Been neglecting her the past couple of months

Got back on it last weekend. Decided to get rid of the hump from the battery box on the driver side to have a smoother engine compartment since the battery will be in the trunk anyways.

Did some finish body work on inner fender today and shot with a little primer

In other news, also decided to go with a slightly built 392 Hemi and 8 speed transmission.

Local Hemi guru is putting it together for me with the goal of 520-525 HP to the wheels. He says it's easy to achieve. Going to swing by his shop tomorrow to see about getting a mockup engine and trans so that I can get the tunnel cut up and ready for the swap. Luckily, my neighbor is a race car fabricator who builds everything from custom headers to back half's to full tube chassis cars. He could do the tunnel work in his sleep.
