I guess i should have checked here first, good deal regardless.. But I just sent you 2 diagrams a bit ago to your email, if its the same, been awhile... If it isint someone might be scratching there head maybe wondering what kind of car this is lol. They will explain it and they might come in handy later.. Good luck.

Hahahaha, thanks bud i appriciate it

Enjoy

The list gets longer..... Now that ive got 600+ ponies, the hood doesnt want to hide them all. I nd to figure out an air cleaner situation, guess i cant use the coyote duster i had in mind...

Secobd photo is just for fun..

both tops look good on that motor.That coyote duster air cleaner is what i need for my RR.I'm sure you will find a rad from champion for your car.

The Radiator indeed will be coming from Champion. As for the aircleaner.... The one pictured is actually for my 69, an nos lunch pail piece i scored a while back. The one i want to use is all chrome.

A little update, ive slowed down in my progress again. But i had an interesting event happen, well not really, more aggrivating than anything. I scored a NOS pistol grip handle at Carlisle. Well apparently the plastic was much to brittle. Heres a pic of the nos one against the authorized mopar replacment. I cant believe the difference in the quality. Its gross, the woodgrain look is terrable on the repop, almost looks like Zebra print than wood, but oh well.
And a few other pics i forgot to add from before of the bellhousing, and a couple of my way over restored licence plate light, and i also started rebuilding my steering shaft
Also of the rear wheels after i Zoop Sealed them ( comp. Name is now shineseal)

Couple shots of the lic. Plate light and the beginning of my steering shaft resto.

Finished restoring the steering shaft....

Thanks for the compliment bud.
I know that if this were a 68-70 B it would be getting more attention. But. Is what it is. Haha
Ill hope to get her off the jackstands and rolled outside for a photo shoot by this weekend.
As always thanks roadrunnerman for following...

Also, got the steering shaft installed, i safety wired the coupler boot on, because i just plain dont trust the stupid design.

 

[roadrunnerman]

Blackblazer717,that is a good idea for putting wire thru your steering.I think i will use that idea if you don't mind cause i had that same scenario happen with me on my ramcharger.Luckily i was going less than 20mph at the time.

Its literally impossible for this coupler to come appart, but its definantly a good safety measure regardless.
And of course you can! Glad i gave you an idea
