I have been a member of the sister site cbodiesonly for many years: so I don't feel exactly "NEW". I like all MoPar classics & own several. This is my Jane Dirt project except all the drivetrain is new. Rebuilt 383 engine, rebuilt 4 speed trans which is numbers matching & a 3.55 posi rear. It also has dual exhaust & completely new original 11" brakes. I just got it running on Wed last week & drove it for the first time. I had an issue with the idler arm & joined this site to get some knowledgeable help because several mechanics that looked at it didn't know what was going on: it was bent & allowed the idnner ball joint to rub against the torsion bar. A fine gentleman helped me out, thanks! Once that is fixed I can drive J.D. on the road. For now I don't intend to get it painted. I will do body work as time allows & drive her because every time I have a nice looking, painted car I keep it in a garage. I do plan on 15" tires & wheels. I will update you as time allows & share all I can of my limited knowledge. I do have lots of parts & cars... an 80x40' 2 story building full but you will need to come see it all in person in Roanoke VA. Cash & trade for the love of all things cars! Not for profit. ;) 500cubes
