Since beginning of April '18, my project is moving along. Stripped most of the car at home (dirty job). Glad I did as I found areas that would have haunted me later. Did the repairs and sent body out on rotisserie for blasting. Found a few pin holes and needs some repair in lower rear window channel.
Got my red Gary Ball interior and bumpers re-chromed, sitting in the basement man cave. Picked up a nice Hemi scoop from Hemi Eddie in Michigan.
Got a '98 Magnum 360 stroked to 408, Eagle rods, Diamond pistons, roller cam, Mopar Performance R/T cast heads with roller rockers, 750 Holley, Edelbrock Torker, and Hooker Comp headers with 2500 stall Hughes converter from a friend who upgraded his engine. Dyno'd at 500/500.
Hope the photos load.

Looks good! Reminds me of how my Belvedere 1 looked about 12 years ago soda blasted on a rotisserie.
