DumpyDan Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Looking great so far, it all comes together when the wheels go on, gonna be waiting
Mr. Moparman Posted June 30, 2016 Author Posted June 30, 2016 I'm in the "whatever fits the wheels used" camp here, Brandon, but that's just me. That's what I'm gonna do. I particularly don't feel interested to break the epoxy holding the wheels to the wheel backs just to change tires.
Roadrunner Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 That's what I'm gonna do. I particularly don't feel interested to break the epoxy holding the wheels to the wheel backs just to change tires.I understand completely, and agree 100%.
Mr. Moparman Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 Ok, so some small progress tonight. I've been lacking the past few days because 1, I mow yards to earn summer cash that carries me through the winter (I make $23.09 every week for my full-time job, so the bonus summer cash of $80 a lawn comes in very nice around January) and 2, because, well, it's a holiday weekend. So I got around to putting the front suspension together. I mounted the wheels, and lined them up. The more I look at these pad printed tires, the more I think they were so worth the $6.99 I paid for them. The underside. Gold paint was used to simulate the coating that Chrysler liked to put on the front end suspensions of these cars. And finally, the 440 seated into its final home. After the festivities this weekend, I'll build the cooling system and get it into place, and also paint the performance stripes on the body. Thanks for looking! Brandon
Roadrunner Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Yep, those AMT tire packs are killer, especially given those god awful looking tires that come with a lot of these kits, that look like they actually belong on some sort of farm machinery.
Mr. Moparman Posted July 9, 2016 Author Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) I'm just letting you guys know that I haven't' died! I actually did some work today, not enough to warrant pictures, but I'll have some over the next day or so to show off! Edited July 9, 2016 by Mr. Moparman
KWT Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Good looking stuff here... Definitely like where it's going.
SamBred Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 The colors look great. I'm a mopar man my self. Looking forward to see the finished car.
EL LOCO Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 This is looking great. Like the color. Well done!! I'll keep an eye on this one.
Foxer Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 This is coming along very well .. what stands out for me is how well you draped the plug wires!
Mr. Moparman Posted July 16, 2016 Author Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Alright guys! I'm back with a progress update! First off, no, I did not die. And no, I didn't give up on this project. I've just been busier with far more important things. Anywho, I have progress to show off! The engine bay is pretty much complete. I still need to mount the master cylinder and washer motor to the firewall. A look at the chassis. The rear suspension is also starting to take shape. She now sits on four wheels! ] A look at the front going back. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned, because interior work is up next! Brandon Edited July 16, 2016 by Mr. Moparman
