Real nice Glen...keep the progress going and the updates comin!!!

 

Will do. Thanks again everyone for keeping me motivated. The plan for this weekend is motor back in and dash and chrome garnish moldings installed. And I have friday off so look for updates!

 

Looking great man!

I noticed you haven't said anything about extending the rear quarters. It looks great how it is, but the extending them will definately take it to the next level. What are your plans??

 

Check you out! That engine is a work of art!

Love this car. Keep it going Holmes!

Looks real good keep the updates coming.

 

You have friday off? I was going to come up friday about the time you get off of work so we can start getting the motor and trans back in...do you have plans early friday?If not ill come up thursday evening and stay the weekend and we should be cruising that pig by sunday....Santa maria will be creeping up on us here in no time!! I also have a extra 5qt jug of trans fluid for that th350 ill donate for the cause....

 

timmy i was thinking i will drop the kids off at school friday morning and then come pic you up.
streamliner. i have already welded my fenders to the body and honestly i feel the rear of the car has to much bulk. a ghetto booty if you will.lol. i have actually considered sectioning some metal out of the c-pillar area to lighten it up.

bloody knuckles.thanks man you and i both know this is a hard car to make look good.what's up with yours?

white devil. i have some hardtop specific parts you can have.just pay shipping.a small word of warning i am a super slow shipper though.

and wow thank everybody again

 

Damn that's one classy kustom

 

Looking sweet!

 

Looks good Glendale!!...did you cut out the bumper guard and stick an LED in it?

 

It's no leds it has a housing and bulb.

 

i dont think you should mess with extending the rear quarters like a few have suggested.
whats cool about these olde' mopars is that they are different, that 'stubby' look is great, and sets it apart from the typical flow. nice work. keep at it. good luck.

 

exciting weekend around here. motor is back in. my cousin timmy (losthope) on here. came over we installed the motor and trans.he fixed a bunch of my wiring nightmares. i painted the dash a few weeks a go but I reassembled this weekend. i also worked on the cowl vent. here we go with some pics.
timmy in running the cherry picker.


me giving the thumbs up.

 

Damn those pictures make me look fat! Wheres the picture of the dash?

 

You are fat! Lol I will post dash pics in a few minutes.

 

The engine looks a lot better in the car than on the stand. And the dash looks killer. Keep up the good fight!

 

The inner panels are pitted pretty bad so they will be semi flat black. If my tax return comes in we should have a video of it running next weekend.

 

Way to go Glen . . . Progress! Looking good!

 

your gettin it done

 

Bitchin!!!!!

 

ok small update. front clip should go back on this weekend. i'll let the pics do the talking.

 

Bttt for the morning crew.

 

Lookin good man! Keep at it...
