Always been curious where my old car was,it's been here all along!!!!!!

Close to the fender tag  - in looks anyway.

F8 Green
White interior
What I am gong to change up is the colour of the vinyl top - going with white instead of the dark green.

I'm going to go through the 440 that was in it. The guy I bought from gave me a receipt for a rebuild - not sure if he had it done or if he got it from the person he bought the car from... was that you? I forget the order, now.

I can dig up the receipt. Maybe you know the shop. I'd be interested to hear what you think of them if you do know it.
I do have an original intake that I can put on in place of the Torker II that's on there now. And an correct carb as well.
I need to think through the setup based on the cam that's in there. I have the paperwork on that as well.

I'd like to go with factory discs - they are still on there, but it's getting tougher to get the parts.

Other than that, I'll keep it pretty much stock looking. I'll sneak some convenience upgrades in there - like headlight relays for one.

Now, I say all that, but every once in a while I find myself looking at a shiny new high performance front suspensions system, and sighing longingly.

If my memory serves me, it was a 69 440 in it,ran rough,needing a rebuild.That's the way I sold it.

That's the engine I have. It was rebuilt already.
I just found the invoice from the shop: Ed's Auto Machine in Naugatuck, CT
And it's written out to the guy that I bought the car from - so he did do some work to it.

It's got a new cam 484 lift, 284 duration - I think that was customer supplied since I have a separate receipt for it.
The shop put about $640 worth of parts and $1000 in labour.
bored over .030
block and heads were magna fluxed
6 broken bolts removed

all the machining done - some of the details are hard to read..
crank was polished

looks like the paint used was chevy plastic coat. 

That was done in 99 and I got the car in 2002, I think it was.. the engine was just plunked in the engine bay.
It sat for a while there and has been sitting ever since. I'll need to go through it all.
maye I'll actually hear it run one day.

And some more recent pics.   

Driver's side is in polyester primer and most of the panel alignment is done. The rest will get done once it's off the spinner.

Awesome buddy

That is coming along great ! Did you cut drain holes in your subframe connectors?

[dodgecharger-fan]

Thanks!

The subframe connectors are from US Car Tool and they come with those holes already cut.

Nice peices. Needed a little bit of trimming here and there - but we're pretty sure it was more about the shape of my car rather than the product.
Besides, it was only a couple of spots.

I feel a little like jb666. 

Let me say, right now, I'm sorry
