Some goodies arrived from 440 Source this week. Pair of Stealth heads. I added the competition valve job along with the 10 degree locks and retainers. Stainless roller rockers, balancer, and aluminum water pump.

I call this the Winslow plant

Is that yours? 68 GTX time!

Is that yours? 68 GTX time!

yes..... and almost!

It was stuffed away in the house garage........ dumping it into the shop is quite the motivator

Challenger will go onto the rotisserie soon, and move down to the other room

almost ready to break down the RR for blasting; nice weather is right around the corner

he gained 3 pounds a week, every week....... for about 10 months

he was 42 pounds in that pic, if I waited any longer , it wouldn't have happened

he's 145-150 depending on if he ate and/or pooped

These are AMD. When I heard they were getting out of the bumper business I figured I would get them before they become unavailable. I will at some point get my original front re-chromed and the rear if I find a nice core. Mine is toast!

 

[eldubb440]

pretty big day....... I swapped in the new door hinges, and tied up a bunch of loose ends in the mockup. All the rear end sheet metal is screwed together tight; like I wish I could weld it. The screws/holes will locate all the pieces when it's time to reassemble and weld. I Put the fenders back on, adjusted all the gaps a bit. It's kinda like the first milestone............

An old Chinese philosopher once said; "one can never have too much mock up"

I suppose my next move is to prep/weld the rocker so I can chop the floor out

 

[T2R9]

Nice! Getting close to sparks flying. It is getting crowded in there!
