well good for you. i'm glad your happy with your bodywork. makes you feel like the time was well spent doesn't it?!!! what color did you go with?

 

[5.7 hemi]

It was alot and I mean alot of time, but it paid off in the end. The color is dark charcoal metallic grey, looks awesome, in my opinion. I'll post pics when it comes home next week.

Surgery took 6 hours and I can see much better. Eye is still swollen, so typing this is really hard. Vision will get even better as the swelling goes down. Zar is not ready yet, hopefully this friday.

Joking! :icon_axe:


Glad to hear your surgery went o.k.

Hey Zack
I am VERY pleased to hear of your successful operation.
I also feel your pain about having time to work on car and not having car available to work on.
While I have a MAJOR advantage of a completely outfitted shop to build my car in, he is not open on weekends.......so I work hard at finding days I can "escape" my business to go work on it during the week, otherwise I would be drivin it right now!

Thanks Darius. Got good news today, my car will be delivered on Thursday this week. Cant wait to get it back and start wrenching, well just the real light stuff, doc's orders.

I just spent the last hour or so reading this thread from front to back. Great looking car! I have wanted to do a swap like this for some time now. I used to have a 71 Duster that I thought would be killer with a 5.7 Hemi in it. But like most of my projects, not enough time or money, so I ended up selling it so I could put the money into my Roadrunner. I can't wait to see the pics when it is reassembled!

 

[rapidtransitric]

hey 5.7 can't wait to see the car. did you see the new hemi forum just started on fbo?

 

[5.7 hemi]

Yeah, I know the time vs. money thing all too well. And wouldn't you know it, I do have more time than money, lol.

Gonna check it out right now. Perhaps there will be more swaps that people want to post if there is something dedicated for that specific purpose, I guess we'll see.
