Got updates! Took leave for Christams and was able to go back home and get to work. The old girl has been waiting patiently. :sad5: Pulled the rear end out. New seals, crush sleeve, and checked the wear pattern on the ring and pinion. Back in and...

Well everything all back together and wrapped up. I am leaving for Navy basic training tomorrow morning so the 'Cuda is in storage mode for now. It will be a while before any more progress is made on her. My plan is to stockpile parts while I'm away, then when I get some time off, come home and...

I can't wait A68! Alright I got a couple updates. Got some of the panels painted and the firewall coated. My Dad did most of the painting. I am on the take-down, prep, and reassembley. Still much funner than when I was younger and the gopher and my Dad saying, "Hey, Go-pher this...go-pher...

Well I was prepping the windshield channel for paint and was planning on putting the windshield in but I came across a pretty bad bondo cover-up. The passenger side channel had about a 6" hole that went into the cowl. Whoever did the work just shoved some plastic bags inside the cowl and loaded...

Pictures as promised. Better late than never! I took the front half of the heater box off today to find that some type of rodent had been nesting in it. A nice cozy nest made from bucket seat padding, complete with droppings! The Shop-Vac made short work of it. The wiring in the engine bay...

I haven't updated you guys in a while! Removed the entire wiring harness and dash. I repaired and checked out the entire harness. It wasn't too bad but it had a few issues. The dash had a little rust starting so I removed it and I am almost finished media blasting it. The dash pad is in great...

I know it! The guy has a build sheet I've been waiting for in the mail. I'll post a little more about the motor as soon as I get it. I am just now reading and learning about strokers. From what I've read so far they sound lean and mean! I can't wait to hear this baby fire up! The 4-speed is from...

Cruddy - Thanks a lot! I haven't found the fender tag yet. It was taken off the car at some point. I want it BAD! It has been around 15 degrees here the last couple weeks so not much progress has been made. I am going to contact the previous owner and see if he can point me in the right...

Nice Power Wagon! We have a '46 WDX. Just needs a little work on the body and paint. The old single barrel has a little idle issue but it runs and drives like a beast. Looking at a Holley 2-barrel swap to make it a little more crisp. Looks like you could use some winch cable! Speaking of the...

Any day now... :eusa_whistle:

Got a little bit of the wiring harness sorted out. That's about it until the weather get's a little better. Right now it blows.

Here is my story... It started 5 years ago when I saw Vanishing Point for the first time that I knew I had to get a 1970 Challenger R/T 440/4-Speed. So I and started researching and looking at them online. After learning how rare they are I knew it would take a long time of looking and a lot of...

Thanks a lot everyone!

Northern California. Pretty close to Tahoe.

I'll have to get one of those! I could definitely use some directions. I'm pretty confident in getting the shifter in now. I found some good pictures and after holding the rods up to the tranny it shouldn't be an issue getting it installed. Only missing the levers that go on the end of the rods...
