Looks good RT! Have you had it down the track yet? What did it do???
 
Mike I was trying to get ready to run this weekend but the weather didn't cooperate. Hopefully next weekend I better.
 
Good luck.... the car really turned out nice!!!
Winter is almost over & Spring time is about perfect in Tx...only a month or two away!
Time to start enjoying it!!!
:steering:
 
I finally found the pentastar I purchased, I had misplaced it. So now the last piece of the puzzle for now anyway. So it wasn't a total restoration but only repaired the body panels that needed attention so I could paint it. Now it's time to enjoy the ride and I plan to. Thanks to all the members who have given me advice, direction and/or encouragement. MOPARS RULE!!! At least in my book. Lol

Took the R/T out to the track to do some testing. 60ft times are better with the new taller tires but top mph and ets are slower. More bottom end tuning first then work on the top end speed and etzzz.

I found some pics of the repairs I made to the front windshield chanel before I replaced the seal and windshield. Here's a few pics if it loads them all.

New project in the engine now. I removed the Edelbrock heads and installed a set of ported 906s with titanium retainers. All back together now and ready for a shake down run.

She has a new set of front tires, I went up one size to 215/60/15s. I wanted to raise the front up some. I also got in some parts to try. I want to tune it to drive more. Fun Times to come!
Going to try the duel plane intake and a 3 to 3500 stall. Removing a 4200 stall and single plane intake.

Just realized I still haven’t installed the parts I got awhile back. I was making a list of things I need for another project and remembered I needed a bathtub gasket for the intake swap. Thinking I’ll get a carb kit since it sits most of the time and questionable fuel availability.
Might be thinking about selling!
