Corey, thanks for the reference pictures, but John is correct. I should have specified that this is a 392. Sorry about that omission...

Wow, Art! This is really great stuff. I really like the guitar string rod ends! I'll have to try that one.

Thanks, Scott. Your comments are very appreciated!

Hey Chris!

Thanks for checking in. I had to put this one on hold so I could concentrate on my long-term Corvette project. I just have to get that thing done by April, but I'm hoping to have this one done by then as well. I hope to back on it soon.

Liking it so far. She will be happy to have it!!! I'm doing a Willy's for my daughter only the one I'm doing is a 33 Willy's. I had a friend make up decals for it that say "Lilly's Coupe" as my daughter's name is Lilly. I'm going to go for a nostalgia gasser look. Pink, orange windows, blown engine and halibrands.

Oil filter on the early Chrysler is basically total opposite of the 426. Passenger side at the rear of the block. Most just use a remote filter adapter to relocate the filter.

Thanks for the unanswered comments, guys. I really appreciate you all looking.

So I'm finally getting back on track with this one. I will post some pictures soon, but first I have a question about the filter set up. In the picture above with the remote adapter, is there an internal pump that moves the oil to the oil filters or is an external pump needed?

Thanks in advance!

Nice progress!

As far as the oil pump goes- you should be able to just plumb the remote filters into the engine. The internal pump should produce enough flow to keep the oil moving, unless you're mounting the filters in the trunk or some crazy place like that. B)

Very nice work, Art, especially on that chassis.

The door hinges are nicely done, too.

If money goes the way I want, I might actually be able to fly out to NNL West this year. I hope I get to see this there if I can make it.

Like everybody else, I'm glad to see you working on this build again. Your black Vette that is a replica of the car your father worked on looks great.

Thanks, Charlie. If you make it and I make it up there next year, look me up!

Excellent work on this one so far... You are an artist.

Thanks, Bob!

Dave, thanks for the compliment. The Vette was a fun project, but I'm glad it's over!
