65 Dodge A/FX build

[RVW]

I agree with Fullmetaljacket, You and Doug are true Craftsmen ! When & where will I be able to see it in person ?

Hope to have the car ready for some initial testing this fall or for sure next spring.

Ok, I wanted to build an AWB when I decided my next project was going to be a '65 Coronet - then I pulled a Convertible out of a friend's parts yard that I couldn't walk away from, brought another one back from out west and built my Convertible w/Max Wedge Indy top end - That's an Awesome car ! I couldn't do both

Coming along Got the car fired up for the first time sounds good. Finishing up the wiring and a bunch of little stuff. Gary Ball is finishing up the door panels and still a ton of little stuff to check over and double check before dyno testing in the spring then off to the track for testing.

Well after 7 years she is moving under her own power. Next off to the chassis dyno for Andy Starr to perform his magic on the 605 Hemi. Weighted the car as it sits now 3030 lbs with full exhaust and both SS seats and about 10 gals of gas. Should be able to get it below 3000 lbs in "race trim".

Rick, What a gorgeous example of the time, diligence, patience & expertise that's been devoted to such a monumental long term project!! You & your team deserve a 'celebration', for sure! Congrats, my friend!!!
