Mike, how ya been man !  Hope all is well down there in Mass. 

Don't worry, i'll send ya a smokey pic when it's powered up....hopefully i'll have enough juice under the hood to turn the tires over. 

You ever go to Lebanon Valley ? How about Epping ? What's the closest track to you ?

Ron, ive never been to either but i looked into it and im dead center between the two. epping is 100 miles form me lebanon valley is like 105. charger still needs seat belts and even if i did that mt et would prolly put me in a unbrakeable state of depression   i think warmed over hemi ram could give her a hell of a run if i can catch traction.  i havent driven the car in about an month and a half, had to swap the starter out and i kept finding this and that wrong and it snowballed so i just locked the garage and left it there. ive done some of the work and i could get it running again in a day or so if i get left alone and am motovated. some of the problem stuff i have to put blinders on for now though.

on the plus side i think i know why my clutch wont hold during a burnout anymore. motors leaking oil like a pig and guess what no flywheel cover so guess where the oil went?  lets just say theres slippery where there isnt supposed to be slippery. i think i fixed the leak but the clutch is gonna stay the way it is for now. the 400s runnin good but shes tired, maybe ill go rob a bank so i can build my 440 lol............Mike

Mike, when i make it down to one of those tracks i'll give ya a heads up. 

Sorry to hear about the problems. At least you know why the clutch is slipping.....might be time for a new one anyway. Wouldn't take much to build a 440 shortblock and you could use most of the stuff from the 400 ( heads, cam, lifters, rocker shafts/arms, headers, oilpan/pickup, windage tray etc.....) 

Sounds like a good winter project !

Wow love the black, looks great!!!

[Brightyellow69rtse]

sounds good Ron lemme know.

i worked on her today, what happened is i bought a mini starter off eaby and the only way it would fit if if i crushed a header tube in half basicly and thats after some grinding to the starter. after a little bit of messing with it today i said screw it and i bought a stock replacement. yes its twice the size and double the weight but i got it in in about 20 mins lol. stupid ass mini starter caused me too much grief. starter works great the cars never started so fast in the 7 years ive had it. dunno if the oil leak is fixxed or not but at this point the way i see it oil i cheap lol. so all i gotta do is put the steering column back reinstall the seat and finish up my console restore/ custom kinda thing and ill be set ..........Mike
