Well, just thought I'd post another update;

- as some of you know, I had an accident with the car when it was 99.9% done (just needed the carpet and seat belts installed and a wheel alignment). link here: https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1

Anywho, the short version is the tranny malfunctioned and the car took off and mangled the N96 Ramcharger hood. I purchased another one which needed some work and it's currently at the body shop undergoing minor rust repair and bodywork. Fortunately I had purchased an extra gallon of PPG EF8 paint.

I'm supposed to take the car in to the tranny shop in the next week or so to re & re and rebuild the tranny. Best guess so far is that the clutches somehow fused together and the tranny bumped from park into Reverse due to incorrect linkage setting and interference with a brake line. Because the clutches were fused, Reverse is now a forward gear apparently.

I'll post some pics of the new hood when I get to the bodyshop.

This car WILL get done eventually!
