    Prototype Hood - R&D Survey

    It was an exemplar draft...for you guys to kick around and discuss, with it in mind to answer (2) simple questions. For one, I'm not upset regarding any comments I've seen so far. I asked for your feedback, and I'm getting lots... Not necessarily all feedback is on topic - but I'll sort out -...

    Prototype Hood - R&D Survey

    The "Repo" spelling error is a major concern of mine. Given my edjamacation, I should have caught this mistake long before post. Rest assured - a correction of this distracting error, is at the very, very top of my to-do list. Thank-you.

    Prototype Hood - R&D Survey

    I prefer steak and potatoes myself - if that helps contribute to our hobby. In the meantime, I'll stay focused upon the original thread's content & objective. Should I decide to proceed further: The U.S.A. and Canada are both STILL on the table, in sharing key elements of the Manufacturing...

    440 Heads Advice

    I don't pretend to have the mechanical bragging rights of so many others on FBBO, but I can tell you, I just had a set of closed chamber EDE E-Streets professionally installed on my 440 and I am loving these heads. Without getting into all of the technical specs and various equipment combos -...

    1968 Plymouth GTX 440 - Quick Walk Around

    I must say, "That's a good one!". I quite like your image of blasting down Route 66. It's funny, you also mentioned 'gears'. A custom (bullet proof) rear axle - is on my remaining to-do list... Thank-you for your comment :)

    1968 Plymouth GTX 440 - Quick Walk Around

    You got me there. As I said earlier, my memory is beginning to fail me. I know they were blacked out years ago when I was pursuing a much darker theme, but now, I must double check this part - to be sure. No doubt, others also know on first glance, if it's a '68 or '69 part. Thank-you for your...

    1968 Plymouth GTX 440 - Quick Walk Around

    For example... one idea I would now like to pursue, is an original hood prototype, I designed back in 2010. The current hood, is a failed attempt to create, what I had envisioned. I could have taken the easier route, and gone with something like the RR's 6-pack hood, but I wanted something...

    1968 Plymouth GTX 440 - Quick Walk Around

    The cruise control was not stock on this car. It is an era correct mopar cruise control unit, complete with all cables and driver control, situated on the matching signal lever, that my brother installed about 25 years ago. I do not remember the exact source. I have since disconnected the carb...

    1968 Plymouth GTX 440 - Quick Walk Around

    The front arm rests, are original, as far as I know. They came with the car and I've never had a reason to swap 'em out. I won't totally give away what you guys have missed, but will sit on the obvious answer - for a bit longer :)

    1968 Plymouth GTX 440 - Quick Walk Around

    Lol... not bad, not bad. Late '68 X's came with headrests thou. I know my first '68 X did, back in the day. Wow... I'm surprised. You guys are still missing one of the most OBVIOUS '69 mods :)

    1968 Plymouth GTX 440 - Quick Walk Around

    Lol... good eye. Yes, I prefer the '69 hood inserts. (I still have mint '68's in a box somewhere). Did you spot anything else, I snuck off a '69? There are a couple of Harley parts too... rofl.

    I agree. Many videos are brutal to watch, for a variety of reasons. I'm glad you liked mine. lol. It was meant to be quick and simple. The capturing of the morphing beauty, within this paint job - was a bonus! Had I really wanted to do this video correctly, first of all, I would have created a...

    No offense taken... I don't much like the hood either - but I'm kind of stuck with it for now. lol. I found a couple of photos that show how it looked back in 1990 and again in 2010, illustrating my (prototype design) - which I prefer to this day - over what was eventually built, contrary to my...

    1968 Plymouth GTX 440 - Quick Walk Around

    I posted this build update on my opening Welcome to FBBO thread, which I have since been told, wasn't the best of threads for me to have done so. I also thought that I would add the post here - just in case you share that certain weakness, for Snakeskin Green - while reaching out to a few more...
