Perfect! That's awesome

Thanks

 

Got off my lazy ass and painted the hood and trunk.

 

Very cool!!!....
So, what's the story on that injected 426 HEMI???

 

Still gotta make mounts for the HEMI and cut the hole in the hood.

 

Farkin Badass man.....can't wait to hear it run?

 

Looks Great!

 

Bring it down to Dallas for the geezer reunion in Dec
McCroan would be proud of you...not that he will be there..

 

I've tried to track him down some say he died others just don't know were he's at.

 

I loved the early FXr's and Funny cars and that car epitomizes the birth of that era in drag racing! "Right On...!

Is the drivetrain ready to drop in?

What's the estimated time to completion?

 

Nothing beats an AWB Plymouth/Dodge.... killer pics!

 

Still need to build the engine,trans and rear.I'm hoping for this spring.

 

Stuck the mock up block in waiting, for mounts so I can get it setting in the right spot.Then I can cut the stacks to the right length and cut a hole in the hood.

 

Great progress any updates...........

 

Looks great. Love seeing cars in their "as raced" state verus "as built". And I also enjoy seeing a car lettered by a sign painter and pinstriper...not a vinyl cutting machine!

 

Just some little odds and ends stuff is done no major updates.

 

found 2 more photos

 

fixed the lettering today

 

that thing looks great, what color red is that ?

 

it's the factory red for 64

 

Looking great man, you're doing it right

I'm no MOPAR guy but I do love the 64-65 LEGAL A/FX'ers and not so legal match bash MOPAR's. It looks awesome, maybe someday you can haul it east a ways to the "MELTDOWN DRAGS" in Byron Ill.(aka Rockford dragway)

 

I'm trying to,not easy on a regular guys income though!

 

Got a little bit more done took a couple of tries to get a windshield shipped that wasn't cracked.I finally got a good one and cut the hole in the hood and cut the stacks to the right height.

 

looks great make sure you tape those stacks. when you hit the gas they will stay in place when you let up it will send them flying without the tape. even just running in the driveway. if you need help setting up the injectors you know how to get a hold of me. i have done several.

 

Wow thanks for the offer Brian!I just might do that when the time comes.I'm taking it to work tomorrow so I can rivet the bells onto the stacks like the original had.
