If you're going the restomod route, think you ought to either fuel inject the Hemi, or sell the Hemi & drop in a Hellcat drive train.

Haha, well I did consider it and fuel injection is possible for the current Hemi.
Don't want to change it for a new one as I like the look of the Gen2 and don't want to cut out the tunnel.
Really the only thing "restomod" on this car is the front seats. Could just bolt in stock seats if I wanted so no modification to the car to install them except one hole drilled through the subframe connector per side.
Unless you count disc brakes and the 5 speed trans but I don't think that qualifies it as a restomod.

Disc brakes just keep you out of the fields or trees with that HEMI under the hood! Gotta have those to really play! Awesome ride man keep up the great work on it!

Seems I did a terrible job of updating this.
I am excited however as the car is nearly completed.
Just a few small details such as wiper arms, alignment, cut and buff. Also need to swap ring and pinion from 3.54 to 4.10.
Did a ton of work on this, short list is-
All trim polished, AMD glass, new fuzzies, new weatherstrip, converted to 3 speed wiper in order to swap from single carb to dual 4's and chrome dome. Painted booster/master and radiator, finished brakes, new wheels/tires, installed complete interior, dynamat, bluetooth module for stereo. Had the wrong flywheel so swapped that out. Motor mounts put the engine to high so cut/welded those to correct. Had new parking brake cables made and got that working. Lots of wiring. Re-tensioned headliner. Had dash repainted, dyed everything else to match. Forgot the rest! Runs and drives great though and -everything- works
Thanks to everyone for help along the way. Especially Richard for all the parts and advice. :2thumbs:
