Denny's car is well over 90% done under the hood with the A/C
plumbing, distributor & wires, alternator and belts etc. finished
and a few other minor details to attend to.

Got some close-ups of the front suspension with the coil-overs
on that also show the sway bar etc. The front brake rotors are
over at the fabricators having some decorative slotting applied.

Last but not least tonight.....I have been working all week to get
some of Denny's wheels and tires wrangled around.
Put the 205's on the front Cragars (rear Cragars have the 315/60-15
BFG Drag Radials on them).
Got another set of 205's for the front TT's and the new 15x8.5 TT's are
here (still need tires for those rears).
Having Bout paint the 15x8 rear steelies in body color for the giant
315/60-15 M/T drag radials that are sitting here.
......and finally got the Fenton Gyro's mounted with yet a 3rd new set
of 205's for running up front of the steelies.

Speaking of Weeb; It's the "Year of the Duster" at the Nat's so some
house cleaning was in order.
I understand that as of tonight there is nothing ahead of the firewall
except the front wheels and most of the engine. No grill or fenders!
The exhaust system is M.I.A. as well.
Coming back freshened up with different wheels and hood as well as
other miscellaneous accents.
Something about "Whomping that orange one again".

Im speechless!! And beyond excited...Denny you and your clan are amazing!!!!
Time for some updates tonight and first is to Floyd from
Texas as Denny has pulled the Hemi from the A-body mock-up
and has a 440 4-speed combo inserted with Schumaker mounts
and the new TTi big-block A-body headers for Floyd's Swinger.
These headers are definitaly the Hot Ticket for B-motored A-bodies!

Keep me in the loop about the headers on the 440. Maybe TTI's will fit better than Tri-Y's from Schumacher? Mine is scheduled to be automatic, air, power brakes.......

Once everything gets installed on the Swinger ill post as many pics as I can. What power brake setup do you plan to use? Living in eastern NM i want AC but am unsure as of yet, the older i get the more creature comforts I want. One thing i can guarantee is that next year I will make it to the NATS in the car so you guys can see it installed first hand. Im truly blessed for such a great group of guys!

"Listen Weeb. Mark's getting older, tired and is easily disoriented
or distracted. I say we ditch the 1-2-3 and go to a 5 count. He'll nod
off and we'll collect the cheese before he knows what hit him........"
