My 1971 Sebring Plus Turned Roadrunner Project

Well, here she sits after paint and body. Does anyone have a suggestion or two about flooring options? Paint, undercoat, Lizard Skin...? (Inside pics below)

Awesome car ! What you do on the floor depends on what your desired outcome is... originality, sound, corrosion prevention, etc... And, inside or underside, or both ?

I would put the lizard skin on there, and the matting to keep it as quiet as possible. You'll be glad you did.

I used a spray on bed liner (Xtreme liner) and then insulated (B Logic) it all but have seen many good options that I would consider.

Wow, very nice! What's going in the engine bay?

Sorry for the lack of updates, it seems life has gotten itself in the way of things yet again...However I have at least managed to hoard some parts since my last update.

Wow, very nice! What's going in the engine bay?

So far I'm refreshing the original 383 and putting it back into the car, but I also have a date '71 coded 440 4bbl from a Charger R/T that I would like to build up eventually and drop in, maybe put in a hotter cam, 6bbl setup...still not sure. But for now, here's some recent pics of the 383 teardown and a few new parts worth mentioning:

Mmmmm 30 year old sludge.

Cyl Head Before:

Fresh from the Machine Shop:

New Aluminum Dual Plane Intake from Mopar Performance:

Mopar Performance reproduction oil pan: (Previous one used as skid plate)

440 Source aluminum water pump housing:

Here's a nice kit from Mopar that includes all bolts, gaskets and plugs for water pump & housing:

Dana 60 pulled from another '71 RR:

This one has a steep 4.56 ring gear, it's getting swapped for a more highway friendly 3.54

More to come in the next few months! (Hopefully weeks)

This is John Herlitz Iconic design. Do the roof to if the headliner is out. Keeep it quiet. I used hardware store knock off. Use what you want. That's gonna be a bitchin Mopar. I'd put black inside, who wants to keep white clean?

I did pull out the headliner and insulation also, there is some surface rust to deal with but nothing major. On another note I had decided to go with black interior from the beginning; I ended up getting it all from Legendary Auto interiors, really good quality stuff and priced decently if you buy it all at once for a bulk discount. I can't wait until I get to install it...!
