all ready has it Ray, the front end suspension is all new, its 1' 2" taller than stock LOL, he found the body in a fence row next to 2 cars that were burnt to the ground, thats why the right side looks the way it does, still a nice body though really for sitting in a fence row for years, he does beautiful restoration for a living, said he was tired of shiny and might leave it like it is and enjoy driving it, he has put the interior in it, will be a 440, 4 speed, tunnel ram with a slobbering cam

Wow.... that is soooooo F'in cool. I know guys in the Mopar community that would have seizures seeing that car modified like that but I think it's awesome!

You certainly know how to surround yourself with interesting projects!

hi John, all of the Mopar guys can relax, we aren't hurting it at all doing this, bolt another K member under the front and weld the pieces back in I cut out for the headers and no one would ever know it was like this, it needs inner fenders on the front any way due to some rust, if you notice we didn't even cut the upper control arm shock mounts, WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE THIS A LOT EASIER!! LOL thanks for the interest John

forgot to mention it is an old drag car, it was gutted inside with a terrible roll cage, and it had (Big Smoke) lettered in big letters down each door that you can see if you get the light just right

This is absolutely amazing! The chassis is absolutely impressive even if you used a styrene motor, and then when you throw in the motor that you have created............just beyond belief!! Cant wait to see it finished.
