Here are some recent photos of my resto as of 11/04.

The engine has been completely rebuilt and is ready for a lick of HEMI orange paint, the Torrqueflite-727 was rebuilt earlier in the year and is also ready for action.
The gaps on this car are perfect but in some photos the lines are not right due to the fact that the hinges etc are not in place for painting reasons.
All interior products seats, carpet, dash, tilt grip shifter are all new from Yearone, Tonysparts and the hard to find pieces on eBay.


Estimated time of completion: Early March 2005


Cheers,
Carl

Thanks mate. You'll see more of me here I stopped coming because the system here was to bloody slow, seems to have sped up a little and the user friendly controls are great!


Yip I can't wait for this to hit the road. Roughly 400-410hp is what I would like, a warm "cruise" engine. 8-3/4 SureGrip with 3:55's should make things just! right. [8D]

Engine photos will be up loaded this weekend or early next week, only a couple of shots before the paint is applied.

Cheers,
Carl

 

Welcome back NZ.[sm=smiley20.gif][sm=icon_rock.gif][sm=icon_cheers.gif]WOW!!! Your Challenger is really coming along nicely[sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley20.gif], that is what I want to do to my Roadrunner, but I would need the clean space to do it in.[:@] I can't wait to see it when it's all done.[sm=smiley3.gif]

 

Hey 71!!

Good to see a you mate, there should be a combinned Muscle section because the Cuda-Challenger area doesn't see much traffic. [] I was going to post this in the Muscle section but thought it would get moved.

Thanks for the comments mate she should be ready Mid March.


Cheers,
Carl

 

There use to be just a single muscle car section, but some people asked for a seperate section for those models and that's why they are here.

I'll be waiting for the pics of it when it's done.[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

Hey Bud, don't worry mate I'll post a nice selcetion from around New Zealand when shes finished.


Cheers,
Carl

 

Great! I'll also want to hear how well it runs and feels, being basically new again and all.
