The car got to see the sun for the first time in six months. Everything got moved outside for a little media blasting. Luckily we know someone local that had the equipment.

When he was done he wouldn't let me pay him. Said what I was teaching my son was a good thing. He just wants a ride when it is done.

The whole car received multiple coats of epoxy primer. Top, bottom, and in every hole. This thing should never rust.

Modified the lower part of the radiator support to make room for the bigger radiator. Extra cooling is always a plus.

Mounted the scope back on the hood and smoothed it back out.

We painted the mopar logo on the scope in the same plum crazy purple as the car will be painted. We went with the mopar brilliant black pearl for all the black on the car.

Mocked up the grill and adjusted the front end all up. Body panel alignment takes some time

Put the heart back in. Going in from the bottom is the only way to go. My son and I had it installed in no time. Never once did the engine touch fresh paint. And the headers are already on. Win win

Great work ! I like the bar set up for lifting the body up for the Eng./K frame / header install with the cherry picker.

Thanks just some two inch heavy walled square tube welded up and bolt to the front bumper holes in subframe.
I also built a dolly for the rear end that hangs in the leaf spring mounts that is fully adjustable for length and width.

We got the Some of the glass put in this weekend. My son Logan has decided glass is his least favorite part so far. LOL
