64 Plymouth Belvedere build

[khryslerkid]

My son is doing all the fab work on the car. I am not that good

Yes, that type of welding takes a good eye and a steady hand. I worked with a young man who could tig almost microscopic welds. Very talented!

Just read through this entire Belvedere build for the first time (beginning to end) and realized I am a boy in a man's world. Are any of you folks related to the Marvel Comic super heroes?

Thanks for the complement my son is a pretty good fabricator and he has been working on cars with me since he was about 4 years old. He passed me long ago.

Is that a finished exhaust port?????? I wonder if those flanges would fit and old set of Mopar Dart aluminum dual plug heads with raised exhaust ports,,,,,,,,,,

No that picture is of the Stage 5 head out of the box before any machining. Don't know if those flanges will fit the dart head. We just made those flanges to fit the Stage 5 head how we wanted it for the header build.

I've been looking for flanges.

How did you get the doors properly aligned. I working on a 64 Sport Fury and cannot get the doors to close. I tried everything that I could think of short of removing the front fenders to access the hinge front bolts. Any help would be appreciated.

If you take off your inner rear splash shields in your wheel wells and then take your kick panels off you can get to all the bolts. We had the front fenders off the car when we aligned the doors. Hope this helps

Got the intake mocked up.

Michigan guy with a black/red color combo 64, looks like we have a bit in common. Awesome job on the build. Not being critical but if your going to run NSS why did you use coil over fronts and dominators? Or is NSS out the window. Awesome build. cant wait to see it in person.
