Lmao yeah I guess I need to get a driver's seat in now so I can get the full experience! But hopefully the real life 440 rumbling will be happening here shortly :icon_thumleft:
And I missed that post about posting the songs Devin but that's an awesome idea! We all have pretty similar taste in music it seems like so I'll have to start sharing my tunes more often

Had a pretty busy weekend aside from the car with most of my family members sick with the flu that's been going around, but I did manage to do some research and planning and got my next order from Summit laid out. My wallet's gonna go up in flames tomorrow, but I'll be getting the QA1 stocker star rear shocks to match the fronts, dynamat xtreme, fuel pump to carb preformed fuel lines, engine and transmission dipsticks (would like to get the black lokar ones but they might be too expensive), Sparco steering wheel, and Grant hub adapter I'll have to modify to fit the Sparco bolt pattern. Actually it was kinda cool, Mr. Angry Mike Musto helped me out with a message on facebook telling me that's how he got the sparco wheel onto the chrysler collumn.
And while I'm waiting on that stuff to get here, I've gotten back to work on finishing my grille. Lucky for me 747 was nice enough to send me his old "I" beam trim for me to try and save since he got a brand spankin new set (again, a huge

And after a bit of intensive care:
Still have about 40% left to go before I can hit it with the buffer, but I'm keeping the faith this thing will make a full recovery (if I don't sand through this time haha). And I think it's pretty cool, if this resurrection works out, frankenstein will have a little piece of 747's Charger as part of the monster from now on
