Hi guys I just found and joined the site. Looks like a great place!
I orginally bought my 1967 Coronet in 1998. At that point I started stock piling parts and in 02 I totally deconstrcuted it and finally got it back together and running in August of 08. It was a long and expensive journey. I did all the work my self with some help from my dad. I had the paint and machine work on the 440 block done by others. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Thanks alleyoop, My paint color is light blue metallic, yours seems to be a bit more "teal" but they are very similar. The guages are overlays form whiteguages.net. They were extremely easy to install and look great!

Thanks daredevil - They are TTI with 2" primary and 3" collector. They are a great piece. They fit great but are hard to install, they are so long I needed a lift. My jack and stand were not tall enough. Valve covers need to come off as well. Sounds great!

ha ha ha, I have not even touched that indicator since I got the tach, I think my 440 can wind up a little higher that 4k! Considering it only has a couple hundred miles on it, I will keep it low for a while.
