Crazy how life gets in the way from time to time. Still have the wagon, and still making slow progress. Got the Sears and headliner done and put...
Inching closer, headliner is in, the lights are wired, and the glass is all in. It’s at the frame shop now, getting an alignment done
It's 27" tall

[ATTACH] Done by B&J in Joliet Illinois on a home made press that he bought over 50 years ago second hand from the guy that made it.
I have to disagree, I have WC T-5 from a 89 Mustang and a 4.10 rear gear. The ratios are near perfect for my 218. 2500 RPM at 70 MPH and nice...
So after sitting for 3 years I threw a battery in it and cranked it over for 30 seconds twice with a minute breather in between. Third time it...
Time to dust this thread off. Picked it up from the body shop. I’m tickled...pink lol
All Chrysler wagons from 60 thru 64 were Hardtops as well
I'm going out on a limb here, but I think that in the 11 1/2 years since this was posted he probably hot it to California by now.
No, the diff is offset to the passenger side a bit, but I've had the car up to 80 MPH with no vibrations or issues. A Fox body Mustang driveshaft...

As to the trans adapter, the one I am referring to is a plate that adapts the back of the block to the Mopar A engine bolt pattern, granted you...
I am picking up the front half of a 21 Dodge Touring body and grille shell. I plan on building a low budget Lakes modified in the spirit of the...
That same adapter would let you run an AX-15 and Bellhousing from a V-6 or V-8 Dakota The AX 15 is a nice top shifter trans, and the best part is...
Eh, makes it look like a Packard to me
Restraint is the word that comes to mind. Frenched Headlights and antennas, shaved door handles usually clean up the look of the car, butthrowing...
Cars, the Charger, Dart and even the Durango have the "Racetrack" tails and the Challenger has the twin hoops. It really is a generational thing,...
While I still prefer old iron, I do have to say the new Dodges look good, and you can tell they are Dodges from 1/4 mile away by the tail lights.

1960 Chrsyler 300, 1963 Chrysler 300, 1961 Plymouth Fury, 1964 Plymouth Fury, 1960 Desoto... Any Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth Hardtop Station wagon...
