I am going with a 66 charger type interior, seat are out of a 04 monte ss back and a 03 Pontiac gtp 2 door, so they fold forward. Unfortunatly find 2 door Chrysler cars with decent seat is very hard to do in northern minnesota
 
I will probably be looking for a sure grip later.HAHAHA
 
I have done all work except build the engine, I had a kid at our local north west tech college, high performance engine class build it for me. I have enhanced all body line to make them pop.
 
wow I have looked at a few of the other projects here and I am totally blown away, I though my project was a big one, but I see I am not in the same league. I do have a project that will take that much work, and I am not sure I will have the time or the train load of cash to do it. It is a 56 Dodge suburban 2 door wagon. I think it would be really cool, and not too many around. I am in northern Minnesota is anyone might be interested.
 
Nice work! A 69 is my next project if I ever finish my 68.. We need more pics..
 
Swweeet car! love the color. Will you be putting a stripe on it.

The 'burban sounds interesting. I think 2 door station wagons of the late fifties early sixties are cool. What will you be powering it with?
 
I have a ghost stripe on the tail. I forgot to add that pic, It says Russ above the body line and Toy below the line.

I bought a 92 Dakota with a 318 magnum for the running gear, it is a starting point
 
Excellent choice for running gears. If you need any Dakota parts hit me up, I have a a fleet of them.
 
I have the consul done, and it looks great, package tray and back divider. Head liner and carpet is in too.. also put in electric locks

it starting to come together, waiting for some parts for the front doors and they will get put back together, then a wind shield gasket, re scuff the car and spray a new coat of clear to cover a couple scratches I have put in it over the last year, and out it comes

more pics, side glass in, door are a bit of a p.i.t.a. you have to have the track/wing window out and put it and the glass in at on time, but it is done and looks good
