I have a 68 coupe, see pic below, and I am putting a 496, 4 speed with a Dana 60 rear. Either way you do it you've got a very nice ride.
Good job!!!

The car is mini tubbed using the stock wheelhousings, and the springs have been relocated 3 inches inboard.
Also the rear wheel openings have been massaged 1.5 inches on the forward arch for big drag tire clearance so it does not have the cramped look, but still looks factory.
I have ss springs in the rear and was told it would make it sit 1.5 inches higher, and they were right.
I don't have any raising blocks or other mods other than what came with the spring relocation kit.
keep in mind there is no interior and the car as you see it is a rolling chassis with no weight bearing down on it yet.
Mullinax, I love your car as well.
Out of three color choices sublime, sassy grass, and hemi orange, i chose hemi orange because the car that inspired me when I was 16 y/o was hemi orange, and I promised my dad I would get one like that some day.

I hope I'm not hijacking this thread!

The bezels are not perfect and have some dings and scratches.
I hate to bolt them on like this but my budget is tight so I'm gonna have to play with what I have for now until I can afford to get them restored.
The header panel looks dented in the top pic, but it's just a smudge.

mullinax95 said:Hey cadaspaz I got my car out of DULUTH GA. Do you know George the previous owner of my car? I believe he mentioned something about your ride when I told him about being on FABO. He told me the car hadn't been painted but it was black right now and it was a 67 and it was located in GA. Maybe....Maybe not.
cudaspaz said:I don't know George but he may have heard about my car through the Mopar guy network, you know how that is.
cudaspaz said:Mullinax, I can't wait to see your car with the Pro stars on it.
That's a really great looking cuda!
