Chris, that looks like it's going to be one fun stock car.
 
it will be fun, it is taking a ton of time, but till i get to motor it will not be expensive. Ive been around mopar stock cars since like 89 so this is nothing new, but I did get out of it for 4 years. i found this to be a hard addiction to give up. this time around Im building a top notch car , but will only race 5 or 6 times a year max. it is too easy to get burnt out doing this stuff by yourself. Im just a normal guy who works full time, and runs an entertainment buisness that does shows 4 nights a week. between those things and family the racing is a back seat.
 
I would make the comment that your car looks good. But since there seems to be someone who thinks I only do it to pad my post count, I guess I won't say....

Painted two months ago?
You must be smokin the tires by now?
Looks like a top notch job coming together.
Pictures of the smoke when ready please?:yes:
 
I just pulled the '35 back out since the motor for the '69 Barracuda is going to take another 4-5 weeks to complete. Time to pull the body again, pull everything off the frame and send it out for powder.

Yes they are and I frickin' dig'em. I am going to have two sets of wheels/tires for it. I have a set of 15x15/15x3.5 Autodrags in the garage. I don't have the track tires for the rear yet but currently have Morosos on the front runners.

Then, Frank from Stockton Wheel owes me a set of Magnum 500s (15x8s and 15x7s) but I am going to have him make me a set of custom steelies for the street. Again, 15x15s for the rear and 15x4s or 5s for the front. What I am going to have him do is place the centers from some original '35 rims in a widened 15" hoop. The key here will be to also incorporate the more modern 4.5" center in the middle of the '35 center. A little confusing but what I am trying to achieve is having a 15x15 steelie with a 4.5" BP (and correct ID) and be able to use the original '35 dog dishes. This is only for street use and some changes (ex. longer wheelstuds, etc.) will accompany the use of the AutoDrags.
 
Oddly enough....I followed that. Ought to look pretty cool...big ole fatties on factory lookin rims.

I dig that AMX as well. Almost had a 69 390 4 speed car last year. Sweet.
 
Well i had been working on one of the coolest '74 dusters on the planet.. but I pretty much have it done except for the little nit picky stuff...only took 19 years !

Well isn't that something. The guy that painted my 69 RR is currently in the process of building a 21' Chris Craft Capri with a Hemi!!! I don't remember the year but it's supposed to be an early production with the bull nose. Here's a pic of the new bull nose (sitting on my RR) that he had made from the original pattern.

To quote an old TV show - Loooooking gooooood!!!
