Good job.

Were those unique to Hemi cars?

We’re those unique to Hemi cars?

I thought they were, but my ‘68 440 4 speed has the round ones while my other ‘68 440 automatic has the pointy ones.

Hemis got the heavy duty round ones whether they were automatic or 4 speed.

Our 67 auto and 4 speed have pointy ones.

That's Chrysler for you. Just when you think you have things figured out, you don't.

66-70 B-Body 440 and Hemi Rear Axle Bumpers (pr)

521 has them but out of stock. Jeff said 6-8 weeks. I need a pair myself.

More progress- had the hinges rebuilt so want to get them locked down on the car and check the door fitment (before they get worked on )
So now I can put the heater box and dash in. Happy with how the doors fit . Now they are next for bodywork

 

[hemidart1]

The original door are in really good shape- except for where the mice nests were and the mice piss soaked the nests and over decades - ate the metal on the doors in the weirdest spots

original battery tray back in. The dimples on the valve covers are there for a reason !

 

[hemidart1]

Heater core is in !

 

[hemidart1]

Just back from a few weeks of vacation- back to work.
Almost ready to swing the dash up and bolt it in place

 

[hemidart1]

Dash is up !

 

[hemidart1]

I put on the NOS chrome box- had the harness modified to reach where I put it .
I wanted electronic ignition on the car - so it’s the big deviation from stock restoration.
I also didn’t want it on the firewall- which is where the electronic harnesses have it placed
So it sits under the washer bottle - hidden but not really

Under the battery tray is usually a good location.

Yeah it is

 

[hemidart1]

In a few years I am going to probably go for the Day 2 vibe- so won’t matter as much

Yep, where mine is on the 66.

Mine was too on my 66. But I dumped it when when I found the engine wiring harness melted and returned to the dual point when I replaced the harness.
