues with blower motor. Well, I fit a stocker on there so a chrome stocker it will be!

 

[Dartn440]

I figured I would say hello roller rockers while I was addressing my screw up.

 

[Dartn440]

Almost got wood as the front is going together...

 

[Dartn440]

Anyone know where to get correct nuts to hold wiper motor to firewall?

 

[Dartn440]

Column and dash put back together. Tach needs installed then interior finished out.

 

[Dartn440]

Full fiberglass front and rear bumpers sanded and prepped for paint. Test fit rear lights and installed new seals. Ordered chin spoiler from Triggerman.

Fiberglass bumpers? How come? Hard to find? Weight?

I have the originals and they are practically mint. I picked these up here on FABO to drop weight on the car.

@ limegreen. Not going to lie, eBay and China. Cost was 1/4 of what an OEM would go. Cheap enough that if they looked like *** I could toss em. They are heavy and enameled metal. I got matching with sticky backs for trunk lid. These mount with a nut/bolt and cross tab so I can easily remove.

 

[Dartn440]

Sand, prep, assemble and test fit rear bumper assembly. Weighs like 10 pounds. My buddy fabricated a drip mold that turned out cool as hell.

 

[Dartn440]

Will paint it satin black to match other pieces on car.
