You are building a piece of art! So jealous......

Fiberglass headliner and panels....are these something you are creating yourself or an after market purchase?

The speedo issue can be solved with a digital odometer that runs GPS and much more accurately! I built an entirely new dash and have all digitals from Speedhut that cured a lot of my issues trying to get everything to work together. Along with a Ron Francis harness and the complete Holly EFI...

I'm with you...69 Coronet with stroker and 6 speed auto. Looks great and you are really moving on it.

Built a new dash panel with carbon fiber and Speed Hut gauges for my 69 Coronet. Sorry about the lighting for the pictures but will be installing soon.

That sounds like a great plan, hadn't thought about adding extra length! The wiring of all this new technology into a 50 year old car has me scared anyway...might as well be comfortable. I will be adding EFI to all this and a 6 speed auto with an ECU....I'm really asking for a headache! I...

69 Coronet with carbon fiber overlay and Speedhut Gauges. Sorry about the lousy pictures, lighting not the best in shop. Had to build a sheet metal insert to replace the original, weld in place, arrange gauge placement, cut all holes, cover and then collect all the dash pads from FBBO and ebay...

Really nice looking gauges and dash, great job in matching that up! I wish I had that big window Chevy truck in my garage, like in your previous pictures....a 55 or 56? Trade you straight up for a 5 year old Subaru outback that runs like a top!

I just got the Speedhut 6 gauge cluster for the custom dash I am building for my 69 Coronet. The cost was about $700, 4 - 2 5/8" gauges and 2- 4'' gauges, took about 4 weeks to build as I had them to my specs, there are about 7 different choices you make to fit what you want. They look great and...

Very impressive machine Joe! I am leaving Alaska soon, moving to Denver and bringing my 69 Coronet with me! I am really looking forward to getting to know some of the fellow FBBO members down there and enjoying events. Take care and keep us up to date with your antics in that gorgeous Charger.

Building this tranny support, I am dropping it 1/2 an inch so I can shim that much DOWN. The way the mount sits, I can already go UP another 3/4 if I need to. I don't have the rims and tires I want yet and do plan on dropping the front end via the torsion bar adjustments. I like your idea of the...

Understood, since I made a bigger tunnel AND am using a 4L80/ TCI tranny, I had no reference points to go by. Finding the schematics from Ma Mopar wasn't that easy and they didn't have any that showed a side profile for engine centerline and how it related to how the frame sits. All I had to go...

HT 413, thanks for the picture! I had to use the visual aide too,I leveled the body out using original Mopar drawings for the reference, blocking up to get the same distance from ground. Then I leveled the intake/ carb while on the engine in the body / hooked to front mounts to get that...

Thank you both for the info and response. I have a bare block so I will confirm the tranny pan, cam and crank bore are parallel first. I dropped the tranny pan to level knowing I could always shim up to get more adjustment on the angle via lifting back of transmission. I will have to get an...

I need a little tech help gentlemen. I installed a 6 speed TCI /GM with a Reid bell housing adapter behind my (bare)440 block and the car has the welded in tie-ins/ stiffeners to front and rear frame. The block is mated to the k member via stock engine mounts and the tranny is bolted up behind...

Plus the special torque converter from TCI, almost forgot that.

Dpaul63...yes I did! That $8500 total included flexplate, Outlaw shifter plus cables and mounts, ECU and all the wiring, 1350 series splined yoke, 6 speed 4L80E tranny plus shipping to Alaska. I covered all the bases, just initially ordered it for the wrong car! I ordered it for my 55 Belair...

That looks so good! Mine will look like a chevy 4-banger compared to that. Will you be putting the engine or car on a dyno to see what true numbers you will have?

I also went with the 4L80 and mine was from TCI but I paid $7300 for mine. UGH! Came with torque converter, wiring, top notch shifter plus linkage and programmable computer. A full covered package that handles 700tq and 700 hp, but in retrospect..expensive. The gear vender was an option but as...

Dpaul63 that block sure looks nice and you KNOW it will all be worth it at the end of the trail! You are building a monster and I envy the direction you are taking. My 383 is still at the engine builder and will be a 468 stroker when it gets done. I can sure relate to the "unexpected" things...
