Looks very nice.

It completely depends on your expectations are, how much work you can do or are willing to do. It also depends on what you are calling a "restomod". I've built a 73 Cuda and a 71 Charger, both cost me $60K ish but they are completely different with the Cuda having nice paint, a lot of...

Anyone who ever street raced to really any degree most likely considers themselves and the car at the time to be either unbeatable or in the top tier of their local scene. Its human nature, we remember the good times. I listened to an interview with the brother of the Black Ghost's owner and he...

Anyone who is "testing the waters" on their own vehicle they are looking for an ego stroke. These are the same *** hats that love the "what's it worth" pages. Anyone who owns a classic car of pretty much any kind has an idea of its value, if not it takes about 5 minutes online to get an idea...

Uncle phony should NEVER be anyone's source of information for anything.

I will admit up front that I have and do offer low ball offers many times especially if it is something that I do not really need. Some people are very offended by this however most either decline (just a no or they lower their asking price some as a counter) or just do not respond. I am not...

Is this going to be a drag car? If not then I would go with an 8.75 that I can change gear sets in under and hour. Don't let all of the haters convince you that its not strong enough, they have been used by drag racers for decades as well as road racers and dirt track guys. An 8.75 will take 600...

Perhaps in some but in others it looks pretty awesome. There was a guy at SEMA that is putting Cuda sheet metal onto a newer Challenger and they look legit. If it didn't cost $150K plus a donor I would be all over it. Also there is a guy on YT (Steve Marabelli) who has done a number of cars to...

If you had the title to both cars I would think that you could probably title it as either depending on the state you live in. That said, I would "think" that if you put old sheet metal on something like a Hellcat you still have a Hellcat with different clothing. That said, if you dump a Hellcat...

I do not believe that they align very well. There was a guy over on Protouring.com I think it was that did a Charger with a salvaged IRS from a newer Charger or something. As I recall he had to basically reinvent the rear of the car to accommodate it. Also the fuel system has to be "reimagined"...

You are not the first to ask the question, but the answer is as provided, lots of fabrication required.

Man those posts were a long time ago... LOL I did sell the truck to my buddy who has driven the wheels off of it, made some changes to make it his own and continues to love on it. To that end I just picked up another old Dodge truck to work on (like I need that)...

One of the many reasons I got rid of the linkage on my 440 6 pac and went to a cable, significantly easier to mess with. That said you are on the right track.

Full disclosure, I copied most of this from another website but then put it into excel and rearranged it a bit. I thought it might be interesting/useful to someone. I know that when you click on it your comp will want to save it, I promise it is not spam.

On this car I used several different brands of insulation however what you see in the pictures is called Siles Hybrid, I got it from Amazon. It works pretty well, definitely very sticky. It has a bhytl backing and adheres well to most surfaces. I did pretty much the entire car in it except for...
