I finallly began reassembling the third member. I decided to use the 3.73 gears that I picked up at the swap meet since I will be running a 275/60X15 tire. I rebuilt the limited slip and made a pair of side gear alignment tools from a set of old axles. I should have it completed this week. That...

Also had couple packages show up this week- one from Classic Industries, I took advantage of their Labor Day sale, (order shipped complete and showed up in less than a week) engine wiring harness, weatherstrip and gaskets, hinge rebuild kit and front lenses. The other one was an unexpected...

We had the first local swap meet in two years last weekend. Got rid of a bunch of stuff and found even more for the car: Derale tranny cooler with fan New 3.73 gears for a '489 case Hughes 2500 converter Mopar mini starter Trunk mount battery kit and master switch A 5 point harness, outdated but...

The desert derelict was reduced to the sum of it's parts this week. Salvaged a lot of trinkets and bunch of good sheet metal for patch panels. Some of them on my car, some for my buddy's big block '73 SE and some for future use?

I drug this donor out of the desert earlier today. Pretty much anything that can be unbolted is gone except the rear swaybar and tinted back window. Other than the lower quarters, it does have lots of nice solid sheet metal with only a little surface rust that I can use for patch panels.

Purchased a Flaming River steering box from a fellow forum member. Thanks Duece! I found the adapter kit at a swap meet recently.

Moving forward on the project, I'm just not good at posting updates. The car was originally a column shift so I dug through the parts pile again and came with pieces to build a floor shift column using pieces from a floor shift pickup and column shift column out of a '71 Satellite. This makes...

I've been trying figure out what seats to use. I want something with more support that the factory seats but a lot of the aftermarket seats look like they should have come in GM product. I found this for a good deal on an on-line classified sight and had to have it. Now I just need to figure out...

The car was missing the grill and taillights. Since I'm not a big fan of the '73/74 "keyboard" taillights anyway, I found these '72 taillights in Texas on FB Mopar sight. I think they will work well with the stock car style rear spoiler that I have planned. Also bolted up the AMD '71 style rear...

When car is done, there is road course in BFE Oregon about 60 miles away that I would like to run the car at so I've settled on 3.23 gears. I dug through the parts piles and came up with a '489 case, 3.23 gears, power lock limited slip, large yoke and a new set of bearings. Made a call to...

I did a first gen Camaro spoiler on a '72 Road Runner. It may also work on a '73. I thought it looked and fit pretty good. And they are pretty inexpensive.

Updated rear suspension is back in the car. Next will be rebuilding the frontend, converting to manual steering, adding heavier torsion bars, bigger sway bar and brakes. I will be keeping this stance on the car.

I'm old enough to remember Herschell McGriff running that car with different paint in the old Winston West series!

I have a 493 and Holley Sniper injection that I built to put in my '71 Road Runner but I think it's going to end up in the Charger. It has a Milodon low profile 7 qt pan but I think it will still hang down too far. I found this Milodon road race 7qt pan on Craiglist which will give me more...

Rebuilt the rear leaf springs, added an additional half leaf to the drivers side, an extra set of clamps on the front half and poly bushings. Waiting on the FirmFeel 2 position front hangers.

Started working on the rear suspension. Having to do it in the gravel in front of the shop because the GTX and Road Runner are in there and if I do it on the slab out front I'd block the roll up door. Time to get rid of the rear iso clamp system and stiffen the housing. If anybody needs the iso...

Made a 200 mile road trip today to pick up parts. I found a guy that used to build circle track cars and was cleaning out his shop. Scored a bunch of misc. parts from him and grabbed the new wedge fuel cell and big block spool mounts that I had found in a couple other ads on the way. Total cost...

Oh God no! That was my fat fingers on the keyboard and I can't change the title now. It's getting a 440.

Next step is to get the rear suspension set up and get rid if the isoclamp system. I dug through the parts pile and came up with original springs from my '71 Road Runner, some extra leaves and clamps to build a set of heavy leaf springs. I also ran across a set of slash cut tips that I picked...
