Man: This REM stuff is crap. I waited about a month to put my headliner in waiting for the REM sailpanels and they were nowhere near being right (clearly labeled as 1970 Challenger too), I ended up throwing them away, then I go to bump the firewall nails in and they're absolute crap too. Off to NAPA to see what they have.. The Rally dash stuff is sure minty on this car though. Not much work there at all.

Been there, done that... I feel your pain when it comes to "junk"....
Good luck on the future portion of the project.....

Nice work Sheldon, that is a most excellent color combination. Hope to see it in person some day. Any chance of the Mopar show in Langley this July?

sounds good. ...and FWIW, I'm still my same old, homely self! I was supposed to go to the Old Time Drags in Ashcroft this weekend, but the car isn't ready, the camper isn't ready and my home renovation checklist is overflowing..... Dave

Looking great Sheldon. Good plan with the wheels, I screwed up with mine: going to put poly's on the steelies and run an aftermarket wheel with the BFG's for driving....probably those same TT's. Dave

Looks good Sheldon! I'm beginning the Hemi journey that we spoke of.... Wish me luck! Between that, starting the process of building a garage, and expecting a young one in Feb... I might go crazy...Lol

Sheldon, I just got back from Boston and expected to see an update! Any further development? I finally got mine inspected/aligned and insured.....10 years this February! What can I say, I'm a little slow! Anyhow, don't know if the weather will allow me one last outing before I put her away for the winter but I'd like to see your car at some point and I owe you a drive. Dave

Haha; I know the feeling well! ...pretty sad when 44 year old original parts are 10x better than brand new repops. A good percentage of the repop parts I bought ended up in the garbage or spare parts pile...probably added over $5k to my resto cost. I'll see how it goes this weekend and give you a call if I can get out. I'm putting a lift in to store Donna's new toy (Mercedes SLK) above the 'Bee. ...sorry for the semi-threadjacking! Dave

sadly the reverse is much more likely; I have a pinion leak, rear wheel seal leak, tranny pan leak....oh well, at least it'll be a bit easier to deal with on the new lift!

Had a fuel delivery problem with the shaker bonnet on. Bent two new 3/8 lines to the carbs and wrapped them in insulation and that's fixed, A/F ratios are pretty much dead on and the car drives awesome. Still waiting for new armrest pads so I can change the front door panels but the car is done and is fun to drive. Haven't taken it to any shows yet and I don't care too. I enjoy my cars from behind the wheel. Only thing I plan on doing is rip into the matching #'s 340 and get it ready to be dropped in some day.

Sheldon, at what rpm do you start tapping into the front carb on a steady acceleration? Still battling my stumbling issues at 2400-3000 rpm's. I'm thinking I may be trying to run to far off the back carb? Anyhow, when I start tapping into the front carb the stumble goes away....
